You should know by watching and playing the Titans that Jim Scwartz does not blitz... The only blitzes he does is a corner and safety blitz, and even then those are done at random and mostly on third down. We rely on our front four getting pressure and getting guys mixed in being fresh at the same time. The only guy that is always in is KVB, otherwise it's mixed between Tony Brown, Jason Jones, Kevin Vickerson, Dave Ball, Jevon Kearse, and Albert Haynesworth.

If Jim Scwartz's front four does not get pressure, he sucks as a Defensive coordinator.

... and therein lies the difference, our safeties never and I mean never blitz not even to mention that our CBs probably don't even know what a corner blitz is, the safeties are pretty much interchangeable pieces that are exclusively in a cover 2 shell and we still play with a 10 yard cushion off the receivers, no matter what the down is we run the same 4 man front out there every time with no variance in our packages.

Teams can overload one side because they already know where the push is coming. Like I said we have no man press and don't give those guys up front any time to collapse the line. As soon as any pressure starts to form QBs are dumping it off in those wide open zones underneath. Go look at the footage, not one deep ball has been completed on us because everything in front of them is fair game.

When you play that loose on the back end you leave no leeway for your front 4 to do their job successfully, this is why it's a coaching/scheme issue more so than the players. We have no one shooting gaps and we have no bump & run coverage immediately off the LOS.

Receivers and running backs are wide open for the first 6-8 yards immediately after the snap, if you leave those guys to roam free, how do you expect 4 guys to overcome 5 (at times 6) when every avenue of escape is at the quarterbacks disposal, you’re asking for a miracle, and it’s impossible with the cupcake scheme we run.

If we’re going to leave the safeties in a cover 2 shell all the time then the solution is that we need to press off the line with help up top and have our OLBs contain anything outside leaving the middle for DeMeco to play sideline to sideline and not having him make tackles well into the secondary, at least this gives the D-line some time to make the QB second guess before he immediately dumps off to the nearest safety valve.

The front 4 can only be successful if those other guys provide blanket coverage at least within the 1st 5-6 yards off the LOS. We may have to eat a few long bombs but this is a risk they must take.

They have been playing pretty good, im still sad how my dolphins gave up that final long drive to give you guys the win. Johnson was so cover but he somehow caught that huge 4th down pass.

This thread makes me LOL! The reason being is that this team basically came out of no where to do some very impressive things. It's solid and well balanced without much ego. That's the recipe for success in anything.

With their record currently I'm going for a 6-10
but im a little late on guessing this haha
