I’m just looking for more knowledge on the game, and not to open the players, not plays can of worms. When talking about the pass rush against Cam Newton, Mike McCarthy mentioned the Panthers “setting their protection to our rush” as part of the chess match. Is there anything you noticed?
I have a favorite story that might apply to your question. I remember the day late in L.C. Greenwood’s career he was benched in favor of a younger player. After the first quarter, the young player was benched and Greenwood took his place. After the game, Coach Noll was asked why he took the young player out of the game.
