Screen Pass Defense

No the problem with stopping a screen pass is that you have 7-8 people trying to stop run, then pass (going after QB for a sack), instead of sniffing out the ball and getting between the QB and the back to break it up. They either didn't sniff it out or didn't know where to go to break it up. If you look at the game film, whenever a linemen or lb sniffed screen they moved like a foot or to to lt or rt but never went to the flats. They have to get to the flat to break it up not just stand there. The defensice coach sucks for this reason. You have to teach the linemen if rb's and linemen are drift to your side then you get there and give up on a sack or pressure (hell they didn't get much pressure anyways). the other side is the one who applies the pressure.
