Moves to fix defense

Leave Downs at FS, Bland is proven as a slot corner, and Barham needs to be the Mike.
Derrick was a DC before.

Let him take over the play calling.

There’s no shame.

It’s in the best interests of the team.
 
Great assessment. I got so angry watching the edge players crashing down, trying to make a play on the other side of the field instead of containing their side of the field
I had flash backs to Micah on run D, minus the QB pressure.

I don't think many moves need to be made we're overreacting What I do think needs to be adjusted is not playing as much zone and playing more man both 28 rebel and bland probably more comfortable in man you can play splits you can play zone if Durant like zone better you need to have an adjustment from game one to 2 by the utilizing your players better They played way too much zone not enough man that is why there were 10 to 12 minute drives that were nine to 12 plays and they just methodically moved down the field you couldn't get your pass rust there because they were leaving too much space That's why they were able to run a basic offense vanilla just Deacon Duncan a ball to the edges playing power running game and they were just people were open all over the place because they were giving them a first downs you can't do that..

I don't think many moves need to be made I just think you need to just call a better game with more multiples you remember the word multiples well they pretty much played zone all game they had a few man plays and I don't think that our corners are very good in zone..

Look I like Parker but wasn't that already proven last year why would you run so much zone on the road in game one and just give them such easy first downs I mean it's like they're giving way too much credit to the Giants right now acting like there's some contenders because Harbaugh is the coach no the Cowboys allowed them to look like that I don't think it was much as the roster as it was the game plan and the play calling just mix up your defensive scheme more in the game if you want to play a couple zone snaps do it but you need to utilize your players better that is what I'm going to see if he grows from game one to game 8 and that we don't have another Matt Eberfluce that's scared to come up and don't be so crazy like Flores but you need to get aggressive really aggressive at times you can't let them just sit back there and do what they want and that's what they did and that's why I'm unhappy I don't think it's a bad coaching and I think it's bad players I just think they had a bad game plan. I just think they had a bad game plan

Nice, but why not flip Bland to the slot, Durant at CB.
Bland seemed to do better in the slot when he first started.
Because Bland isn't fast enough to make up ground....when a guy in the slot starts running a dig route...It's a foot race....and he's gonna get beat most of the time. With Bland on the outside....He's good @ using the sideline as an extra defender...plus his best attribute is reading the QB and jumping routes. Don't take away his best trait. Durant can run...and is surprisingly willing to come up and fill in the run game.
