we can put Bill Bilicheck out there. he reads a defense better than anybody ever. yet it comes down to execution. I have argued in the past, anyone new can have that "no film on you" factor going for them. but give DC's in NFL enough game tape and they will figure you out quickly. they figured quickly, that he doesn't have any arm strength to go past 15 yards down field. they packed it in and forced him to try and make outside throws, which he can't. and we saw the offensive production just drop drastically. as a result, offensive scoring dropped drastically.
the team responding, is not the offense, but defense played better, which rush has ZERO control over. the defense was figured out, much like we got figured out against Denver last year, that we can not stop the run and teams started to run the ball on us. that directly reflects in the TOP, even starting with Detroit game, where they ran more than pass (except for last 9 plays for detroit, trying to catch up). I think Philly, gave the blue print of how to play against our defense and all they did is watch the Tampa game.
and there is no denying, regardless that our offensive output has increased drastically and our scoring has increased drastically and that's what you want out of an offense. to score more.
