are we playing defense "the right way"?
when i look at all the dominant D's of the past they are all really aggressive, tight man coverage, lots of blitzing, getting after the QB, safeties close to the line etc. Like the 2001 Ravens, San Diego's D, pittsburgh, even the 03 pats played this way, especially in the Rams SB.
It seems like we play way too much zone defense, which gets shredded. We keep our safeties back usually to not get beat deep, keep everything infront of you. Bend but dont break, well its been breaking alot. I just dont see that aggressive style of D. The pats seem to play this way on purpose, its their scheme, is it wrong?
We dont really have the personell to play the other way, we dont have the corners, we dont have Antoinio Cromartie or Champ Bailey, we didnt draft that way we drafted zone corners. We dont have elite pass rushers on the dline we got guys that drop back into coverage well.
I want our D to be as dominant as our O, i want to have one of those amazing defenses. I just feel like we cant have it because we dont play that way, anyone else feel the same?
