We need to play MAN and let them get beat. It creates a much tougher pass from the quarterback. Help our d-line out by taking away the quick passes to the sideline and force the play to take time to develop. We still will have help over top. I hope this is what he means because until we get rid of the 15 yard cushion we will not be able to stop anything. Exactly. Our corner are always playing 5 - 8 yards out which makes for an easy slant or screen pass every time. That's usually 3-5 yards and if they break a tackle even more. Then they start worrying about the short routes and bam... deep throw. It's so easy even we can see it. Why can't the guy who gets paid for it see that? It drives me crazy seeing it every... single... play. completely agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, I am still holding on that he may have been misquoted or that his statements were taken out of context. I think he just means that we're going to need to play better on defense, i.e. tackle better, get pressure on the QB, etc. Those are things that we haven't really done too well on and need to improve. Not sure why you're so concerned that he might have been misquoted or taken out of context. Not concerned about him being misquoted or taken out of context, but more concerned over his pessimistic attitude with a team that really needs a good kick in the ass. The comment was meant to be facetious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why last year versus this year. It is the coaches fault mostly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
