Pass Rush

[Harry]

He’s a little light, but I’ve thought they might move Sweat forward and put his hand on the ground, playing Burch at OLB. Overloading that side could increase pressure. Maybe they tried it and I missed it.

Harry, when I saw the thread of this subject I was prepared to read something like: “We need one. Especially late in games.”

sweat isn't the best at pulling up and holding the edge but he's ok at it - same with browning - I'd like to overload on either side - giving one of them a true green light

Jordan Burch with 3 pressures in six games (189 snaps). Gotta find a way to get this guy on the field more.

Zaven Collins has six pressures in 199 defensive snaps.

BJ will be back soon to fix the pass rush.
Just ask Monti.

Owner says he’s dominant

I put the failure of our pass rush so far this season on Rallis and Gannon. Watching some of NE and Ten today and they are blitzing the crap out of Ward, hitting him, getting lots of mistakes. It's still hard to take that the last two drives of that game we rushed four and played a soft zone every single play.

rallis doesn't trust our secondary in the clutch same way petzing doesn't trust kyler

I don't get it. If you actually watch their play they are BETTER in man coverage than zone. I know I shouldn't act like I am smarter than the coaches. This is what I see. Man coverage? Lots of times pretty tight on the receivers. Zone? Receivers have room.

 

[D-Dogg]

Can we not blitz? Why were more aggressive last season with less talent?

 

[BritCard]

Pass rush has been disappointing. There's been crucial, game deciding downs where the rush could pin their ears back and just done nothing.

Do a lack of both 1st round DT has nothing to do with the problem?

 

[Sandan]

Not to mention losing CBs?

No. When you know you need a pass rush and can't get one with a four-man rush, only an idiot coach doesn't dial up a blitz. Especially when they constantly watch that defense fail in the fourth quarter. There's a large sample size they are ignoring.

That is a good simple answer.

How would deal with the problem of us being missing 2 starting corners. I must in case our opposition has the same insight, picks up the blitz and passes over the top ?

I did the math last week and about 20% of our starters are on IR. Which of course includes our 1 & 2 RB in a run first offence.

While I'm as pissed off as you are I at least acknowledge the scale of the problem. There is no simple answer

its really one corner right now -- Garrett Williams

honestly, relative to the rest of the NFL the defense is not an outlier on bad health

one could make the argument on offense that injuries matter --

 

[Sandan]

I have hope for the rookie

I think some of this comes from leading so much in these games. It's easy to take risks when you are behind or feel like you have nothing to lose. I would like to see more aggressiveness from the defense overall, but this team doesn't seem to be effective at blitzing and it might be because we are less frequent in doing so.

There is a simple solution to try. Not. Doing. The. Same. God. Damned. Thing. That. Keeps. Failing. Over. And. Over. And. Over. Again.

If you're going to fail, at least fail while trying to freaking succeed, FFS.

EVERY DAMN TEAM HAS INJURIES. The Niners are a MASH unit. 5-2 in the West. The Bucs are a MASH unit. Best in the NFC. Lions… injuries all over their D. 4-2. And on and on.

And our offense has been BETTER with the injuries so throw that excuse out. And the D is missing two “starting” CBs everyone here thought would be benched for Melton and Johnson before they got hurt.

Also, losing to Tennessee Titans, at home.

I learnt my lesson, I'll go back to lurking.
