Dan and Nick are joined by Match Quarters' Cody Alexander for a super, nitty-gritty deep dive on the Xs and Os focused on the defensive side of the ball -- specifically dealing in concepts that new defensive coordinator Shane Bowen will deploy. |
However, one thought that does come to mind is if we are going to be heavy on quarters coverage, it helps to have two physical safeties like Nubin and Pinnock in run defense. Sounds like Dexter's role may be changing a bit despite Andre Patterson saying otherwise.
I'm on a second watch trying to absorb some of the weighty stuff
Not defending Wink but that stat is definitely driven more by explosive runs than explosive passes. Interesting.
The passing number is actually pretty good. Similar to some Top 10 teams.

but don't break - winks defenses did a lot of breaking. exactly 1 in every 10 plays Winks defense gave up an explosive.

they go together, explosive runs keep teams in short yardage and force putting more guys in the box, which makes it easier for teams to get first downs and gain non-explosive yardage.
winks D created turnovers and you're right, not a ton of breakdowns in the deep passing game. but were bad vs the run, gave up a ton of yardage, and ultimately didn't prevent points from being scored. they were blitzing a lot which took guys out of coverage and since they didnt get home a lot teams gained a lot of yards/scored a lot of points.
