Sensabaugh’s Versatility Has Big Value

What. The. ****.

 

[Deuce511]

He looked like a different player the last two years though.

Sometimes it takes guys a few years.

Understood. And he definitely could have just been a late bloomer...but that was under someone else. When asked to do what he'll need to do under Ryan, he sucked. He just might not be a fit for the way he does things. I would hope he'll talk Jerry out of any signing if he thinks this.

Nick Eatman has very low standards or completely doesn't understand how the game of football is supposed to be played.

 

[Sheik]

Then who will stare at the WR's hands as the ball comes whizzing by his helmet?

lol

Good question.

 

[RoyTheHammer]

Sensabaugh is pretty versatile guys. He can suck equally at either safety spot.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

How can a guy who can't tackle be called versatile??

 

[Texas Ace]

Fat Rob might have to tailor his scheme to the roster and use Scandrick as his blitz guy. He's got a knack for it.

Yes he does.

You know what's sad, though? He is our best blitzer, period. A CB blitzes better than any LB or safety on this team.

Everyone else runs right into someone and gets stonewalled.

It didn't help any that Stevie Wonder was able to recognize Sta Puft's blitz packages.

Too many opposing OL and QB's were able to say,"oh yeah,we saw this on film"and call out protections.

Ryan's multiple sets & packages should help some of that.

Sensi played well two out of the last three seasons, and statistically he wasn't as bad last year as many think.

Replace Ball with even an average safety and the pass defense will improve– a lot.

 

[Bonecrusher#31]

Why is everyone in love with Huff? Cause he was a Longhorn?

All I remember of the guy is he's the same safety Rex Ryan benched his last year as DC in Oakland.

I hated watching the NFL Net Replay of the Raiders/Texans game a month ago.

He looked like a bad Alan Ball(the only kind,I know) he was getting killed on running plays and passing. He was mic'd up and they replayed/highlighted all of his bad angle, miss tackles, bad reads and lack of effort plays.

You can't judge a player on one game so hopefully it was an aberration if we acquire him.

Im sure it would be real juicy television to show the plays where he covered his area effectively and forced the QB to checkdown

Really ?

When they mic you up they are hoping you make plays(at least one, he didn't) so the viewers can observe you and your teammate's reactions.

At least that's the protocol on the NFL Network replays.

 

[marionbarberthe4th]

Thye need an angle one way or another.

Unless he had a Patrick Peterson God-like pick 6 they were going to go negative. They arent going to get viewers by showing him be in the right areas in coverage and forcing checkdowns.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

username, you should change your screenname to bob sacamano jr.

 

[marionbarberthe4th]

There are probably a few of those running around after all the cousin raping

So you know.

 

[LAZARUS_LOGAN]

Hes a loser. Give that money to Huff and start Deunta or Church at SS

I'd rather go with Mark LeGree.

 

[Midswat]

AOA likely ends up back at corner.

This is definitely true, but at some point we're going to need guys that are just good at blitzing. We can't always rely on the scheme to get them through the LOS.

Wade's blitzes looked ok to me in 2008 and 2009, but the film caught up to him in 2010. While his blitzes did prove to be predictable, the players shouldn't be held without blame.

Just look at Pittsburgh, for example. They've had the same DC and same system in place forever now, but yet the film hasn't caught up with them.

Why is that? Because their ILB's and safeties have always been solid blitzers. Just look at Polomalu, that guy almost never gets stonewalled. Whether he's coming from the corner or shooting through the line, he's almost a guarantee to cause havoc.

We need to find guys who don't need to always depend on smoke and mirrors to cause pressure.

Good post, TA.
