I like this.The Cowboys were ahead on the scoreboard with 7 seconds remaining in the game.
The Super Bowl champion Bucs returned all 22 starters.
The Cowboys defense in 2020 was the worst in history.
The Cowboys have a new D-Coordinator and had 3 returning starters on defense. One of those starters only had 11 starts in his career.
On the long TD pass to WR when covered by CB Brown, there was a deep Safety on that side of the field.
- The slot WR was on the same side as WR Brown with CB Lewis covering him.
- Both WR Brown and the slot WR ran straight downfield with the slot WR cutting inside about 20 yards from the line of scrimmage.
- CB Lewis fell down and the deep Safety on that side had to come up to cover the slot WR because Lewis was on the ground.
- CB Brown was playing trail coverage on WR Brown because the scheme had a deep Safety committed to help him.
- No D-Coordinator can scheme around the Nickel CB falling to the ground 20 yards downfield.
The scheme was not the problem.
Now if we can stop dropping like flies we might just be ok.
