If we run zone concepts, no blitzes, with Ward MEG'd on ARob every down, I'll be happy as a clam.
In coverage, I'm really going to be looking at:
- How Denzel Ward is used, and how he plays. Scheme and execution have been lacking
- How players (specifically Darnell Mooney) are passed off from the second level to the third level. I've seen a little too much of players getting behind our safeties, like Cooks last week.
- How our secondary keeps their eyes on the QB while playing zone defense. We're going to need to beat Lamar Jackson and Patrick Mahomes. Better learn those concepts now.
- What our linebackers do in coverage, specifically against Cole Kmet
After that, then I'll look at pressure and if we see a little more of the JOK or Delpit blitzes. But, to me, coverage is the primary concern right now.
