CLEVELANDwantsPLAYOFFS Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 I do not recall one safety blitz sundays game, and I'm sure there were maybe a few corner blitzes but I don't recall any either. This being said, have we found a new defense with the 0-1 lineman on third and mid to long situations? I remember 2 plays where TJ Ward made a great read, jumping Drew's route and he dropped those two INTs, and Abe Elam dropped the easy pic on the first series. We also didn't get beat deep against a very above average receiving corp. Sunday's game showed promise for the upcoming Patriots game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did see one safety blitz and he blitzed from the safety position (aka not from the line). Drew saw it and completed the pass. I was mad. But I only saw one and I agree with everything you said. It was a lot of fun and very cool to see the defense hawk around and not show who's blitzing. Dropping the lineman was awesome too! Loved the play calling from all around.

Gips Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 Here is to hoping we can keep it up! The defense was just awesome and totally unpredictable, its proof to me that this regime is an ongoing project with much more creativity than i had given credit for on both sides of the ball... Daboll done a great job of scheming offensive management with our rookie colt as well... And colt looks like he could be something special, so disciplined and poised out there! I am looking forward to the second half of the season but man im looking much more forward to next years draft! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And It made TJ look like a big time ballhalk, which compliments his hard hitting/run stopping aspect of being a safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choco Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Kudos gips! U don't gotta chug the koolaide man but nice to see ya may come around. An effective rebuild should be showing signs around thus time....win or lose, competitive football is much better and easier to watch than being a doormat. These guys play hard, the wins will come with a few more pieces and experience. There's alot of new faces....once they gel watch the xxxx out!

Earl34 Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 There were no safety blitzes because Ward doesn't have it yet from the neck up and Elam doesn't have it from the neck down. Rob Ryan was probably reminded by Mangini that he isn't playing with Rex's players...he's playing with Browns players. The "UFO" defense with 0-1 down linemen was used by the Jets in 2007 and 2008 specifically against the Pats so I would imagine it came from the head coach.

SiperBowl Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 i dont care to much for the ufo defense; but it does come into play in certain situations that makes it work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawgTracker Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Isn't this the same scheme that was used to destroy pittsburgh last year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a good first down defense but the key on Sunday was we were winning first down on defense and putting them into obvious pass situations where it's invaluable. The way to beat it is to quick snap and run the ball. Don't want to get too cute with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
