MNF - Seattle Seahawks v Houston Zombie Oilers

[Donn Beach]

Weren't they using him at weapon, which means he can be wherever he wants to be?

I've never heard of that. Terms of Emmanwori getting the freedom to improvise, he's a rookie that's been injured much of the season and hasn't played. I think he would be getting told what to do

[Donn Beach]

What do I know, just some stuff I read. MM is here because he's considered to have a brilliant defensive mind, maybe the best. Looking at that deal I posted earlier, the fan description. Its interesting, he brings up stuff that we are dealing with, like missed tackles. The deal is its a very complicated defense. Its not just having guys playing certain positions, its combinations of players, there's a synergy to it. And its disciplined, it needs to be. I don't think there be much room for improvising. I'd be curious to know what MM says about it.

. Most importantly, DISCIPLINE. The scheme works cuz it's hard for QBs to process, but it's also a challenge for his players to execute so many motions, disguises, etc. This is a very complicated scheme with a lot going on in every play. Seattle was 10th in defense penalties this year. On top of that, Seattle needs some serious work on the missed tackle problem- Hawks were 3rd in defense missed tackles this year. Had Bmore missed another 4 tackles, they would've led the NFL. Calling perfect coverage won't mean shit if the defense keeps missing tackles. A complicated scheme like this really requires players to not fuck up, if someone's out of position in a disguise-reliant zone scheme, you'll get WRs wide open and you can't have that. Improving the safety room is also critical, MM's scheme depends on good safeties to prevent TDs and YAC. Seattle has the advantage of already having Spoon & Riq, but with Spoon in the box and blitzing more to fill the Hamilton role, the other DBs will need to step up to make sure WRs aren't open. Remember- Ravens got sacks because their talented secondary consistently covered receivers and bought the DL time to get home.

Mostly just want to get my mind off of baseball.

Like go back to the TB game, the coverage issues. It was more than guys getting beat, the whole thing was off. MM taking the blame. Its detail oriented, MM is going to be running it. Its not just guys flying around. And the aspect of disguise, defense really relies on hiding or confusing a players intended purpose. If it seems confusing having Emmanwori that far off the line that could be the intended purpose. At least that's how I see it

MM on the Jones interception, he was where he was told to be

Jones' interception, was that his assigned place?

Yeah, right in the paint.

Exactly where he was supposed to be?

Yeah. Where he's supposed to be. Right where the ball is.

On the flea flicker

It might go in the freezer

Don't think I've ever initiated a game thread. Let the jinx begin!
ANyone see Naylor show up to game 5 in the Sonics jersey? Epic! But also; absolutely F the NBA!

By the way, the Tennessee Titans are the Zombie Oilers, just like the OKC Thunder are the Zombie Sonics. The Texans are the Invasion Of The Body Snatcher Oilers.
