You can't really shut down a team that is use to throwing 40+ times a game. But we can mix up coverages and blitz packages to make the SoCon player of the year at least read a defense. Letting him sit in the pocket and wait for WR's to clear zones seemed to be our approach. Most D-Coordinators force teams with short passing games to go to their long to middle pass plays and forcing them to throw 50-50 balls. You do this by
-Walking your safety to the LOS
-Drop DL in coverage when blitzing LB's
-Overload one side of the OL.
-Force the offense to keep an extra blocker in the backfield
-play cat mouse where you show blitz but drop in short zones or bring the kitchen sink occasionally

Once they started throwing the sidearm dink we NEVER put a player in position to stop or pick the throw. Oftentimes we only rushed three. Of the times we blitzed or rushed with more than 4 we either caused an incomplete pass or interception over 50%. When we rushed only three they picked us apart.
I don't care what the stats say or what others did against them; the eye test and a simple count shows that when we sat back and let them dictate what they would do, they picked us apart. Unless we change it will happen again. You think ETSU won't do the same against us?
