1st and 2nd against Roy and Brady

by bad knees on Sep 2, 2008 9:41 AM CDT

My biggest concern for the up coming game, and all the games this year, is 1st and 2nd down pass defense. We use use these situational packages to play to our players strong suits; yet it can make us predictable and suseptable to the other teams because team will surely game plan for it.

Prime example: Taking Roy Williams and Brady out in passing situations, ie..3rd down. Duh! you never get to 3rd down if K. Winslow burns them on 1st and 2nd. I noticed it at the end of last year ,how it seemed teams were passing more on the nontriditional passing down and had good success ( or maybe it was just my imagination).

Anyway, nothing I can do about it, except worry and pray that Roy doesn't suck as bad this year!

I think he means Brady James

I am not worried at all. We will lineup with the personnel they put on the field..

not worried

I have faith in Wade. If a team starts to beat us on certain calls, the calls will be changed. He knows defense.

Wade is my biggest concern this year besides the wr's....

He has not won a thing and is way to easy on these players….I am not fond of his coaching style to say the least…He is a very good d cord but a head coach, not so sure

Winslow is the one who should be worried.

He probably only wants to be in on 3rd downs!

That #38 sure should wrap up!

They"ll try it

with teams & some fans thinking that Roy is a weak link, i"m confident Roy"s going to handle his business out there in whatever situation, teams are going to try to pass on 1st & 2nd downs against us to see if we can stop it, I"m sure we can so we have to be ready for anything at all times.

I think we scheme

to keep Bradie out of coverage as much as possible and let Zach handle more of those duties.

+1

I think they’ll line up in the nickel defense more than usual for this game. With our pass rush skills and kick ass secondary, Dallas should nullify the Browns most effective weapon, their passing game.

I’m looking for Tank and Rat to blowup the middle of the Cleveland line, force Anderson to throw before he’s ready.
