His debut as a starter against Kansas City in 2021, although it didn’t end well, is another example of this as the Chiefs constantly blitzed Love. In the Seattle game, in particular, is where we saw this aspect of Love’s game really on display. Find a way to stay in the pocket, maneuver, and find those holes.”Īlong with the play of the offensive line, Love has been able to showcase his pocket awareness this preseason, feeling the pressure very well before it gets there, navigating the pocket, and either buying time to get rid of the ball or taking off if there weren’t any receivers open. Just something you’ve got to be able to handle. “But the stunts, like I said, the O-line has done a really good job. Be able to slide the pressure right away. Pressures that’s a lot of times when you’re the quarterback you’ve got know where your hot throws are. “They’ve been able to handle those stunts, pressures, and things like that.
“I think the O-line has done a good job,” said Love on Wednesday. In the preseason finale against Seattle, Love didn’t take a hit or sack in that game either. In the first two games, on 19 dropbacks, Love was pressured only twice and wasn’t hit or sacked on either of those plays. This offseason, in an effort to bolster their defensive front and pass rush, Chicago added interior defensive lineman Andrew Billings and edge rushers DeMarcus Walker and Yannick Ngakoue.Īlthough the Packers came into the summer with a few questions along their offensive line, specifically who the starting right tackle would be along with whether or not Josh Myers would continue as the starting center, this starting unit held up very well during the preseason.

I’ve got a lot of respect for how hard their team plays and it definitely shows up on tape.”ĭefenses will use schemed up ways to create pressures such as blitzes or with post snap movement through stunts and twists to create confusion along the offensive line, which hopefully – from the defense’s perspective – results in a free pass-rusher. “I will say this about Chicago’s defense,” said Matt LaFleur on Wednesday, “They do an unbelievable job of scheming up and creating pressure. The name of the game is getting after the quarterback, and Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers’ offensive line are going to have to contend with a Bears’ defensive front on Sunday that does a very good job of scheming up pressures.
