[QUOTE="stinger78, post: 969131, member: 6771"] Two thoughts having time to consider what I saw on a couple of examples yesterday: 1. We got no pressure on the QB all day long - 2 TFL. He's a fast and shifty QB, so you have to be careful, but you have to pressure the guy, or he picks you apart. I only saw a small handful of blitzes yesterday, and they weren't executed well and easily picked up. You give that guy time and he eats you alive. It looked like the plan was to just try to contain him, not attack him. That seems like a bad plan to me. 2. One of our CB (cannot recall which) actually turned on a receiver to go back, from the LOS, instead of backpedaling until the WR got 3 yards away. You backpedal early to be able to stop and break on the play/ball if he curls in front of you, and you turn to run with him as he approaches you. It requires loose hips and speed to do this. The WR simply curled in, caught the ball, and had 10-yards of open field. Very poor technique. In fact, I'd say our CB was so concerned he'd be outrun his plan was to keep the play in front at all costs. He did, but it was another BC first down. These two examples were, sadly, all too emblematic of our defensive play yesterday. The question is why this was happening. I surely don't know, but our plan appears to cover for skill deficits. If not, it seems like either poor coaching or poor execution. My expectation coming into this season was that we covered most of our talent gaps via the portal. Maybe not, and we just have some real gaps in talent. This doesn't explain how we play better every other week though. I'm scratching my head. [/QUOTE]
