Defense film review of Makati Red Robins
Key stats:
Rush Defense - 21
Pass Defense - 18
Last game notes:
Lost to the "Johor Bahru Beach Bums" (6 - 9)
Didn't let in a TD.
I just watched the first half before realising the opposition QB's were so bad it made the Robins pass D look half good and watching the 2nd half wouldn't have told me much more (and since the game is only about an hour away). Yet the opposition QB was only "hurried" their QB once!
They played a lot of man coverage (approx 80%) of the time, sent the blitz only about 20% of the time which reflected them not getting near the QB. They spent much time worrying about the pass yet still weren't very good at it.
In the running game they defended well inside and only really let up yardage when the opposition ran to the outside. But they have good LB's which made running up the middle pretty hard even when the LB's were backing off for the pass (which was often).
Sorry for the lax report and I didn't have time to look at any other games, which probably would have told me much more (ie: how a team actually scored TD's on them) but only just realised I am the film coach.
But I'd say what I learnt from their last game.. they have a high "run-inside" defense % imo so we should be aware of that and limit how much we run inside. They dont blitz much and even when they do dont get to the QB often. They play a fair amount of man coverage and must have a high % of "defend long".
Look to pass more often than we did last week, run outside more (imo our run inside % is too high going on their last weeks great defense inside and decent LB's) and look to exploit their weak FS and SS and man coverage in throwing mid-long passes. Since their LB's drop back a fair bit for the pass be wary of short passes.
But all thats for the offense to think about. I'm probably too late with this anyway.
Much clearer, less rushed report hopefully coming next time.
