I don't think the players like Garrett because his conservative ways holds them back. He plays not to lose and that allows the other team a better chance to win. It's almost as if he is fine with losing as long as its close. That game was typical Garrett. Coming off good defensive performances where you let your corners play press coverage which is what they do best, you go back to the conservative zone coverage because you are facing a good WR and proceed to get plastered with a record setting performance. Even after that, you had the game in hand only to screw up the last minute and 24 seconds. On top of that, you show no creativity on offense and allow the other team to take your best players out of the game. Why let the defense dictate what you do on offense? Where are the creative formations that force the defense into mismatches? You can force linebackers to cover Beasley if you line up a certain way. You can force single coverage for Bryant if you move him around a little. Stale and predictable is easily beaten.
