How Bad Was The Detroit Pressure?

[So Be]

Detroit had 4 sacks, 6 hits, and 21 hurries. I took a look at all games from last year and this year. This was the most total pressure any team had in any game over that span. There were more sacks but, not more total pressures. Hard to believe.

Tannehill was sacked 3 times...and I thought he got hit a lot more than that. Seemed after every pass play someone was picking him up off the ground.

The pressure was given up was terrible and is the #1 reason we lost. I just started a thread about it. I think this team is 7-2 with better guards. Lazor can't open up the entire playbook because he doesn't trust the oline to hold up long enough for 5-7 step drops so he's forced to call a bunch of quick passes, screens, QB rollouts and whatever you call that play where a WR comes running around the formation to the flats. He called one Deep route that was actually thrown. That's not by chance. That's because he doesn't trust the oline to hold up long enough consistently.

And yet Tannehill made the plays to get us a victory. If Clay just held on to the damn ball, we'd be flying high right now.

It's not going to be much better this week. We have to hope that the QB does a good job of buying time or getting rid of the ball again this week.

Agree. If we are going to win this one its going to be an ugly win. Lazor is going to have to scheme this one beautifully to keep Tannehill upright. They are going to be forced to leave James on an island at LT against a very good edge rusher in Hughes…we just have to hope he can hold his own.

I don't know how we're going to score points and I don't understand how anyone is optimistic about this game by any reasoning other than "we're due, we play Buffalo better at home, and the Bills don't seem good enough to win 4 in a row against us."

Because the matchups say we'll be lucky to score 16 points again this week.

I was there live and it seemed like the were consistently hurrying us. Don't get me wrong, at times there was a good pocket/running lanes but not the norm..

Also, maybe it's different in person but it was loud as hell in there. I wonder how much the crowd noise hurt us

I agree about the oline. Without time to throw, we are playing Fiedler ball for those in here old enough to remember.
The deep field is gone and the defense stacks the box.

There just may be a reason all the big time coaches/experts say, "the game is won in the trenches." Fancy that.

Once we adjusted and went to screens, used Wallace out of the backfield, quick passes etc we moved the ball.
Lets hope we don't start the game Thursday pretending we can handle the Bills up front.

Suh destroyed the interior line on every play, to the point he was double and triple teamed.

Tannehill got blasted on nearly every pass play.

Yet, we still came within one play of a win.

On the positive side- No Spiller, and their qb is Kyle Orton, and the Bills are good at Dolphining (finding ways to lose close games)

Fins win and keep our hope alive! Only to squash our hopes later in the season

Yet this is widely overlooked. He was 71% completions on 40% pressure (lowest count, some show higher). Took some crushing hits, took 3 injuries, yet finished the game. The kid is damn tough, and is still growing in this system. He's much further than he was at the beginning of the season. Compare his day in week 2 to this game and his improvement is clear.

That said, if Lazor can figure out a way to mitigate their line, we'll be looking strong. Our STs are playing better than that game as well, and the defense is solid. Oline play will be the decider in this game, no doubt.

Need a good game plan that assumes RT will have very little time in the pocket. Especially in the first half when being tired isn't a factor.
