Reply to "Ryan Wood on a tweet about Blake Martinez"

 

Or does Pettine not have any other choice?  

I guess that's (stubbornly) my point. We all know Blake is unfortunately their best option at ILB. But getting 100% of the snaps makes me wonder about the adjustments and creativity on Pettine's part. (Ex : More hybrid looks please) A guy who is poor in pass coverage doesn't come off the field ?....in a pass first league ? 

Creative Defensive Coaches overcome personnel mismatches and dictate terms. Belichick and Rex Ryan were masters at this. As we saw with Pettine against Phillip Rivers , Pettine didn't adjust and Rivers had his way ...and even commented after the game "We just kept getting the same look, and kept getting the same look, and kept getting the same look. I think we said, ‘Let’s just keep doing the same thing.’

Offenses get innovative to create favorable match-ups. Creative Defensive Coordinators have to think outside the box and embrace the matchup game.
