How many times was it 3rd and under 5 but we see hour whole secondary beyond the LOS. He took down and distance to the conservative extreme. It came to a point where you could predict when we would blitz AS A FAN. One thing about Zimmer he was a master at knowing when to sneak a safety blitz in on a drive and ALOT of them got sacks. Gunther could make the Seahawks defense look trash I swear bro.
I will say Burfict helped the cause of getting guys in the right position GREATLY. Flat out we were a different defense with Burfict in. I hope no one forgets that. So him and Minter together is gonna be fun to watch because that's 2 guys who take pride in knowing the playbook in and out AND have the ability to make every tackle or play on the field. Not many teams have a football IQ advantage over us in the linebacking core. Now its a matter of getting the d line solid again like back in the day. Because I trust our secondary to at least not give up big plays
That was definately the case early in the year but after the bye Guenther got it cleaned up for the most part.
Burfict finally getting fit and back in there definately helped.
It is not like Paulie G can't coach a fine game, he can, we have seen it a few times and it was genius.
The Peyton Manning Bronco game a few years back was amazing. I think Paulie is a good coach myself.
Zim was just on another planet. Best DC in the game at the time.
Kind of unfair to compare the two.
But like you said, we add an End like Derek Barnett to Atkins, Billings and Dunlap and this Defense could be great.
