3 year Brit fan with question about how the Texans stopped Josh Allen (3 turnovers 8 sacks).
Been watching for 3-4 years now, and getting a lot more into the game tactically. Haven’t seen Josh Allen be troubled like he was that night and had a few questions around it (sorry if they’re stupid or obvious).
The Texans seemed to prioritise pressure upfront, the pocket was constantly collapsing, is this the best/biggest way to stop a qb who can scramble well?
It seemed as though the corners blitzed or were in press man coverage more often than usual, is this in case of the scramble, I.e they’re closer to the line of scrimmage, or is this to delay the routes, meaning Allen holds the ball for longer and the d line has more time to collapse the pocket?
The sacks speak for themselves as to why they happened, but how did these looks drive turnovers, as they seem to prioritise pressure, as opposed to coverage.
Really sorry if this is stupid, thanks in advance.
