And these pearls of wisdom from Rhule in the presser:
"They did a good job early on of coming out, bringing four guys in the B-gaps and bringing the free safety behind. Some of the mechanisms we have to handle that are the screen game, and our gapping it up, and trying to throw the ball down the field." Everyone on the board knows Satts offense.....Screen pass (check), run the ball straight up the a$$ in the B gap and YOLO.....Every team with a pulse has stopped us in all facets of "our mechanisms to handle this"
But I think in general in the passing game, when it came to converting third downs, they were just all out zero blitzing us, and we weren’t answering it the way that you need to. We finished the game like 9-17 on third down. In the first half at one point it was one for a lot. We struggled, made the adjustment early, got it kind of finally taken care of in the second half..
We were not answering the zero blitz. This is basically every defender w/out a "body to account for" just pins their ears back and blitzes. So every eligible player is now basically in a one on one situation. Very risky for the D. At one point Raiola was 3-10....Satt had no plan to beat this zero blitz. None.
The key to people has been wearing them down in the fourth quarter. That game was a carbon copy of their Minnesota game where Minnesota got the ball back and went down the field. They just made one more play to win the game. Unfortunately, Heinrich (Haarberg) makes the fourth down stop. We get down there and we take a penalty and we lose time and we don’t make the plays.” As someone had mentioned earlier, Rhule coaches/schemes/plays to have games come down to one play in the 4th quarter. I think he just wants to/hopes to keep it close and hope a play or penalty goes his way....Not a killer instinct. No gas and all brakes. All bark and no bite....
