Thoughts on the pass defense?


Bermuda Triangle

Recommended Posts

The number of (1) easy, stress-free completions and (2) receivers running open downfield, is alarming, to say the least.

 

I've never been a big fan of Frazier's style of defense, but even his staunchest defenders have to admit that the defense has played poorly of late.

 

Will Frazier be able to right the ship before next weekend?

I prefer shutting down the run, and hitting QBs. Yes you give up bigger plays, but you don’t give up time consuming drives and the QB takes hits as you send more than they can block. Make sure the QB hits the turf on every pass. The hits add up and the big plays given up don’t tax your defense.

The lack of pressure that we used to be getting with Miller is starting to expose our beat up secondary.  Since we play primarily zone, getting consistent pressure is really important to throw the timing of the QB off.  As decent as Rousseau has been, the other side is just filled with JAGs now.

It's the defense you prefer these days. So many good and young QBs AFC. Blitz they'll destroy you for TD. It's not just Bills lots of team's following this type of defense.

The secondary needs constant pressure from the d line. It appears we get that with Rousseau but nothing from the opposite end. We miss Von Miller for sure. Need someone to step up, whether it's Epenesa, Basham, etc. A strong push from the tackles would help also. We are getting some but not consistently.

Not an excuse. He was found gold in the off-season that wasn't expected. Frazier been here for God knows how long and his bend but don't break is very blah.

I hate Fraziers zone. Always have, always will.  It only works if you get pressure on the qb, which we didn't today. Our front 4 especially the DT's were bad today.  Blitzing lately has been ineffective.  And if we can't generate pressure on the upcoming qbs, our DB's will suffer.  Von was the missing piece to raise everyone else's game.  Now McD & Frazier will be called upon to stop Tua, Burrow or Mahomes.

His bend but don't break approach is what pisses me off. 49ers put out a blueprint on how to shut the Dolphins offense down and he refuses to use it

Team's defend middle of field or don't let deep pass most vs dolphins. Sometimes break down vs the speed but most int trying to throw the middle. Might give up run plays but fish give up for no reason. Bill's have been following that game plan. Best way to defeat the dolphins.
