Greg F Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 Give Darby safety help over the top... Please please! Mother of mercy ... Don't let it be Rambo!
Nanker Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 Please please! Mother of mercy ... Don't let it be Rambo! Maybe one of these times he'll actually hit the receiver.
truth on hold Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 I mostly agree with that, but have a slightly different take. I'm pretty sure Cruz primarily works out of the slot. Have Roby take him, since he's so good covering slot receivers, and let Gilmore take on their big, physical receiver Randle on the outside. Have the ultra-athletic Darby cover their deep threat Beckham. Give Darby safety help over the top (though I don't think he'd need it all the time), let the other two play on islands, and get after Manning and stop the run. Gilmore should be able to shut Randle down, Darby plus the occasional safety would leave Beckham having trouble to find space, and occasionally giving Robey some help on Cruz to potentially reduce Cruz's impact, and they'd be stuck with the run game and checkdowns. Other than Gronk, we've been good against TEs recently, so as long as we can have someone match up against their TE, and we continue to stop the run, I think we should be fairly well off on D this coming week. Sounds like a plan. And even though Darbys a rookie its only Beckham's 2nd year, and 16th start since he missed first 4 games last year. The experience gap isn't so great
