I can get missed calls. I think defenses are at a disadvantage early in the season with no tape to study.
My issue is the player lineup. Tim Smith probably should have seen more time instead of Tilley. His whole schict is run defense. Tilley was a liability out there. Carlisle instead of another LB, Haulcy instead of Wohler. They could have beefed up the middle with some changes.
Also if Walley is getting killed on crossing tours by Flowers move to a robber scheme to shut it down.
Overall it was an interesting weekend. Defenses were forced out of cover 2 and 3 schemes this weekend. Only like 11% was played when last couple years you would see up to 30-40% and it was team’s primary scheme. Offenses are changing. More running to counteract the deep safeties. The ravens used a lot of 12 man and 13 groupings meaning 2-3 TEs on the field at a time. Teams were using fullbacks. FULLBACKS! Never thought I would see them being used again. League is constantly changing and defenses have to adjust.
