Symbiotic relationship between offense and defensive performance

Any NFL-watcher can identify momentum swings throughout the game resulting in mental pressure as opponents appear unstoppable for stretches in games.  In the event that a team's offense or defense struggles, there's no doubt that pressure gets added to the opposite unit.  In my opinion, mental pressure is more impact than physical pressure exhibited during an NFL game, same as any competition.  It makes the routine task appear mountainous....Example: How does Blair Walsh miss a 10-yd filed goal to win a playoff game... the answer is PRESSURE!

 

So if Nate Peterman can operate the offense better than Tyrod Tayler... then yes some pressure will get alleviated from the defense in addition to helping the offense AND hopefully allow both units to perform better.  Denver's D is a perfect case study example for how a terrible offense can ruin a great defense to some degree.

Having played some football - there is to an extent.  But it goes both ways.  If the defense legit just lets them keep walking down the field its very disheartening when you play offense.  There's no margin for error.  So you end up playing stiff.

I think for the most part, Peterman may be a more suitable QB for this offense...........in saying this, TT gets a little antsy in the pocket and tends to move around alot. That puts alot of pressure on the Oline, as they have to try and have eyes in the back of their heads, trying to determine what exactly TT is doing back there. Peterman just may stand in the pocket a little longer which puts the focus on keeping pressure off him from in front of him and not have to worry about every corner of the pocket as with TT.

 

Does that make sense?
