Re: Base D vs Blitzing D

White & Robinson playing up on the line of scrimmage seemed to click for both of them. The secondary holding Jordy Nelson to 3 catches for 25 yards is pretty freakin' impressive.

And it looks like Cam Jordan has finally woken up, and that kid Edebali coming in late in the game to get a sack on A-Rod & a strip fumble on Flynn (against the 1st string GB o-line at that) was an awesome sight.

I'll admit I was surprised & cynical when Edebali got one of the roster spots...but I was wrong. I said not too long ago that a rookie(s) need to step up and start making plays. Edebali was certainly NOT on that list, but if this kid's light just came on, we look pretty good with our front 4 pass rusher depth.

I noticed Edebali made the most out of his reps. Maybe, just maybe we have something there.

I wanted to reach through the TV and slap Cris Collinsworth Sunday night when he kept talking about Ryan wanting to blitz all the time. He had no clue what he was talking about at all.
At least Colinswothless is consistent,
he never does know what the hell he's talking about.

Me

My buddy Ken (he's funny as ****)

This guy


My wife (she seems to know everything)

Saintfan (if that water boy thing doesn't work out)

Kate Upton (she's better to look at and has a more masculine voice than Collensworth)

Imagine pre game analysis like this...
That's just off the top of my head.

Last night, this Base D with just Front 4 pressure with 7 in pass coverage certainly seemed effective. We got 2 picks of one of the best QB's & receiving corps in the league. We had 4 sacks as well, although 1 was against Flynn.

We did give up 2 HUGE chunk plays of over 60 yards, but sometimes you have to expect that kind of thing against Rodgers & Crew.

But what do y'all think? Stay in Base D & scrap the constant blitzing? We did seem to get plenty of QB pressure with just 4 last night. Of course, DC Ryan's head would explode if he doesn't blitz.
We gave up over 400 yards passing... The only time the D looked good was when Rogers didn't have all year to throw. Pressure is the key in my opinion, how you get the pressure is the problem. If we are rushing 4, that's fine but we need to get home. I wasn't too impressed by the defense, they had good moments but missed tackles and WR/RBs running free was still a problem.

Re: Base D vs Blitzing D

Collinsworth knows a lot on offense I will give him that much....defense he has the knowledge of a falcons head coach. As far as the defense Im not satisfied until White and Robinson plays consistently, so until they do this for about 3 straight games Im still not impressed.

I actually think he's the best color guy out there right now. Which makes it all the more disappointing when he gets things so wrong. He just didn't do his research at all.

It's Aaron Rodgers he is one of the Best in the league right now. Give them some credit. When you face Brady, Brees, Manning, Rodgers a win on defense is less about what you give up ( statistically) and more about what he puts on the board. After the Cobb score, the whole entire Defense stood their ground. There were a hell of a lot of field goals that could have easily been TD, and the ints were a little icing.

Did anyone notice curse out the whole Green Bay sideline after the Hawthorne pic.... LOL FUB!!!! That was funny!!!!
