He does it how I was coached to do it. Grab the pads on the inside where the numbers are and drive them. Didn't watch the whole thing but there was a questionable one where he had Clowney by the shoulder and kept him from pursuing. [Reply]

Bob Sutton's defense took down opposing signal-callers on 7.4 percent of their pass plays and pressured them 31.1 percent of the time. Kansas City also has done this with the league's ninth-lowest blitz rate, so it is getting home without sending extra rushers.

Thanks man. I thought the amount of attempts might have skewed it. Guess not lol. They did pass the eye test as far as QB pressure is concerned though.

Dee Ford was insanity this year. I don’t think people here appreciate it as much as they should.
Justin Houston gets hated on by everyone as well but I don’t think a darling like Melvin Ingram was any more productive this season.

That Oline is going to need to step up to overcome Luck being so slow footed. He looks like Herman Munster out of the pocket. [Reply]

Luck is going to get hit so hard this weekend he will have to grab his pad- Maxi pad that is. [Reply]

My take is that if he were in the boot strictly with the goal of taking the most precautionary measures (i.e., "we don't want your foot anywhere near the ground"), it's not as farfetched that he could be ready this weekend.
It sounds enough like Joey Bosa's injury to lead me to conclude that Watkins won't play on Saturday. [Reply]
