Vinny Rey broke off of his coverage to tackle Johnny. I can't blame him, as Johnny had just scrambled over and over again to pick up first downs. Either way, Duke was Vinnys man, and he let him free. Wasn't Burfict.
When they showed a replay, Manziel had at least two defenders that would have forced him out of bounds. That was a terrible decision by Rey and it led directly to a TD. I know Rey is our leading tackler but he is terrible IMHO. He is very reactionary and is a pretty poor tackler. Consistently takes bad angles and he's not very good in coverage.
Another waste of space on defense is Peko. Just about every big run was when he was in the middle. There were a few where he ran with the blocker who was blocking down and the RB ran directly behind Peko's back where there was a big hole. Peko created a huge hole because he wasn't paying any attention to the ball carrier. No blocker was even touching him he just ran parallel to the blocker and had his shoulder turned away from the big hole he just created. He's garbage in the pass rush and he's usually good for one good play a game and he celebrates like he is some dominate force. Teams know he is our weakness and run it right at him. Who the Heck wouldn't when he's opening big holes for you.
