Quote:I thought Rivers was moved around in the pocket and did not have to many plays where he just had all day to pass the ball. The problem is if the secondary cant cover their man for three or four seconds it totally eliminates the results that getting pressure on the quarterback will affect the game. Then consider playing against a quarterback like Rivers you need pressure and coverage to affect his game.

 

The two elements (pressure and coverage) always work in tandem and sometimes it's more one than the other to blame, but my impression today was that Rivers had time more often than not.  I did notice that he was moved out of the pocket several times which is a credit to the pressure - but I still feel like if you are going to play that much zone in the secondary - the pressure has to be more consistent.
