Props to Phil Snow

[ncsfinest21]

Phil Snow had the defense ready today. Granted they got some long passes and Olave killed us but the adjustments to blitz and use creative designed stunts to confuse Winston and put pressure on him to get rid of the ball allowed us to seal the W. We need more of that, especially on 3rd and long. Offense is still garbage and needs to pick it up but kudos to shenault for his 103 yards and TD on 1 drive. Made Bakers stats look real deceptive.

We had a few guys step up and I loved the energy and effort for the most part...  but we gave up 353 pass yards and I believe it was 84 rush yards.  The difference was the turnovers and that the Saints are a bad team.  And the turnovers were created by the players more than the scheme.

I would say the LUVU rip was but the other two was because Horn came on a blitz and tipped the ball and derrick brown picked it. That was because of the package and confusion and same with the last, blitz and Winston forced it and Horn Int. The long passes players just got burned, particularly Henderson and thats not Snows fault.

But my point is that Ive watched these games and no adjustments were made and teams came back and beat us. It was good to see Snow dial up pressure to seal the game instead of just allow the dink and dunk and let them come back

Yeah… props to Phil Snow for not dropping Burns back in coverage today… but I take my props back for continuing to play Chinn at safety.

I appreciate the approach today. The tough part was we were running zero blitzes when we had a two touch down lead in the fourth quarter. I am more of the type who’d prefer to bring 3-5 and play coverage in that’s situation. I know other’s prefer to keep the heat coming. At the end of the day it’s about execution. I would have rather we went into coverage mode, but fug it we won.

I believe we did go into coverage mode and that's when he started finding rhythm in the offense. When we started pressuring him we started getting Ints.

Good day for sure for the D.  But we have to clean up our third down passing defense.  It is so maddening!

The biggest pass plays today came off of the zero blitz’s. There was one play to Olave that went for 25ish yards that was just a cover 2 beater. That was due to the pass rush not getting home.

 

also, am I the only one that feels the tre smith catch was incomplete ??

Burns still dropping back in pass coverage.

Chinn still away from the LOS despite having an int and a defelction when he's up.

The inability to stop the one route Michael Thomas runs early on in drives. 

Lining the DBs 10 yards off the WRs on 2nd,3rd and short for easy conversions. 

The team still went prevent soft zone up 13 and almost let them back in the game. 

 

There is still PLENTY I'm not happy with about this defense but I will give props to Derrick Brown who played his ass off again. This unit is night and day when he plays like he did today.

On the post game show, it was stated that the focus was putting pressure on the runners and on Winston.  Chinn was specifically called out as playing closer to the line than normal.

Can you believe that Phil "5am 100 push-up" Snow is better at fielding a defense than Ron "so what Snow, look at my chest" Rivera... last 3 years DC Snow >>> DC RR

Team would win 10+ games if the O just averaged 27 per.....its not that hard given the current rules....
