Re-watch thread
At the 2:00 mark of the first quarter when Matt Wells dropped the pick....
We rushed 3 and dropped 8. USA had 6 men on the line plus a RB to block. We had CJ on the end, Ryan brown on the other end, and Preston in the middle. They doubled all 3 and then had the RB help with Brown....and both Preston AND Ryan nailed Bridge as he released it. Unreal.
Our D-Line is fine. We had tons of pressure on him in the 1st quarter alone.
The worst thing I've seen so far, is when we lined up Matt Wells on the slot on the same side as Calhoun. They would run Calhoun deep, and then have the slot go to the opposite of whichever way Wells was cheating...which was typically inside. This led to some wide open out routes about 7-10 yards downfield.
Side note: I know everybody says Calhoun is our best corner...but he allows WAY too much cushion IMO. And then to think he was beaten deep vs UAB, is shocking...because anybody giving that much cushion should never get beaten deep. Just an observation. I feel like we need to tell Calhoun to play tight and bump the WR's, and play with a safety over top of him. I still think Love and Redmond are our best cover corners. Calhoun is definitely a ball hawk though.
