When the coaches are giving 10 yard cushions we can't really blame the CBs for giving up 5-10 yard plays when its thrown that direction, so scared of giving up the big play we do this shit.
Call me crazy but Id rather give up the occasional big play and play tight coverage and atleast give our Dline a chance to get after the QB instead of just letting teams walk up and down the field by giving them 5-10 yard pass plays anytime they want them, shit the only time it seems we get a stop is if the opposing team makes a mistake.
We have one of the worst run defenses in the league. Part of the issue is poor DL play, particularly Peko and Sims at NT and MJ at RDE. Part of it is abysmal LB play. Burfict is out of shape and had already lost a step after his microfracture surgery. Maualuga was mediocre, at best, and came in out of shape. Dansby got cut by the Browns, and has exhibited why he's not good enough to play for the Browns on a weekly basis. That means you have to put a S in the box to stop the run, and that means you can't run press man with a single high S with CB'S that lack make up speed.
