I know some will disagree but these fair questions. Don't get me wrong, love the win but I'd be lying if I said the chunk plays we're giving didn't scare the hell out of me. The good news is we have plenty of time to clean it up,
Some have elaborated that it’s a new defensive scheme, and it's still a work in progress, but how long can that be used as an excuse ?
- Thanks to the lead by Diggs, this is a defense that gets turnovers and makes key plays at key moments of a game.
But it’s gonna come back to bite us with this up and down defense. It yields yards, 1st downs and
- These are the times when I really believe this run game is indeed helping out the defense ,too.
only pounding and wearing down opponents defense, but controlling the clock also keeps our D” fresh, but also not as on field and exposed.
- At this point, I was wrong to think we’d be a more passing team than run team, and lead by Dak attack 300 yd pass game
but run game seems to be identity of the team right now.
Aside from Bucs top ranked run defense, no other team on our schedule has been able to resist our run game.
- But defensively, there’s still seems to be too much confusion going on. Too many men on the field, confusion in substitution, we’re switching men in-out
every couple or 3 plays, and teams are countering with more no huddle/quick snap,..
- And it becomes a plus play for them, a penalty flag for us ..or we have to forced to burn a timeout.
And we are still busting and blowing several chunk, big plays. Game after game.
- It’s one thing if Anthony Brown is giving up his usual share of big plays downfield. ..it’s another if we are still seeing
WRs & TEs scrolling wide open break free in these coverage schemes ..
- Is this just gonna be a staple of this defense ?
Is it only gonna be a matter of time to where we cannot overcome such flaws ?
