We currently have 27 of 53 spots being taken up by the OL and front 7 on defense. You won't see much more added to that.
I love that play. Hopefully the rest of our LB corps and D-line can generate the hesitation of the other team's blockers like the Ravens' do. Scott hits Big Ben so hard that he knocks his own chinstrap loose.
I'm not sure it was hesitation. Scott starts out over the center looking like he's going to blitz. After the center makes his blocking assignment call, Scott quickly runs to the weak outside and two other linebackers shoot the middle where Scott was when the line call was made. The RB was just following the centers directions moving into the middle and there were pass rushers coming up the middle. By moving the RB into the middle of the line the outside was left wide open for Scott to attack.
I think that play was more of a great awareneness by Scott, than a sceme thing. He let?s the Center call the protection, stays in the middle and fakes the blitz, untill the C looks back to the QB, then he goes over to the side and because the Center doesn?t see it, the O can?t adjust their Protection.
True but they also sent two other blitzers to the middle forcing the RB to stick with that call by the center. I'm sure it could have been something Scott did on the fly but it looks like it was by design to me. Who knows for sure?
Everything else looks like a normal Zoneblitz with 5 rushers, not that specatcular. The RT should have picked up Scott, not the RB, but the RT didn?t come outside, that?s clearly a fucked up blockingsceme becaus Scott wasn?t where they thought he would be. If Scott would have been there from the beginning, they would probably have called a half slide torwards him, and let the RB pick up the free man in the Middle. At least, that?s what I would have done to protect it.
I'm not disagreeing that Scott moving after the center made the line call was a huge factor in the play. I'm speculating that it could have been premeditated, rather than improvised by Scott. The only way to know for sure would be to ask Ryan and/or Scott.
Look at the center of the play, the blocking back jumps to the center of the line because it looks like they are going to flood the middle, and Scott holds his blitz just long enough for him to commit to the inside while they drop the DE into coverage, negating any inside flood. The center of the defensive front 7 is a feint. They froze the center of the blocking scheme and left Scott wide open.
good thing, NFL.com did. http://www.nfl.com/videos?videoId=09000d5d808ec714 I´d say it´s a great mix of sceme and Scott executing it perfectly. Scott obviously knows exactly what an Offense is doing and he takes advantage of it.
It remains to be seen. Sounds great coming out of the new coaches mouth but nobody on our front seven showed any consistency rushing the passer and we replaced one person and he's an ILB. I am a darksider, just close your eyes and it will come true. Whatever the Jets coaches and front office say repeat on this site like it came from you. Its becoming a cult
But that's the playcalling...not the players. The Jets were getting to the QB in the first 11 games of the season....and then the sudden drop-off happened....and we started dropping 8 bodies into coverage.
Here's the breakdown of the play by Scott himself on Playbook. These are the little things that Rex/Scott will teach the LB's (things to do BEFORE the Center snaps the ball and AFTER) we have in place so that they can become more efficient in their rushes, rather than just sending more men against the line, which results in leaving the secondary more vulnerable. This also goes along the same line what GJF was talking about. http://www.nfl.com/videos?videoId=09000d5d80bb04e5
The Jets were 7th in Sacks last year....doesn't sound to me like there's a problem in our pass rush department to begin with...
