Sen. John Blutarsky Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Running QB's killed us in the past because we played a lot of man to man. in man everyone is chasing their man, not looking at the QB. You have to waste a LB as a spy to keep an eye on the QB and it basically makes it a one on one matchup, the QB vs. your most athletic LB. Bad match-up if the QB is Vince Young or Mike Vick. This year we play lots of zone where everyone is looking into the backfield, there are more eyes on the QB and more people will react when he runs. All 3 LBs are looking back into the backfield instead of one, etc. Also, we are a faster defense than last season. Simpson and Whitner are faster than Milloy and Vincent, Ellison blows Posey away and our DTs can cover ground much more than Adams and Edwards. Look at Vick's career numbers against Tampa. Tampa DESTROYS Vick because they surround him with fast people and make him throw. If we make Young throw we win, period. Get Travis to lay it down once or twice (you KNOW he's overdue for that) and make Mr. Young beat us passing the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
