I got the sense Kyle was miffed about Cohn using stats to backup his point and not what actually happened.

Bingo!
Kawann Short blew that the hell up. Bench pressed Kilgore right into Carlos.

99 and 98 for the Panthers might be the best 1/3 tandem in the NFL. Absolute beasts.

That was Short killing the play by shoving the lineman right into the path of the RB. Dude is a beast.


That play was drawn up pretty much perfectly but the OL got manhandled.



On the positive side, plays like that should result in huge gains against teams with less dominant front lines.

Teams with less dominant front lines? We stopped putting those on the schedule years ago.
Thl What did you see with regard to defensive fundamentals -- tackling, playing with leverage, staying home, penalties?

Good to hear a reasonable and knowledged mind keeping it real.

This is you vs the 49ers bashful.

I love how chicken littles constantly claim that they're just being "rational" and "realistic" to justify their chicken little-ism.

Thl might be more rational and realistic than anyone else on here.

They eye in the sky doesn't lie and the All22's show everything.

Besides the talent improvement from not having to play Skov, Bellore, and Purcell, there's also the simplified gap assignments in Saleh's defense. There was an article about Jim ONiel containing testimony from CLE players explaining that the run fits in that JoN CLE defense was incredibly complicated. It required the LBs to read what the DL was doing and react off of the DL. Basically they were exchanging gaps on the fly.

I can only guess what they were asked to do. My guess is if the OL blocked the DL into or out of a gap, the LB would have to read that and replace the gap that the DL got moved out of. In a perfect world, and on the whiteboard, maybe this is a great run defense scheme, but when an entire play lasts a total of 2-3 seconds, that is way too many mental decisions to make when a split second can mean the difference between meeting a lead blocker in the hole, or allowing that lead blocker to get 2 yards beyond the hole.

Here's a snippet from that article:
https://www.si.com/thecauldron/2015/10/21/mike-pettine-cleveland-browns-defense-problems-afc-north
Rather than being assigned specific gaps, Cleveland's defensive linemen play different techniques based on how their offensive counterparts are blocking them. The linebackers, then, are expected to guess what technique their teammates are using, scrape through the resulting mess and make the play.
"It's an entire guessing game," said one source. "Imagine trying to define mud."

well s**t, no wonder. what was an example of Fangio's?

Cause he (Bow) only played in 3 and a half games last year?

no.

This is what Kyle had to say about the outside zone run in this game:
"We did have an outside zone one that I thought we had everyone blocked and we just tripped going through the line. If we would have hit that one, it would have been a 30 yarder and then we would have really messed up your outside zone stats because the one we got would have been a gash, we just tripped. All the others weren't good ones. So, it looks like you're averaging .5 on the outside zones and it's just one play that changes it all for stats."

Pretty sure this is the play Kyle is referring to (near end of 2nd quarter):
1st & 10

I think Hyde just made too quick a decision there. A quicker back would do exactly as Hyde did, but cut back as soon as he saw the defense have outside leverage. Or conversely set that up with a quick strong step to the outside and help get his linemen inside leverage and cut back. Just my opinion. I think Hyde is 50% at fault as was the O Lineman at fault for being blown off the Line.

Well Tartt missed a tackle I thought he, or any safety should make, and it led to a TD. I don't pay much attention to those small details. It's hard to process all that in the limited time that I watch the tape. I'm mostly looking at plays on a whole - routes vs coverage, or fronts versus run blocking. Rashard Robinson was not put into a spot where he was forced to make an open field tackle. That's something to watch this season. A linemen playing with leverage isn't something I focus on unless it was a part of a great/bad play. Sorry, wish I had a better answer.

From what I understand, Fangio's was a fairly straight forward two gapping scheme. The two DEs and the NT each had 2 gaps, freeing up the two ILBs. The OLBs were the edge setters if there was a TE to their side.
