....because it isn’t working.

Like bubble screens, they don’t work for us and yet we keep at them.

Why the Wide-9?

Why not a base 4-3?

I don’t see what it has to offer. Maybe another team runs it, and runs it well. But not us.

As I recall, Vance Joseph implemented it. And Burke kept it.

Seems like a bad idea. Sure looks like it, too.
 
The advantage of the wide 9 is that it allows offenses to score on 7 of 8 opportunities. Oh you meant the advantage for us?? There isn’t one, we’re either too stupid or too stubborn to change to something that might have a chance.
 
It doesn’t lead to inside trap runs that peel to the opposite gap...no wait....It doesn’t allow OL’s to set the edge for outside runs....no wait....
 
Watching the highlights the Kiko and the DB are crossed-up whenever the TE and WR would shift inside out.

Run plays the DE and Kiko would get crossed up, although to be fair to the DE, Kiko blocked himself of the play.
 
The Wide 9 is defensive concept that is predicated on the belief that once your offense has the lead that defense will be able to put more pressure on the opposing offense as they are put into more passing situations as they are trying to catch up. Unfortunately, we are rarely in a situation where the opposing offense is forced to pass and as you witnessed today, a good OC and QB can exploit the defense with runs because the splits allow well coached teams to run effectively against it. Also you have to have a DC that knows when to use it and when not to use it. Unfortunately, we have a moron running our defense and he runs it in the least effective moments of the game.:bang:
 
Been talking about this for some time. The defensive philosophy doesn’t match the reality of our team.
  • The scheme is predicated on playing with a lead so we can unleash a pass rush on teams needing to pass late in the game. We never seem to be playing from the lead.
  • Even when fully healthy on the DL, our rush is deficient.
  • The DEs must get upfield quickly but also hold the edge on the run. Our DEs don’t set the edge well or consistently.
  • The scheme requires the linebackers to attack assigned gaps, necessarily taking on blockers in the hole. None of our linebackers are ideal in this capacity.
  • We play at the back with 2 Strong Safeties
  • Burke continues to leave our linebackers exposed in coverage without ever showing offenses other looks. Why not try a dime look to make the QBs think a little bit. Right now, QBs are just picking matchups they like pre-snap.
 
well, they told us the defense was built to play with a lead......of course we never seem to have a lead
 
It creates highlight games for opposing offenses? It is named after Ron Jermey’s smaller brother? It gives us a better draft pick next season? It defeats Hope early in the season? It lets us see that gase, Burke and Grier can’t build a team or a scheme that the rest of the league can figure 6 weeks into the season?

Nah. That’d be the Wide-10.

But Jeremy’s WORKS.
 
Basically it all goes back to the defense being built to play with a lead except the offense isn’t built to get the defense a lead lol
