Sure nobody wants to get beat by the big play. but damn you have to take a risk and gamble sometimes. There never to seemed to be a push up the middle from our DL and when we did the force the QB out of the pocket, there wasn't a LB for miles around. Just shows that our scheme last season was very bad.
Agreed. How many times on 3rd down did it seem like the QB had 6-7-8 seconds to stand back there and wait for a WR to come open?
And yeah...sometimes being aggressive gives up big plays, but it can create them too.
I wasn't a fan of the weak zone coverage that the team played a lot too. Seems they tried to go bend but don't break. But, guys get open in a zone if there is little pressure.
Seems like those things all compound. And I'm not even mentioning the poor LB play.
Our Tackling has seemed suspect also for several years now.
