FANATIC 852 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Interesting note from a Donkey Site If getting pressure on the QB is the goal, then the Broncos over-delivered on expectations that were already high. With new defensive coordinator Wade Phillips blitzing on 74% of plays, Denver pressured Joe Flacco on 22 of his 34 dropbacks (or 65% of the time he wanted to throw). To put that in context, the NFL average last year was 34%, and the most pressured quarterback in football was Russell Wilson at 46%. Of those 22 snaps under duress on Sunday, Flacco was sacked twice, completed just 10 passes for 65 yards and threw an interception. This gave him a passer rating of 36.5 when pressured. 74% blitzing. Amazing Baltimore could not adjust? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing Baltimore could not adjust? They don't have Jamal Charles and Travis Kelce. They lost their best TE Owen Daniels, and two speed wide-outs in Torrey Smith and Jacoby Jones. We may be respecting Denver's D more than needed. I think the Chiefs offense puts it to them Thursday night @ AH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dhitter 1,424 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Screen Game will be powerful....w If executed properly...I agree. Watching the Denver game on Game Pass I noticed their penchant to over pursue. Misdirections, counters, screens...sounds like Andy's cup of tea.
