Things To Watch; Bears vs Broncos

[sevvy]

I'm really interested to see how the defense reacts to Osweiler(sp?). Do we amp up the pressure? Do we amp up the coverage and hope that his inexperience makes him self-destruct?

And I'm really interested to see how Adam Gase will work a gameplan to help Cutler and Langford get some early success, and how we adjust to how Denver's D adjusts. Adjusting to the adjustments, man!

In my mind, this is going to be the most Chess-like game we've played. Ultimately it's on the players to perform, but I'm really interested to see what our coaches do, and how they adjust.

They word of the day is... "adjust"

Fun fact: Not only is this going to be Jay Cutler's first time playing against the Denver Broncos...after this game he will have played against all 32 NFL teams.

EDIT: As in regular season play.

I'm sure the Bears will send some blitzes but I doubt Denver will be surprised by this. They'll move him out of the pocket, work the screen game, short routes etc.

Good point. I heard Brock looked good last week when he took over for Manning. Hopefully he sucks.

Gonna be nice to see the Bears back at Chicago. Last weeks game was nice but I fucking hate domes so much.

Soldier Field will go nuts with a Bears win. 5-5, bitches.

I'm just glad Brock got some time for tape.

 

[Chicago Staleys]

Good job Mongo!

To add, This is Cutler's first career game against Denver so Im sure he may have a little chip on the should as Fox will.

There's no real stat that indicates how often defensive players are running loose in our back-field, but these two highlight how good we've been.

...

As of right now, Pernell McPhee is still listed as questionable... he is leading the team in sacks and pressures.

How is it we have a stat that tells how many times McPhee could generate pressure, but no stat for how many times Cutler's been pressured?

First, my comment wasn't about Jay. It was about the play of the line. Second, who said there wasn't a stat that indicates QB pressures? My comment doesn't even discuss "pressures".

There is no "running loose in the backfield" stat.

If there was, I think it would have to sum: RB TFL's, Missed TFL's, sacks, hits and hurries.

You know a place that has that stat?

I always wondered. When an offense sets up a screen where they let the pass rush through to the QB to set them up for the screen... does that count as a pressure?

A pressure or hurry generally only counts statistically if the QB has to throw the ball earlier than he wants to or has to move around to avoid a sack.

They have Thomas and Sanders but haven't been able to effectively go over the top this year, wasting a big part of their skill set. If we start blitzing, they are going to try to take advantage of those one on ones. I think Osweiler will get to sink or swim. We'll need to pick our spots and I expect the Broncos to try and take advantage of a stronger arm which could go good or bad for them.

BroncosBud is doing a bang up job. Way smarter than most Broncos fans.

I think you blitz their offensive line with a bunch of zone cover 3 variations with a little cover 1 sprinkled in. Blitzing and dropping 8 will keep them off balanced. Also a spy ILB on run downs will help against the play action and rollouts.

They'll pick their spots to add pressure but don't expect jail breaks on normal down and distances. Last I checked, there's only 11 players.

I think that Long needs to talk Von Miller into coming to Chicago next year
