headhunter Posted May 5, 2021 Report Share Posted May 5, 2021 This was another good look at our defense. Like I said I don't make these. Spoiler alert, Hooker is a much better in the box safety than Free safety. I also didn't realize Byard played alot of strong safety last year which was shocking to me. Hopefully with the new CBs we can free up Byard some more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tgo Posted May 6, 2021 Report Share Posted May 6, 2021 They try to do so much disguise and coverage rotation that they end up fooling themselves. They got way too cute with things schematically last year, during the covid offseason nonetheless, and it cost them. They basically have Hooker and Byard equally splitting between free safety and strong safety and rotating coverages, when Byard’s true strength is at free safety and Hooker’s true strength is strong safety. They even had Vaccaro playing a lot of free, which is crazy to me. Overly complex scheme with no offseason and a new DC = communication breakdowns and tepidity.

AJClown Posted May 6, 2021 Report Share Posted May 6, 2021 Holy shit...... our defensive players were so out of position last year. Vrabel is quickly losing my respect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starkiller Posted May 6, 2021 Report Share Posted May 6, 2021 1 hour ago, OILERMAN said: Good stuff and pretty obvious some of the coverage issues were schematic Some scheme, but it was probably also execution. If the point of showing one scheme pre-snap and then shifting safeties was to confuse QBs then why telegraph the real formation? Were they coaching Byard to move down immediately rather that delaying a second or was he doing that of his own accord? Either way it’s on the coaches for not fixing it.

scine09 Posted May 6, 2021 Report Share Posted May 6, 2021 Vrabel always says that they have to be multiple. Sometimes they probably go too far in trying to make players play multiple positions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But don’t routinely play your guys away from their strengths to do it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
