The Oracle
In the last preseason games, Cam Wake has been playing strongside OLB and Jason Taylor (and Koa Misi) is playing weakside OLB which is the blitzing side.
This is why Cam Wake was doing so much coverage against the Bucs.
In out 4 DL Dine and Nickel, we are using (from left to right) C Wake, P Merling, J Odrick and J Taylor.
As good as Cam Wake is against LTs, he is known to kill RTs. That four man rush has been very good. We are also running a number of twists both from a 3-4 and 4 DL line.
95% of the time it is the same move. the DT/DE pushes to the right and then Jason Taylor quickly steps to the left and runs straight up the middle. One reason this is looking good is because J Taylor is a speed rusher and the LT playing against him makes a step back and left on the snap of the ball.
So far Jason Taylor is often unblocked because the LT cannot shift over in time.
This is a example of some things I think Nolan is doing. He has not only put players in their natural positions, he has plays to make the best of what they do.
That is why Jason Taylor is now playing weakside OLB and RE. Because he has been a All Pro doing it.
Our four man rush the use of Wake and Taylor on the outsides and then Merling and Odrick as fast pass rushing DTs reminds me some of what the Giants did against the Patriots is their superbowl.
On the play where QB Josh Freeman runs for good yards but was brought back due to a holding penalty, Paul Soliai pushed the Buc center back into the QB. That is when the hold happened. To stop Soliai from sacking QB Freeman, their center grabbed Soliai from behind.
We have one of the best DL rotations we have ever had.
