likeriver Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 (edited) I know it's preseason. I don't expect defense to be making these plays in the Regular season, but I think it shows a big improvement. Either that, or Mariota is 100% garbage Edited August 14, 2015 by likeriver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy5prings Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Mariota ain't the one blocking, is he? The D-Line and the LBs look fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

likeriver Posted August 14, 2015 Author Share Posted August 14, 2015 Yeah, our D is tight!At least starting D was. 3rd string scrubs looking a little weak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokerSteve Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Starting D completely overwhelmed the Titan offensive unit. It was like watching boys trying to play against men. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazoo Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Maybe coaching and scheme does make a difference?Tyson Jackson has more sacks in the 1st quarter of preseason than he did all last year in regular season. Worrilow has more TDs in the 1st quarter of preason than he had all last regular season. Babs has more forced fumbles in the 1st quarter of preseason than he had all last season. Tyson Jackosn looks much quicker now that coaches asked him to lose weight. , Worrilow being able to attack is right there near the fumbled ball to pick it up and score a TD, Babs back to his original position and being told to attack the ball gets a forced fumble. All these players were on the roster last year......hmmmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xiv_T_E_C_O_ Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 It may be preseason, but it feels good to see the first team D come out and have a good showing... Unlike last year vs. the dolphins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFatboi Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 LOL, I was thinking of you when I posted that! What a thing of absolute beauty to watch that pocket collapse with Soliai overwhelming the OL! I'm not sure if I saw him do that last season.It was rare to see him do it. He and jackson were both playing the wrong gaps and weren't asked to collapse the pocket. A lot of guys didn't get that. They think dline and that's what his job is but in that scheme it wasn't his job. I've never liked a passive defense. Always loved an aggressive attacking defense. My thinking is if we're gonna die...Die Hard!! I hated us losing soft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thinking is if we're gonna die...Die Hard!! I hated us losing soft.We have some pretty compelling data from this game to support our contention that the personnel was improperly utilized last year. In one quarter of preseason, several players remaining from last year have looked much better. Heck, Toilolo looks like he's taken to the hands on coaching approach. This should be a fun week on the boards! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
