Face Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 I also like that Vrabel mentioned getting Marcus into a good groove with short passes & to also emphasize screens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last thing a team from Tennessee needs is to hire a coach named Jim Bob Cooter to help perpetuate the stereotype. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was one of the biggest positive takeaways for me from his interviews. Cosell was also talking about how the “coverage consistency” that Vrabel referred to and is a staple of the Patriots and Texans defenses, means that they play a limited number of coverages in order to prevent communication breakdowns leading to big plays. I know LeBeau and others run complex coverages that may have a man to man look on one side and zone on the other. Or like you were saying, option coverages comparable to the concept of option routes on offense. So less room for error. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much on Cosell either, but I could handle a Callahan hire for Marcus. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nine Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 The Pats game was essentially a clinic on how to incorporate running backs in the passing game....which is something the Titans should have been doing all along with Murray. I doubt Mularkey and Robiskie learned anything from the experience....except for the fact that after sitting through a three-hour clinic, they still can't figure out how to defend it. Hopefully Vrabel's staff has a very different philosophy toward the passing game, both offensively and defensively. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lo White and Pinkett would disagree with you but that was the Oilers so never mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or like you were saying, option coverages comparable to the concept of option routes on offense. So less room for error. LeBeau plays a lot of "matchup zone", which in very simple terms is where the corner plays man against certain routes, usually shorter ones, but it turns into zone once that route reaches a certain depth. It can be complicated, which is probably why those Steelers teams usually had vets who weren't necessarily shutdown corners but communicated well & didn't make mistakes. He has changed to more man with us though, certainly playing more aggressive coverages. Its interesting that the Pats play limited coverages, I always thought they were known to be pretty exotic in that area. I do know that when Mangini was the DC that he tried some stuff that was overly complex & it led to some issues with BB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We actually got a pretty good rush but Brady just completely mitigated it with the RB passes. It drove me nuts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It drove me nuts. The pass rush was terrible that game. Brady basically was able to take a nap and do whatever he wanted. He got hurried maybe 2-3 times later in the game. All in all it was a terrible performance by the front 7. Probably from poor scheming. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
