Skins vs Bears postgame

[calia]

Honestly, the safety play has been atrocious all around, and with Fletcher losing a step (it truly pains me to say so as I love the guy), the middle of the field is to be had. And teams have expolited that -- Chicago seemed to work the middle of the field very effectively (think of the Forte 50 yard scamper and the TD pass to Williams). No play up front or even with the CBs (which has been solid) can change that.

Bad.

Jenkins will start now I guess, with Golston on the other end.

Defense is getting thin but I don't think it makes a difference at this point, they were already too bad to repair.

I really hope Doughty makes it back this week though.

Maybe since we're deep at LB, we should consider moving Kerrigan or Orakpo to DE, preferably 'Rak. I know they've only been 4-3 DEs but they're not getting sacks in this scheme, so we're wasting them. These guys are made to punish QBs and we should put them in whatever position helps them do that.

I'd start:

Jenkins - Cofield - Orakpo

Kerrigan - Fletcher - Riley - Jackson

Hall - Amerson at CB

Doughty - Wilson at S



or go all out after QBs:

Kerrigan - Cofield - Orakpo

Jackson - Fletcher - Riley - Jenkins

Hall - Amerson at CB

Doughty - Wilson at S



Think how scary it would be to have Orakpo and Kerrigan lining up on both ends to come after your QB every play.

I think we call that our base defense.

It's not working. Time to change things up if you want to wear these colors ever again, Jim.

I really like your idea!

Surprise the Broncos and get your best players on the field.

Orakpo vs. an OG all day long could be sweet.

Jackson is starter material and he's better than Orakpo in pass coverage.

Orakpo and Jackson both coming off the right side. Nice.

Starting the veteran Wilson at S could help a lot.

I really hope Reed Doughty can go.

If you read the link, you would see that Bowen is still expected to play in Denver.

And Rak is too small to be an effective every down 3-4 DE. If we start him at DE, we might as well just hand Moreno 100+ yards.
