You nailed it! Teryl Austin dialed up a “man over” defense where Andrew Luck could have the slants and short out routes but the longer routes were taken away by the safeties over the top. It’s frustrating to watch because it looks like the defense is getting owned but in actual fact it turns touchdowns into field goals.
They converted just about every single third down. That is inexcusable. The soft zone crap is fine every now and then, but to do it all game long? Ridiculous... Made the game way to easy for Luck. We have got to step up the aggressiveness from time to time, especially on third down.
That kind of defensive game planning is exactly why Chuck Bresnahan was a complete failure.
