Blache's Defensive Scheme

[over the mountain]

questions i have about our D that I havent found answers too:

1 - are our corners playing man, zone or a mix depending on the play call?

From the replays i saw from the giants game it looks like alot of man coverage, and poor man coverage at that as smoot was getting turned around or lead to far down field off his player. smoots days as being a good man cover cb might be fading.

2 - are the linebackers blitzing?

I saw the occassional linebacker blitz in passing downs but nothing aggressive. On clear passing plays it looked like the giants had no prob stopping our 4 man rush as we dropped back into max coverage.

3 - are the safeties playing a true cover 2?

looks this way to me except for the one time landry came up to the line of scrimmage and got his .5 sack with andre. I like the cover 2 and think it fits well with our safeties.

can someone please explain to me what we are running on D? straight up man with an occasional extra man blitz, go soft cover rush 4 on passing plays? after double G i am not used to seeing such base scemes.

go skins!!
