Did we give up any passing TDs? Did we give up any down field splash plays?

My take is not to "give them the free catch", my take is that when the QB diagnosis correctly, and the catch is made, be in position to tackle. Contrary to your press beliefs, the opponent is going to catch passes.

Disrupting timing is a skill. Being able to press and leverage a WR off his route is a skill. These are not skills Gay/Cockrell possess at a level commensurate with winning a matchup with AJ Green.

Everytime they lose that press matchup off the line, Green is immediately open within less than a second of the snap, with plenty of YAC to the safety.... . You aren't giving your defense time to "get there", every time you lose that press you are taking time AWAY from your front/blitz. In Off Man and Zone, AJ has to eat up the yardage first, giving the front time. If the route is designed short, you tackle the catch.

If/When Artie and/or Sean are ready for a full complement of the playbook, and prove their abilities, we can talk about press as a core component of our scheme. But with Gay/Cockrell out there, we will play to their strengths.

There's a reason we will see very little press Sunday, it's because Tomlin/Butler know what they are doing.

Good example of mixing Man and Zone last week:

Great link, good breakdown in there. Hope Shazier is ok, he allows Butler a lot of flexibility.
