USABomberfan Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 Well, obviously tonight was a bit more of a downfall than usual, D has been rough, and obviously tonight they just didn't feel like tackling. I don't see it being that bad every week from here on, but obviously we need to make adjustments to shut the Esks down. Biggest one is making sure Reilly pays a price for running with the ball. Have Teague Sherman waiting right there so when he takes off running Teague hammers him. Take him out and the Esks offense will struggle. Or at least keep him in the pocket where he will be less comfortable and maybe hit around a little. Then maybe send bucknor on blitzes to take out John White on running plays. Either way, no more backing off receivers, go play press coverage on them and make them get open instead of letting QBs play Crowton checkdown on us.

dmillerywg Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 The way Teague tackled tonight I wouldn't have him shadow anyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Perfect Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 Unless Teague is blitzing the QB, he is useless on defence. DR. CFL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17to85 Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 They way he played last night the only place Sherman should be headed is the bench. Jigger the ratio so we can play Sears in that spot again please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark H. Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 Sure, let's watch Sherman tackle some more air... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomic Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 They way he played last night the only place Sherman should be headed is the bench. Jigger the ratio so we can play Sears in that spot again please. The problem is... how? What Canadian do we have that we can start in place of an American? I guess you could figure something out like move Morley to RG and start Goossen but I don't know.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the OL is going to get beaten anyway play less americans there, take Romby Bryant out for a NI (though if moore is back that's less of an option) There will be ways to do it, but we see last night why Sherman should still be a backup.

ddanger Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 Teague is a good kid, but he's not fast enough, and he's seriously struggling with his tackling. Last night was a prime example of that, he was brutal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPuDS Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 Sherman has had good games and bad... I thought more good then bad.. The problem is when he is good, its not great, its just.adequate and when he is bad, he is a liability.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigseye Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 Maybe if our linebackers actually played like linebackers instead of dlinemen or dbacks, they'd actually be better off for it. Fatty Liver 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracker Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 I think this has been posed before, but could our shoddy tackling be explained by instructions from Etch to go for the strip rather than wrapping up the player with the ball?

pigseye Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 Would Eliminians 130 tackles this season help our team in that regard, I think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I understand it Etch does not emphasize fundamentals like tackling, he's more into the overall schematic and believes players should have the fundamentals down pat by this point in their career. Doesn't look like a football player, he looks more like like a pharmacist. Did he ever play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goalie Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Etcheverry He's been coaching longer than i've been alive. Obviously he has some talent to last that long. SPuDS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
