I pray that we keep a "spy" on Miller, especially if we're blitzing, and hopefully it's someone with some speed. Scares the hell out of me locking up man on man, sending the farm and letting Miller get loose and run for days
If we have a player as a "spy" AND player(s) blitzing, Miller just needs to throw a ball in an open area or hand the ball off and that WR/HB will run for days.
I don't think we'll see a "spy" at all. We will see a defense coached certain assignments and hopefully the defense is in a position where Miller has nowhere to go throwing or running. There will be time Miller makes plays, the defense just can't let it happen routinely.
that "spy" can tackle players other than Miller, and do more than just watch Miller run around, you know that right? Like standing in that open area that Miller wants to throw it into (middle of the field where the spy likely will be set up) or tackling the WR/HB that he hands the ball off to. Since he'd spying Miller he's probably going to see that handoff and be in a pretty good position to stop it don't ya think?
a spy is not a worthless party out on the field. he's just not expected to cover the slant across the middle because his responsibility is different. I'd take 10 completions on that slant for 8-10 yards each with a frazzled Braxton in the pocket over what most teams have been doing with him. He screws up when he has pressure on him, when he can't do it on his own, when he's not running the ball well. He starts to panick and throws interceptions. One interception on our side of the field almost negates every one of those 100 yards. Those 100 yards in completions are nothing in compared to what a spy can do to their offense w/ Braxton in there. We've seen it done to us numerous time, and we've lost terribly.
