Week 2 vs the Seahawks Most of us had a feeling | Forum

Bears pass rush would take it to the Seahawks offensive line http://www.thebearslockerroom.com/authentic-mike-singletary-jersey , and we were correct. The Bears had a whopping 6 sacks on the evening, with a number of other pressures as well. This was as dominant of a defensive performance as we have seen since the Lovie Smith administration. One of the most impressive things about the pass rush to this point, is that 3 of the sacks were of the much sought after strip-sack variety. Let’s get to the fun, shall we?Week 2 vs the SeahawksSack 1 - First quarter 11:24 (3rd & 2) - Aaron LynchWhile Aaron Lynch gets the credit for the sack, this play was made possible by the slot blitz call by Vic Fangio. Fangio sends slot cornerback Bryce Callahan on a blitz, which forces Russell Wilson to step up into the pocket and the waiting arms of Lynch. Another thing to notice is that Akiem Hicks and Lynch run a tackle/end twist. Hicks rushes to the outside and Lynch loops around to the inside. This very well may have ended up as a sack anyway, but I am going to give half the credit to Callahan here. Sack 2 - Second quarter 13:25 (2nd & 15) - Eddie GoldmanNewly minted nose tackle Eddie Goldman gets in on the action as well. Goldman uses a bull rush to push the center straight into Wilson’s lap. This is as good of a job as you will find of having 2 speed rushers pinning the edges in, while the pushing the pocket up the middle. Hard to not split this with either Mack or Leonard Floyd, but I am going to give this one to Goldman. Sack 3 - Second quarter 8:54 (1st & 10) - Eddie JacksonHere is a perfect example of a “team sack.” Eddie Jackson gets on the score sheet with this sack, but he wasn’t even rushing Wilson on this play Womens Dick Butkus Jersey , not until the very end anyway. Let’s just talk about the play we see in this clip for a second. Mack is left unblocked on the naked bootleg, but instead of crashing down and giving Wilson room to breath, Mack reads the play and gets upfield. Jonathan Bullard also does a fantastic job of covering the tight end that streaks across, negating any outlet. Both Hicks and Goldman beat their man as well. The only reason this gets to Jackson is because Mack gets to Wilson quickly, Hicks takes out Mack, while Goldman trips over Mack/Hicks. Each had a great shot and all deserve credit, but this was a true team effort. Sack 4 - Second quarter 7:21 (3rd & 17) - Khalil MackHoo boy! Talk about an incredible individual effort. Mack gets a wide chip from the tight end before getting a running start at right tackle Germain Ifedi. Mack goes with the bull rush to and outside move, but Ifedi pushes Mack wide. On a second effort—while being blocked by Ifedi—Mack reaches out and knocks the ball out of Wilson’s hand. Sack 5 - Second quarter 1:01 (1st & 10) - Danny TrevathanPoor CJ Prosise, he simply had no chance here. Danny Trevathan gets into his body and just puts him on skates. Once Trevathan senses he is close enough to get the sack, he discards Procise and brings down Wilson. It looked as though Wilson actually trips or goes down on his own William Perry Jersey , but Trevathan had him dead to rights. Note: At the bottom of the screen, Mack is doing his thing. This is one of his signature moves, so keep an eye out for this strange-looking technique as the season goes on. Sack 6 - Fourth quarter 4:40 (2nd & 6) - Danny TrevathanThis is our first SINO (Sacks in Name Only) sack of the season. Trevathan gets stood up on his initial rush and it isn’t until Wilson takes off, that Trevathan has an opening to make this play. The other consideration here is that Wilson is winding up to throw when Trevathan knocks the ball out, then afterwards, he goes in for the tackle. The end result was great, but I am hard pressed to give this sack to Trevathan. Pressure of the WeekThird quarter 6:24 (3rd & 10) -Khalil MackThis is one of my favorite plays of the game on defense. Mack takes the inside route and is in Wilson’s face almost immediately, which forces a very premature throw from Wilson. Lynch gets punched pretty hard and almost looks stunned afterwards, but that ended up being a blessing in disguise as Lynch recognizes the screen and plays it perfectly. Note: Keep an eye on Roy Robertson-Harris at the top of the screen. He beats his man quickly (keep in mind it’s a screen pass) and chases this play down from behind. Impressive effort from the big man!Here’s how I have the individual* Rush Report after week 1.Khalil Mack - 2Akiem Hicks - 1Roy Robertson-Harris - 1Roquan Smith - 1Eddie Goldman - 1Danny Trevathan - 1Team Sacks - 1SINO - 1Aaron Lynch - 0.5Bryce Callahan - 0.5*These numbers do not reflect a players official statistics. With six jobs filled and two more tentatively earmarked for folks other than Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy, why didn’t Bieniemy get one of the eight open spots in the current cycle?A strong argument could be made for Bieniemy. He’s in the spot that has produced Eagles coach Doug Pederson and Bears coach Matt Nagy http://www.thebearslockerroom.com/authentic-mike-ditka-jersey , both of whom have quickly become great head coaches. The Chiefs offense found a higher level this year, in Bieniemy’s first season as the O.C.“I think the biggest difference is the mentality,鈥?Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce said on the #PFTPM podcast in late September regarding the transition from Nagy to Bieniemy. 鈥淐oach Bieniemy brings a fierce, aggressive mentality to the offense. Kind of a gritty, punch-you-in-the-mouth-type of mindset, and I think that has rubbed off on everybody, from Pat [Mahomes] throwing the ball aggressively down field. The play calling is a little bit more aggressive and, sure enough, everybody getting the ball has been a north runner. There鈥檚 not too much running sideways. Everybody鈥檚 getting downhill trying to finish the plays in the end zone.鈥漈he problem is that Bieniemy doesn’t call plays. Then again, Nagy only called plays for half of a season in 2017 Womens Richard Dent Jersey , a season that saw the offense sputter after a strong start to the season.The explanation could be more about the pursuit of quarterback whisperers, and Bieniemy’s lack of background in that area.“I think the big thing is teams are looking for quarterback guys,” one league source opined to PFT. “Matt, Doug are both former quarterbacks and former quarterback coaches.” Bieniemy isn’t.There’s still a belief in Kansas City that Bieniemy will become a great coach someday. For now, the Chiefs benefit. Then again, they likely benefit either way; they’ve done a great job filling the pipeline with more great offensive coordinators, as their offensive coordinators become great coaches.
