You don't blitz when you are playing a cupcake.
You practice your coverages and contain so you don't give up any big plays and so you don't get your own guys hurt doing crazy stuff, While letting ur offense work and get the reps they need.
I am betting they didn't run alot of stunts and various blitz packages but ran a basic defense most of the game focusing on maintaining coverage and maintaining control of the line of scrimmage, not looking to penetrate it.
You also don't want to give your opponents more film of your tendencies and more intricate blitz/coverage packages than you have to.
You treat it like a scrimmage. Which is what the defense did.
It's sad and pathetic how some Ags are defending the mediocre start to our season. Nothing you said makes sense. We had ZERO sacks against what might be the softest team on the schedule. We should have had multiple sacks and pitched a shut out.
We are in REBUILD mode yet again. FMAL
His average throwing distance, outside of the first fade he missed badly, was around 5 yards. Only 4 catches went for more than 10, 3 of which were against our back up D. It's really hard to get sacks when the ball is getting out that fast.
I will say TFL is surprising. Our run D is not as strong as I hoped for.
