PFF grades from KC...(for what they're worth)

What makes you say that? -

Is he though? He's our least refined corner right now out of Dane, Benford, and him imo. -

Problem is we don't see a ton of man coverage - that's where you'll see the most adjustment from a defense vs the jet. NFL backers are too good to be fooled by the eye candy of McKenzie. -

They ran out of hungover college kids to do their manual labor for them so they've out-sourced it to India for a while now. -

PFF graders don't understand football. Those positions are out-sourced. -
Wow! We're Really Good at Stopping the Run!
HoofHearted replied to st pete gogolak's topic in The Stadium Wall
A defensive line that actually commands double teams which is allowing our linebackers to fly around. -
Ken Dorsey is really really good

This is what bugs me about fans. If it had scored a touchdown I assume everyone would be raving about what a great call it was. -
The reason it didn't work is because of the pre-snap motion. It was initially double coverage between Rousseau and Milano, but the motion out the backfield pulled Milano off the coverage on Kelce and put it on the back. Edmunds was then tasked with picking up the man coverage on Kelce while coming from across the field. Well designed scheme from KC against our man coverage. Allowed them to throw the hot. I'm with you though - they need to line up whoever their edge rusher is on that side of the field and run through Kelce's face at the LoS to at least throw off some timing.

It's just called an add-on. 🤷♂️ Don't know what else to tell ya here.

Depends on what the back does. If Singletary had released to his side he would have manned him.

Minkah was actually a coverage player on that play. He had combo coverage on the back. When he stepped up away from him that's what gave him the ability to rush the pass since he became a free player.

Oh 100%! Those are adjustments made throughout the week or on the sidelines/halftime during games though not on the fly during a play.

Hot take: Shakir should be the starting slot receiver going forward
HoofHearted replied to Logic's topic in The Stadium Wall
No, I'm with you haha. The safest bet there is to throw the under. It was so wide open when the ball left Josh's hand - that's why he took it. The thing I was trying to get across was that it wasn't just a prayer being thrown up that we got lucky on. -

It is Tampa 2, but again - tell a QB he's got a receiver 1 on 1 with a linebacker and they're gonna take that shot every time. -
Saffold's eyes hang on Minkah for another second or two after the initial step back, but he can't just sit there and wait on it. He has to protect B gap. So if he were to just sit there with his eyes inside and the 5 tech who stayed outside on Dawkins instead ran some type of pinch and came into B gap he'd have a clear rush lane to the QB. Slide protection works because it's gap based. Can't start making up rules based on who the personnel is in front of you on any given play. It muddies the waters and then you are just freelancing.

I'm running into the same issue with the pictures, but lets see if I can explain it without them. Fitzpatrick eliminates himself as an initial rush threat as soon as he steps backwards into coverage. You can see as soon as the ball is snapped both Saffold and Morse have eyes on Minkah because pre-snap he is a potential rush threat. Once he declares himself to no longer be an immediate rush threat Saffold no longer has anything holding him to help chip with Morse so he works to his gap side to double for when the defensive end will ultimately work back upfield on Dawkins. Once Morse sees Minkah isn't an initial rush threat his eyes go to backside A to punch the backside A gap rusher to help Bates overtake. As soon as Morse engages with the defender his eyes immediately go back to his gap side (left) because that's ultimately what he is responsible for. Once Morse sees Minkah try to add on he works to disengage from the backside A gap defender to pick up Minkah. If Minkah had rushed immediately Saffold would have been involved in the block - if he rushed B gap Saffold would have him - if he rushed A gap Saffold would have punched to give Morse time to overtake, but would have gotten eyes back to his B gap after making initial contact with his punch. Hope that helps clarify.

Yes, the 98 yard touchdown play. I explained the blocking rules to the half slide protection that the Bills ran in that original response I linked.
