The thing that makes Jemima such a great QB is that he throws perfect passes with pass rushers right in his face. You almost never see that from QBs. He's an incredibly accurate passer, and he often does it with defenders closing in on him or already on him.
Very true, very true. Not to mention his WRs are going to break routes and get open. The TE, who I don't think is special, is able to benefit from these WRs being pretty darn good.
Greene: 39 for 690 8 TDs
Shaw: 31 for 574 3 TDs
Benjamin: 23 for 430 5 TDs
O'Leary (TE): 17 for 307 6 TDs
So the question is do you man up on the outside and try and let your CB's take the WR's out of the game or do you play more Zone?
First, I am not football scientist. So my post is just a guess.
Second, this QB is incredibly accurate. A zone may be too easy for him. Then again, man to man may be too difficult for us. Just for argument sake, let's say we do the following (this is just an example of matching up in man to man):
Greene v. Crawford
Shaw v. Howard
Benjamin v. Gunter
The three CBs above have shown the ability to blanket at WR and play well. I want Gunter on Benjamin, because Gunter is the most physical. I want Crawford on Greene because I believe Greene is their fastest WR. I think Howard will take his man out of the game.
Third: Are we going to get pressure? Is Rodgers healthy because we will need him out there at safety?
That may work above (man to man) but we will need Jenkins and Rodgers to play pretty good as well. In the end, I am more concerned with getting pressure from our front 4. We must get pressure regardless of a zone or man to man.
