Part of me wonders if Rob is getting a little too arrogant. Although, I'm not even sure I would call it arrogant. Maybe "dismissive" is the better word.
These last two weeks have been atrocious at times.
At times, these last two weeks have been Wade-esque. Cannot get off the field to save their life. Today they were hurt when Ware recorded a sack but a penalty was called for illegal contact, contact that I seen in nearly every game. Fasano was not disrupted from his route, he didn't even really look as though he felt the contact at all. Furthermore, I thought the DB could hold his ground to a certain extent and be just fine if the offensive player came to him with the contact. I'd have too look again but I thought it was a poor, poor call.
But when you look back at the QBs he's faced in Fitz, Brady and Stafford and you see a defense that was getting off the field (Generally speaking, yes Brady drove the field and scored but that's more him than it is any sort of flaw in the defense. That's his legend. Against the Lions, I think the team was completely deflated after the two INTs because they were handing Detroit it's *** before that), a defense that was getting it done and a defense that didn't just concede chunks of yards or let WRs run as free as a streaker in a soccer game.
I wonder if Rob is starting to give the opposition so little credit that he basically dares the opposing QBs to beat him because he honestly doesn't think that they can. Is it possible that he doesn't feel the need to take a few risks because the QB's track record says that he will screw up first?
I dunno. I'm just looking for something right now that might give me hope that Ryan get better results. The WRs running free as can be is concerning. These aren't even dominant WRs. Most are JAGs. Take Marshall out of the mix and you might not have a guy who would start on another roster.
I just cannot believe that the defense has gone from containing much better QBs to letting bottom-feeders feast on them at will.
