It’s still 15 yards penalty bc you can’t hit a player without the ball, who’s not blocking.He’s not protected on those plays since it’s a option run

Keep their offense off the field
Do y’all coli defensive coordinators really think these NFL DC’s haven’t already tried what y’all have said?
You’re not going to have somebody spy on him because he’ll juke you then outrun you, if you’re too aggressive then they’ll just play action and kill you with the TE’s and Hollywood Brown
Tried to tell these nikkas that earlier in the thread
Even got @Leasy bringing up Jim Johnson. Man Vick could never throw the ball like Lamar (and I’m not just talking pure arm strength cuz we know Vick has the stronger arm). You blitz Lamar he’s gonna make you pay, he’s improved leaps and bounds as a pure QB with his decision making and how he fits the ball into tight windows.
Best thing you can do is limit his possessions, slow the game down when you’re on offense (like the 49ers) and work for turnovers when you get a chance to tackle him (strip the ball, fukk the big hit)
Eagles didnt blitz but showed diffrent looks pre-snap and had their D Ends not rush which created a bubble around Vick or could be Jackson.
The defensive scheme mad Vick read the defense and adjust consistently at pre-snap.
And the bigger problem is you HAVE to attack the gaps because Ingram will kill you if you don’t.And that’s what Lamar excels at now moe, that’s why teams have been getting torched. You don’t rush him he’s gonna cut you up, you blitz him he’s gonna cut you up. He’s not Vick, you can’t play him like a QB who WANTS to run. Lamar WANTS to stay in the pocket and throw the ball
once you get rid of the ball you can't hit him. that's 15 yards. Those add up too.
Johnson also had his ends come off the ball under control against the Falcons. He didn't want them attacking and getting out of position. He wanted them to focus on stopping the run and keeping Vick in the pocket. The Eagles were going to dare Vick to pass, which wasn't his strength.
Beyond that, Johnson wanted to confuse Vick with pre-snap looks. The Eagles didn't blitz much in the game, but did use a lot of eight-man fronts. Johnson had the extra defender come into the box at the last moment so Vick would have less time to read the defense and make a good initial read.
Rbs get blown up all the time on read plays, there’s no flags for thatIt’s still 15 yards penalty bc you can’t hit a player without the ball, who’s not blocking.
