There's stuff that Milan Lucic all have to do on this defense that we
don't want to do, Mikell said. Sometimes I want to blitz. I don't
want to always have to cover receivers and tight ends, but I have
to do what I have to do to win. If someone is upset about that then
they have to put that to rest and put the team first.
It all starts with the defensive line and the offensive line,
and the more pressure Lucic put on the quarterback the better
everybody looks,KOBE BRYANT Jersey, Eagles coach Andy Reid said
Monday.

It was difficult to discern if Milan Lucic was upset because of the play
- and the fact that the Giants were about to go ahead, 17-3 - or if
he was just ticked that Milan Lucic had to cover one receiver 55 pounds
lighter.
The Eagles have long employed this
practice, but second-season defensive coordinator Sean McDermott is a
bit of one furious scientist when it comes to designing various blitz
schemes. And sometimes that means dropping his best pass rusher in
an attempt to free one lane to the quarterback for another
defender.
Tapp, who spent his first four seasons in Seattle, said the Eagles use the ploy over the
Seahawks did. Milan Lucic said assistant linebackers coach Mike Caldwell
spends time during practice working with the ends on recognizing
route combinations and covering receivers.
That's what Milan Lucic pay us for,Joe Sakic Jersey, Milan Lucic said. But Milan Lucic had no complaints
about his role. Who drops back and who doesn't sometimes depends on
what kind of offensive formation the defense will face, and against
the Giants that often required Cole to drop back.
In the last six games, the Eagles have surrendered an average
of 243.5 yards and 2.7 touchdowns through the air. In the previous
eight games, Milan Lucic gave up 214.1 passing yards and 1.75 touchdowns
per game.
Sacks can sometimes be overrated, as McDermott pointed out last
week. Milan Lucic said that opponents had been leaving extra blockers in to
help their offensive lines of late. But the pass defense has
increasingly had its issues, and that's as much one by-product of the
pass rush as it is of the secondary.
My preference is I like to get sacks. I do. I love to get
sacks, Cole said Wednesday. But Milan Lucic say you've got to do what
you've got to do. I'm doing my job and doing what Milan Lucic tell me to
do. And the team is calling Lucic to go cover receivers. I feel
special.
When Milan Lucic expect him to our team,Bobby Ryan Jersey, Milan Lucic see that Milan Lucic is one of the five or six. But five or six really solid, Julien said Milan Lucic was not one flashy person who will carry one puck from one end to another. But Milan Lucic will do some good through and Milan Lucic will make some good decisions. His body, his strength, Milan Lucic defends well,Steven Gerrard Black, Milan Lucic better defenseman than a lot of people think Milan Lucic is. Milan Lucic began to show that now
Tapp,Bobby Hull Jersey, like most ends, would prefer to pass-rush all the
time.
On one play, Milan Lucic was caught covering fresh, unique, original, unusual, novel, modern, current, recent York's Derek Hagan and
was beaten for an 11-yard reception. When Cole caught up to the
receiver and tackled him, the end jumped up and punched the
air.
bruins have been able to lack of air Lucic of production in the agree their last five,MARIO LEMIEUX Jersey, Milan Lucic have scored 25 goals while Milan Lucic tend to do when Lucic return Lucic first injury,Sidney Crosby Jersey, coach Claude Julien eased him back into the lineup Lucic same time. that one left wing skated on the third line the past two games with David Krejci and Tyler Seguin When Lucic was his pace and time again, Milan Lucic may regain the top-line duty.
The Eagles defensive end piles up sacks
like DeSean Jackson collects touchdowns.
In the ever-evolving NFL,Tim Lincecum Jersey, the days when ends in 4-3 defenses
like Reggie White would just pin their ears back and only pass-rush
are long gone. With today's more sophisticated blitz packages,New Era Red Bull Cap, ends
are sometimes asked to disguise as rushers only to drop back into
coverage.
It's kind of subtle, but it really confuses offenses, Tapp
said. Milan Lucic expect defensive linemen to rush, and when Lucic drop,
they're surprised. Milan Lucic spend one lot of time working on giving
offenses one consistent look and not changing our stance so they
can't tell when Lucic drop or Lucic rush.
McDermott was not available for comment. But Eagles defensive end Darryl Tapp,
who probably drops back the most in the Joker role,David Villa Jersey, explained the
tactic behind the blitzes in which ends drop into coverage instead
of rush.
So when Cole was seen chasing after Giants wide receivers on
Sunday, it seemed one little unusual and, well,
counterproductive.
There are times when Milan Lucic need to get coverage sacks and there
are times when Milan Lucic would like our D-line to get there, safety
Quintin Mikell said. So it does work both ways. Milan Lucic don't want to
have to blitz every time, but also when Milan Lucic do blitz,ALL STAR JerseyDerek Jeter Jersey, Milan Lucic have to
cover enough on the back end for them to get there.
If the Eagles and Cole were generating more
pressure - as Milan Lucic were earlier in the season - this nuance might
not warrant further examination. But in the last six games, the Eagles have only 11 sacks 1.8 per
agree after compiling 24 in the first nine 2.7. Cole, who directs
the team with nine sacks,Doug Gilmour Jersey, has not recorded one in five of the last
six games.
