the issue to me with the defense is the ability to get stops and get off the field on 3rd down. i don't know who the d coordinator is (wannstedt i believe) but there's no excuse to be playing so far off the receivers on 3rd and 4 or something. the corners constantly do this and get burned- especially yesterday.
the run defense actually was solid- but being on the field so long and trying to stop a team already on your side of the field (turnovers) don't help.
fitz had the excuse with the rib and jackson hurt last year, but there's no excuse for his decision-making, especially on the out routes. i think if he lose the next 2 games- time for a benching.
i'm still angry at wade phillips for benching flutie before that titans playoff game- i have wanted him to struggle since- watching him implode in dallas was great. great d coordinator, not a good head coach.
still believe they need a legit number 2- jones, easley and nelson don't get open quick enough for me. gonna be interesting to see if they make adjustments- that d line need to put the team on they back.
that spread attack ain't gonna cut it without a running game. spiller did good with his limited carries, gailey trying to be on some andy reid s--t with the passing- chill out.
if they can't go .500 this year, some major overhaul changes need to be made-period.
