But I even posted my observation about them doubling/chipping Frank during the gdt, after I watched them do it 3-4 times in a row. Of course, it wasn't surprising that Stefanski would do that to Frank. And it sure looked like Spags game-planned with that in mind. And since no one else seems to have caught on to it, the other thing forcing CLE to chip Frank with Hunt or Chubb did was ruin the timing of their backs coming out of the backfield. Frank ran wide and upfield a lot, forcing their backs to have to actually retreat several yards to get outside leverage to execute their chips. That added at least an extra 1.5-2 seconds to their eventual routes. I had to go back and watch some of the highlight clips on YT last night because Frank's route to Baker seemed extra circuitous, compared to his normal rush. Some of them appeared to be simply to take away the roll out to the left, but then I noticed just how far Hunt had to run just to get his chip on Frank twice in a row in the 3rd quarter, iirc. He had to run at least 5 yards behind where he started, and it probably added an extra 15 yards total to his route. I'm pretty sure those extra wide rushes were pre-planned by Spags/Daly. Frank's never tried to rush from 7 yards wide and basically straight downfield before to my knowledge, so why would he suddenly do it last night? Unless it was scripted, like the simulated rush to take away the roll out. Becaue he for damned sure doesn't have the raw speed to cover that much ground against Baker, who we all knew was going to try and get rid of the ball in under 3 seconds. |

But yeah. I noticed that most of the edge rushes looked like 'mush-rushes,' which makes sense after watching PIT's DL not only not get any real consistent pressure on Baker, but also allowed him to escape behind the rush multiple times. Seemed obvious that Spags had decided to skip the real edge rush thing for the most part, and just make sure Baker couldn't actually repeat that performance against us. |

This is the play I was referencing. I believe this was the final 3rd down stop.
Sorenson is flat-footed and Neimann is working more toward the sideline. Mathieu had already committed to defending the short curl so the entire middle of the field was open. If Baker has even 1 more second to hang in the pocket, they probably convert there. Total game-changing pressure from Jones there and you wouldn't really think much of it. |

probably not what Clark was doing. Probably you possess little if any analytical skills. That's kind of a mental coinflip at this point. But probably almost definitely you're trolling.
But you're not interesting about it anymore, so probably not going to continue responding to your trolling efforts until you become interesting again. |
