[QUOTE="Boomergump, post: 259535, member: 639"] A few more thoughts after watching about a quarter of the replay and having a day to digest: We won. After having lost to DOOK the last two seasons, getting this win, however flawed, means something. I am still unhappy about the body language of our players. Something is wrong. For those of you mad at Roof, what would you do differently? I am not so sure blitzing all over the place and pressing with CBs is the way to go with our current personnel. If you press and blitz, you are pretty much guaranteed to get a ton of deep fade throws to WRs, dump offs to RBs, and or quick throws to TEs. At CB, we are not terribly fast nor long, which are the two most important characteristics when facing deep fades. Our LBS are not fast, nor are they long either, so when a TE releases..... You see what I am saying? If you get what you wish for, I am not sure you would like the results. The Austin twins would be great, if we had a dominant DL with crazy penetration and a ton of QB hurries etc. Their strength is tackling and taking away slants etc. We don't have that with the current DL. If you force them to cover deep, for long periods, against fast and tall people, when the opposition QB can take his time....oh boy. CTR has been dealt a tough hand. Possibly he could have played it better in past seasons, but this season? I am not so sure how I would go about planning for our current group. We are not fast, we are not physical up front, we are not long either along the boundary. Perhaps his game plans are not as bad as we all want to claim. We have some people who are coming along to address the shortcomings: LS and DW at CB, VA and TL at LB, and BA at DT. However, if they aren't quite ready, what is a DC to do? JT is a pretty darned good passer. Don't over-analyze DOOK forcing us out of what we like to do on offense. So we didn't get a ton of yards off the pitch. So we didn't get a ton of yards off the dive. So we weren't able to impose our will in some ways. We WERE able to take what they gave us and make them pay, which is the sign of a good offense. They made a choice to make JT beat them with his arm and his feet and he did just that. [/QUOTE]
