the new espn magazine has some nice things to say about our acquistions of edwards...
Muck said:Was that Pat Surtain or Sam Madison covering Troy Brown on the 82-yard bomb?? Are the safeties not responsible for deep coverage?? Do we not play zones?? Do the other teams' top receivers always line up outside?? What about the Tennessee game in which Pat Surtain didn't play in?? Does that count too??
There's a lot more to it than just lining up your top CBs on their top WRs and letting them go 1-on-1 all day, all over the field. Just doesn't happen.
But when it came down to it, they couldn't score. Kinda like Buffalo's old 'Bend-But-Don't-Break' defense. And nobody could run on us. Didn't give up a single 100-yard rusher this year. Also, we were 9th in passing attempts (passes we faced). 530 attempts - 12 TDs.
IMO you're reading far too much into the stats. :)
Of course he will. He and Rick are just playing the old "take what I can get" game, but he will be there.Ohiophinphan said:No one has mentioned what I think is the most important future consideration for our 2004 pass defense...............does Wale re-sign! Pass defense is not just about the cover guys but also about how long they are required to cover. Having Taylor and Wale rushing a QB and hurrying his throws is a key component to our overall pass defense.
