Rush, attack & make QB uncomfortable!

Jan 17, 2025, 4:38 PM

Exactly what has happened often to Cade in 2023 (being made uncomfortable)..

and again in 2024 but to a much lesser extent due to his maturity and field presence..

But remember in last game in DV where Coots rushed him on last play with seconds left, he felt uncomfortable & took off from a decent pocket, ran to right and tried to advance ball with a rushed off-balance throw (instead of going out of bounds to save clock for one more shot into the end-zone)..

But he threw an INT which ended game b/4 a possible FG to tie game could be attempted and go into an OT.

Saying, Tom is no D genius when he mentions this aggressiveness against a QB but he adheres to this rush & harass tactic for his D..

Which Venables adhered to with zesto but Wes did not as often.

Saying..Tom, his philosophy and aggressive D will be a welcomed sight in 2025!
