Kind of. A lot of the issues were coming off drags. If you press on zone your going to release them to the inside which means the drags they were running still end up being ran under the zone. If you go press in man (which I was hoping to see more of) you have LB's in space which was an issue when we did go for it.
People need to realize, of their top 5 receiving options two were TE's, two were HB's only one was a WR and it was Hilton with 5 receptions for 46 yards and a TD. When teams do that, especially on underneath routes, it is usually by design. It is a case of let them dink and dunk and wait for a mistake because there isn't a ton you can do about it. What this should also make people realize is the CBs were fine, it was more of a LB and Safety issue. Fej as great as his last play was got picked on a lot. I think if Williams and Burfict are playing we hold up better.
