CP only has 2 LBs on the field and an extra DB, but still leaves huge holes over the middle and swing passes. Does he not know how to make adjustments? Iggles defense doesn't play like that. Did he learn anything from Fangio? It took hiring Pettine to finally bring some pressure. Every fan on this board knew to make that adjustment. What is CP doing with coverage that proven DB's forget how to do basic things?
 
I agree: He has 4 slow guys rush that allow the QB 4-8 seconds to pass the ball or run. The 7 defenders drop off into a standard basic zone. Eventually after 4-8 seconds one of the receivers catch a pass for 5-20 yards, sometimes more.
 
Christian Parker and his group of assistants are officially a disaster that will cost Brian Schottenheimer his job. Coupled with the sudden meltdown on offense. I wouldn’t be surprised if Schotty doesn’t make it through the year.

He can go tomorrow morning for all I care

That’s a 4-2-5 in that particular nickel package

With the players we have, it’s more like a 1-1-2
 
Malachi Lawrence was defending in zone coverage 20 yards down field while they had 3 DT’s rushing the passer.

It’s bizarre
 
He doesn't have right personnel here.

This team needs about 4 more def starters a new RT a new RB a new HC a new OC a new TE.

We should be playing more 5 man fronts.

Both sides of the ball have serious issues.

And made the play. But yes Bizarre. Maybe against the Eagles we can try dropping Q into coverage on Smith.

I seriously dont understand schematically what CP is trying to do here. Virtually nobody in the NFL plays schemes like this, it is almost like he is just trying exotic chit to see how it works like you are screwing around on Madden.
