Mavric Posted October 4, 2021 Author Share Posted October 4, 2021 We haven't been really good at getting sacks or turnovers. About the only things lacking from the Blackshirts. Fordham and Buffalo did a really nice job getting the ball out quickly. Against Northwestern we didn't get home a lot but I do think we've gotten more pressure than the lack of sacks would indicate. 1 Quote Link to comment

Here, the LB (who should be committed to the QB) bites on the RB up the middle. It's a thing of beauty. I've mentioned it a couple of times, but Adrian is a damned natural at the option. 4 Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted October 4, 2021 Author Share Posted October 4, 2021 I don't think Northwestern was really great on the DL. That being said, if we can even be halfway between where we were previously and what we saw on Saturday, it'll be a huge difference. They did do a good job of getting Yant around the ankles.

Mavric Posted October 4, 2021 Author Share Posted October 4, 2021 Timing seemed just a bit off here. Or maybe just Betts still moving backwards when he caught it. I think if he cuts hard outside a couple steps earlier he might have found more room. Still like having this concept in the mix. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted October 4, 2021 Author Share Posted October 4, 2021 Man, there is a lot to defend here. Really nice play design. Play action to draw the linebackers up. Crisp throw over the top. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted October 4, 2021 Author Share Posted October 4, 2021 Nice job by the line creating just enough of a crease and Johnson runs hard to get the score. Quote Link to comment

Crisp throw over the top. How crazy is it seeing 6'4 and 6'3 fast receivers making plays! Throw in Betts and Martin, you could make the argument these guys have the potential to be the best receiver group ever. Additionally, Nixon looked super quick on his one catch. 1 Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted October 4, 2021 Author Share Posted October 4, 2021 Looks like we probably got caught trying to have Payne in coverage and it didn't work well. Nice job by Newsome chasing him down. I thought he was probably gone. 1 Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted October 4, 2021 Author Share Posted October 4, 2021 At first it didn't seem like much (because they were likely to score anyway). Then it seemed like a HUGE play (because it kept it a three-score game after the turnover). Then it didn't end up mattering a whole lot. But still a great job to keep them out. 1 Quote Link to comment

Gotta love that run- contact at the 31- Yant moved the pile to the 35. Drug that one tackler like a rag doll. Hope we see a lot more of that. Was nearly a 14 yard gain- what's not to like about that.

Mavric Posted October 4, 2021 Author Share Posted October 4, 2021 What a play by both guys. Not sure how you don't block the DT in A gap but we'll take it. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted October 4, 2021 Author Share Posted October 4, 2021 And he even got down at the end... Quote Link to comment
