It was the same vs daudy last cycle as far as the 1 DE goes.
I was very happy with our first half where we only gave up 2 pressures. I put the entire team dropoff in the 2nd half down to the relax rule kicking in, even though the end game ratings don't seem to reflect that the relax rule had kicked in.

The defense didn't relax a bit. The relax rule effects both offense and defense together. I only see an issue with pressures allowed in the second half.

Yeah, but they were only playing vs a running attack. And they did get a few good runs in the 2nd half. Their first half TD came on the back of an INT and their best pass of the game!

Yeah a bit of luck prevented a shutout.
It's something to moniter at least. We really shouldn't have problem until the first reverse games. So there is time to figure what is happening.

Yeah.
Problem is, it looks like the USA is the only team that we can properly gauge ourselves by. I have a feeling the relax rule might be getting a good workout other than our next game vs them!

I didn't realise but we actually have a 3 week break. Helpful for those players like Keil where time training is requied.

Relax rule showed up in this game in results and post game ratings!
35 points in first half, 0 in 2nd. D gave up only 2 pressures in the first half, 4 and 3 sacks in the 2nd.
