Some good shit Sammy agree with most, disagree slightly with some ...
"The blitz" is getting alot of talk on these pages.. I know a little bit about the blitz..
You are correct when you allude to the fact that many teams blitz without a good plan and to a certain extent a team that blitzes too much is trying to overcompensate for other flaws...
I am not in anyway suggesting Philly has a lot of flaws on defense, they don't, and they are very good.. But make no mistake, if you blitz, no matter how well conceived it is and no matter how well you disguise it- there is an easy play to be made somewhere on the field for the QB.. Warner has been and always will be the master of that.. He has seen it all and he has the studs at WR and the trust that they will be in the right places.
I will be the happiest guy in South Florida if Philly blitzs a ton Sunday because by doing so you just moved Warner's QB rating up exponentially.
Fuck, I can't wait for gameday..
You pretty much nailed it on the head buddy.. Warner seemed to struggle more with the Giants when they rushed 4 and dropped 7 in coverage.
Carolina tried that but has no secondary and schemes and are one of the worst units in the NFL--
The teams that beat KURT are the ones that rushed 4 and were able to make KURT MOVE.
NUT have you noticed that PEYTON Manning is like a robot, he will throw a pass in a game exactly like it was designed in practice, he has to have perfect footing, Manning cannot throw a bad ball, meaning he cannot adjust, he has to throw with precision to exactly where receivers are supposed to be.
One thing I agree is there is always a guy open vs man to man coverage vs a BLITZ. The throw to make also is a deeper route or a crossing route.
I played QB TEE and I had a good arm, and when teams would man us up I would look for the big play fastest receiver and hit him deep automatically.
Warner will throw the out route to Boldin and look for Breaston Deep and FITZY on a deep pass or a throw behind or an in route--
So a lot comes down to Warners recognition of the Philly Defense--
As you know there are 2 kurts. There is clean KURT that looks calm and picks apart defenses because he is reading teh defense and throwing theball quickly.
Then there is BAD KURT who holds onto the ball as the secondary is doing enough to take the quick throws away and making Fitzy and Boldin work to get open. Bad KURT usually gets hit hard and his hair looks a little ruffled up.
The key really is a matchup with the ZONA offense and WARNER vs PHILLY defense coordinator Johnson and the secondary packages.
You are right the Eagles usually have more success when they dont blitz, thier zone coverage is very good, Samuel and Brown are very good at coverage.
I think the key in this game will be the ZONA D. The Vikings D and the Giants D had on some plays NO PASS RUSH. This would be a concern as I noticed on some plays MCNABB had a lot of time to throw. I noticed that the Philly O line was dominating the pass rushes of Vikes and Giants.
how many times was Mcnabb sacked the last 2 games?
If Zona plays like they can on D they can win the game on D. This is a good unit with a lot of good college players who are playing together now.
Tee a lot of the games are won with coaching and DEFENSE--
Much like the Giants won last year they did it a lot with DEFENSE and an opportunistic offense.
This matchup is intriguing, but I think ZONA is a hot and cold team. At times they can be very hot and at times a little cold.
When they struggled their D was really cold.
I think a lot of this game will be won with the defensive coordinators vs offensive coordinators.
