I’m genuinely worried now.

Before i was thinking it was just a fluke. Now I’m convinced there is a legitimate blueprint to beat Sam.

He needs to lose the concrete feet and find a hole to exploit this pressure
But Kubiak needs to adjust the scheme, gameplan and play calling to help him. He can't keep forcing the same thing that is no longer working.

MacD has adjusted when he needs to. It time for him to force Kubiak to as well.

The fix is simple. Have a successful run game. It’s probably not going to get changed this year tbh.

Agree with many of the comments.

Definitely worried. Smith beelined straight for him…got airborne…

Sam didn’t even try to throw a little juke…batted down pass.

It’s deer in the headlights Deja Vu

Teams changing the way they are playing D. Offense needs to respond and adjust. It won't be as easy to just chuck it up to JSN.
I have definitely noticed this in this game and the previous two. They are disguising their Ds better with lots of guys in the box. Sam has not done great against pressure. But who has.

All of the penetration they are getting makes it hard to run the ball as well.
