He’s been very good for our defense, but his game plan and lack of adjustment today was very poor.
Houston had a RB and 2 poor QBs. Almost nothing at WR with Cooks out. He should have been playing lots of zone and basic defense. Houston either ran the ball, ran the RPO, or threw quick passes. They were not planning to drop back and stand around. Quinn kept blitzing and overloading sides in crazy alignments. This was not the game for that. We were not going to get sacks. Tunsil did a great job on Parsons. We should have had our safeties back, playing zone with everyone’s eyes on the backfield, playing the run or the ball when in the air. I felt all the needless blitzing really hurt us today.
Switch to offense, Moore had a lousy day as well. Houston was sitting in a great zone, keeping everything in front and then punishing our receivers. Their LBs were getting great drops and filling the passing lanes. Most of the tipped passes were just like the great throw that won us the game. They had to be dropped over the backers and before the DBs clocked our receivers. Those guys got hands on some passes with crazy hops and body contortions. Where were the 3 TE sets for 3 quarters? Where was all the motion used to get Ceedee open? I didn’t understand or like the game plans by either coordinator.
