MYSTERIOUS: Justin fields continues to confound defenses with amazing touchdown runs - What They Never Told You

“Obviously, you saw last week it was very difficult. But I will say this, you have to emphasize that as much as possible, and sometimes it comes with a loud voice and a demanding demeanor behind you to make sure guys understand that because I get it. Once you get a chance to try beat someone on the edge, man, you’re going continue to go, but I’ve talked to our guys about this this morning. We have to play the type of game we need to play to win, and that changes. So, in saying that, we have to make sure that we condense the pocket, make sure we push the pocket, and that we equate to getting sacks for the most part. I think Green Bay did a pretty good job of doing that. Even though they weren’t speeding rushing around the edge, they really condense the pocket, and they kept him in this cage, and they were able to make plays and get sacks.”

That’s what Detroit Lions defensive coordiantor Aaron Glenn said this week when asked about rushing too deep against mobile quarterbacks like Chicago’s Justin Fields, who set the regular season single-game rushing record for a quarterback last Sunday against the Miami Dolphins with 178 yards on the ground.
