Somewhat related...On obvious passing downs, when we 'bring the house' blitz we always seem to do it in a balanced way. With a blitzer on each end and one up the middle. Or lots of guys straight up the middle.
Wasn't working against stupd cow.
Watching NFL last week, I saw blitzes effective from overloading one side such that a well-coordinated O-line (such as stupd cow clearly had) couldn't handle it. There was just too much manpower coming from one side (preferably forcing the qb to scramble to his 'wrong hand' side).
We should've used overload blitzing against stupd cow when other pressure didn't work.
61 yard completion on 3rd and 30--are you kidding me.
That was such an easy thing to predict. I knew as sure as I was breathing oxygen and drinking beer that Marshall would somehow pick up that first down. You have all the cards on 3rd and 30!!! Why do you send the house?? Why give up your advantage by taking an unnecessary risk?? Why does coach Burrow do this? and how does a defender let a receiver get behind him that quickly? Were we even trying? later in the same drive we had them 3rd and 26 and they damn near got it. We can talk about how young and inexperienced our offense is but our super experienced defense just got assaulted to the tune of 700 yards. Seven. hundred. effing. yards. Somehow, the word got out about our offensive and defensive schemes, because they just don't seem to work against anyone. Kent is a joke, so I don't really take any solace in the fact that we finally managed a three-point victory against a crappy team that for some inexplicable reason has been in our head so badly in recent years.
