Orchard covering Boldin
-
It may be true you can't rush every LB every play, but why is a LB covering a WR?
Shouldn't the safety be covering the WR in the slot?
-
not in zone...or a pic type situation...
like I said, he had decent coverage anyway....its not like he was beaten for big yards or anything....LB's cover the middle...
If we only used Orchrd, Kruger and Armonty to rush....then what?....Mingo does everything else???
Its pretty stupid that people actually bitch like they WANT one dimensional Linebackers that can only rush the QB, but do nothing else......and dont like that the coach expects them to cover, play the run and tackle too....
unbelievable....
-
you cant rush every backer every play....sheesh...
olbs got 5 sacks today and we shut down the run....yet we have a thread about mis-using them???
If you are going to continually play Paul Kruger then you are misusing them.you cant rush every backer every play....sheesh...

It happens. One of our OLBs gets isolated on a receiver, and more than half the time, it's not Mingo.
Brady Quinn built a career on reading defensive weaknesses, didnt he.
Oneil's defense had them held to 120 yards through 3 and a half quaters, and I think half of that was QB scrambles, so Im OK with giving him a one week pass.

HA!....I couldnt agree more......
They've cut his snaps by about 30 per game and, for the first time, today Armonty played the most.....Kruger has 5 tackles and 2 sacks in the last 7 games....TODAY Armonty had 7 tackles and 2 sacks....one game...

Brady Quinn on comms couldn't believe his eyes, why does O'Neil do these things?
My knowledge of the game isn't detailed enough to know why he would do something that seems so daft.
LB's covering WR's happens more times than you may realize.Brady Quinn on comms couldn't believe his eyes, why does O'Neil do these things?

This is my first time listening to Brady Quinn call a game, I hope it was my last.
-
Yeah Quinn was awful for sure.
-
I didn't see the play in question but I'd be interested to see what Orchards designation was.
Anyone have a screen shot?
-
If O'Neil would just stop misusing our linebackers

IIRC, the Browns were playing zone and Boldin ran a drag route on Orchard's side.I didn't see the play in question but I'd be interested to see what Orchards designation was.

I didn't hear Quinn thank God. I didn't see the game either. Red Zone makes me mad every week and none of the networks like the Browns so I Have to ask you guys. Can you tell me who got the sacks? Also, did we and will we blitz more? We are probably going to get the third pick in the draft. Do we go for Bosa?

I've been watching the Oak vs. Den game tonight and Khalil Mack doesn't drop into coverage. He has 3 sacks so far and rushes the passer or plays the run on every play. Just sayin.
-
Looks like Mack ended up with 6 tackles 5 were sacks and no passes defended

Isn't Mack a defensive end / tackle? I thought we were only talking about LBs in coverage..

No...he's an OLB....and a true 3 tool linebacker....and his team uses ALL the tools.....run stopper, coverage guy and pass rusher..

He covers a bit more than our guys......Mack has dropped into coverage 71 times....Orchard 70....Kruger 56....Armonty 32
And Aldon Smith, the guy who's played opposite Mack, has only 28.....meaning Mack is their primary outside cover guy...
So.....still falling on deaf ears.....and, again, more proof that our guys are asked to do the same as everybody elses guys

Yet Mack has carded 776 snaps, while Orchard only has 358 and Kruger 539.No...he's an OLB....and a true 3 tool linebacker....and his team uses ALL the tools.....run stopper, coverage guy and pass rusher..

So...not exactly the same.their "primary outside cover guy" is in coverage on 10% of his snaps, while ours are in coverage 15 - 20%.

Thats fair...but we dont play the same systems, etc.....so was really just a response to the claim that he dosnt cover....or that OLBs dont cover....
He should cover less anyway, because he actually "can" get to the QB and play the run. so he stays in the whole game....Kruger cant, so he sits A LOT, while Orchard or Mingo cover(cause he cant play all 3 downs, like Mack...hence the reason Mack gets hundreds more snaps.....
Plus, lets get real....comparing Kruger vs Mack is a ridiculous comparison to start with.....
-
Also comparing Pettine and O'neil with Jack Del Rio and Ken Norton would be ridiculous.
They use their guys in places were they have a better chance to succeed. Our coaches seem to think their way will work with any player, regardless of the players ability.

In a 3-4 typical defense the Jack OLB is primarily a pass rusher. That requires a physique that isn't ideal for pass coverage. I don't mind the occasional zone coverage for an OLB but it didn't look like Orchard or Armonty Bryant vs Cinci were in zone coverage. If there are so many receivers out there that you need to put an OLB in coverage than maybe we should be in a nickel defense or dime defense. It's all about mismatches and I don't see the sense in making the opposing offenses job easier. We don't run a 4-3 defense where the OLB is expected to cover more.
