If we play defense like we did last night newton is gonna eat us alive himself. Cover man to man with no blitz at all if you want cam is gonna take off.

Yesterday wasn't a man scheme. It was a 2-deep zone shell with man underneath. Definitely a bend, don't break defense designed to keep the ball in front of the defenders.

As for the rush, it was a "mush rush" designed to keep Rogers contained in the pocket so as to limit the scramble drill.

For the most part it worked.

Exactly the same should be used for Newton. He's dangerous when he's out of the pocket. Keep him in the pocket and make him throw the ball.

Rush him and he escapes is bad news. Pressure should be in the pocket.

SFIAH

I hope you guys are right all I'm saying is this only 4 guys to beat while everyone is out manning up on receivers an safety's in deep zones. Odds are cams gonna take off not sit and wait untill someone's open and give time for pressure to get to him in pocket. Works with Rogers because he's not a runner but cam can outrun 4 fat guys.

he's gonna try to beat us with his legs and athletism anyways....wait a minute, that's what cam does. what i say is always keep a spy on him no matter what. i dont think our defense has to do too much of anything differently than what we did last night.

yeah, but hey we gotta do something to slow him down. one person say play our safeties up close(?) something. i just dont want to see him running around causing havoc.

I actually liked our defense in the second half. 2 deep safety with the corners playing man to man inside. It was great. Aaron Rodgers got smoked in the second half. Problem was he threw for almost 300 in the first half. Lol. Wowza.

You're right. But halftime adjustments made the difference. You get the feeling Rob Ryan is workin' it!!

Still got a ways to go, but it sure looked a little like last years Defense didn't it?
