It is just like the Breshnahan crap units of old: Don't give up any big play...but get nickel and dimed to death and you don't contest a single check-down. This shit has to stop. They need to challenge a team that goes max protect and attack them with extra defenders and be up on the LOS to lock down their weapons. We will see nothing but this if we don't get more aggressive.
Very disappointed in Austin. Yes, it is only one week, but against THAT line they had a chance to get an identity. Nothing.
Goes without saying but Zimmer was a great DC. If we had him, I think we shut out and stop the Colts.... not just try to slow them down.
I will reserve full out disdain until I see more. Maybe it was just week 1, maybe they wanted to take this time to experiment a little with a team they knew they could beat, which is why we saw a shift in the 2nd half, who really knows. I don't like the idea of letting a QB that hasn't played a meaningful snap in so long to gain confidence with the dink and dunk, getting closer and closer, then hoping that one of their players makes a mistake.
That isn't game planning at all. If it continues it will confirm my suspicions on Austin's HC interviews and why he hasn't been selected.
