They've been playing a lot of Dime and Nickel and allowing the underneath routes to keep the WR's in front of them. This means taking LBs off the field and consequently less pass rush. With Wentz being a young QB I'm sure this scheme will continue and he will hopefully play right into this and take these short completions. :manny:
Yea I especially like how they were still able to stifle the run in the nickel/dime packages. As long as they're able to stop the run they can stay in the zone coverages so the new guys in the defensive backfield comfortable.
 

General Mills

More often than not I tend to take that L.

This! We have not been run out of the zone coverages. Its all about being disciplined.

We thoroughly frustrated Dalton. And we did it without real pressure
