No we don’t. We need to blitz more. We just flat don’t. 

No we have those needs

Thats a poor excuse, its hard to get pressure when you don't do any types of blitz or creative DL play. We just do straight up 4 man rush, which helps the OL.

Add that to soft coverage and thats Bradley's defense

Yeah but that’s how you have to win in the NFL.  Most NFL QBs eat blitzes for breakfast.

[Solid84]

Buck with a batted pass!

At CB and safety, yes. Pass rush wise not so much

Coverage playing with backups to the backups. Defense is keeping us in the game. Offense hasn’t done anything today 

Offense has done next to nothing scoring today. Gus Bradley can’t get no credit today?

You don't have to blitz the most, but you also can't be the team that blitzes the least. Just be somewhere in the middle so they have to respect the threat

[GoColts8818]

Keep Leonard in on third down to spy on Young.  He’s killing the Colts on that play.

They are also playing one of the worst teams, so really no. this is what should be expected when playing a terrible offense

40 is a steal 7th round

Yeah tired of seeing Speed in there on passing downs over him.

Blitzes aren’t like teams having to respect the run on offense.  Teams read blitzes presnap and that’s where most NFL QBs beat it.  

[rjbalchusa]

This defense makes their opponents look like "all pros".

i thihnk they have taken leonard out with the bigger lead, not 100 percent on that tho

They keep taking him out in passing situations.

Nah, he's still in.

I don’t think Young sees the middle of the field very well.

That's pretty common for QBs of his stature.

Absolutely. He doesn't have the high end athletic traits or Brents or Rush, but he can just flat out play. He's doing the same thing he did in college. Just locks WRs up and plays the run well.

[Nickster]

I like Buckner on the edge in passing downs.  
 

It doesn’t seem like young has the arm strength to be an NFL qb.

[Lancer1]

If it weren't for Moore's heroics, it would be nervous time about now.

maybe im missing him but ive seen a lot of olubi and speed here

Yeah, the offense has put up 13 points.

yeah he is usually in good posiiton, plays with an attitude, i like 40 a lot

[Hark]

nice play by 40

[AKB]

speaking of 40, what a pretty pass defl

He was just in in the play you posted the post before 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Pats defense is still really good. I don’t see this offense being able to do much next week.

Yeah but you can show blitz (but not blitz) and make them change protection in a way that helps the regular pass rush but when you don't blitz it makes the offense easier to protect and call protections. We also don't do DL stunts really which also helps the offense. I would suggest looking up some interviews from some creative defensive coordinators like Bettcher. Theres alot that you can do to help your pass rush but we don't do any of it

[AKB]

JONES AGAIN

Yeah, that’s why when everyone keeps talking about the secondary and the Colts need to overhaul I am like Jones has played well.  It’s the Baker/Brown spot that’s the problem.  That’s only a problem because the two guys an ahead of them on the depth chart are hurt.  Most NFL teams will struggle that far into the depth chart.

Saw a chart and colts have one of the most predictable defenses in the league.

I see another win. Mac Jones stinks.

[Hark]

Exactly.

I am concerned about our passing game

I’m a big fan of defenses disguising their play.

Yeah but their defense is good. If we can’t score on this panthers defense what’s going to happen against a good pats defense.

Especially if Downs isn't good to go next week.
