IN this man coverage, we have no answer for Austin and Cook. No one can match up w/ Cook and Austin is so tough in the slot vs man.

reminiscent of the former 'bend but don't break' defenses. They usually break, lol

Guys--

Remember, D Wash isn't playing and this is a whole new scheme. Of course the athleticism of the team is going to be impacted and the team is going to look confused out there.

Like with Horton, it might take 6-8 games to figure it out.

Horton's scheme had that excuse because they had ZERO offseason and a shortened 4 week preseason. This D just looks awful, tackling and getting pressure.

Yep

Why Bowels is an idiot & keeps calling basically the same D the whole game is asking for trouble...just like preseason in which they proved they can't handle this type of coverage:bang:

This defense is more effective if you have a better pass rush. Right now, Bradford is just too comfortable.

I have been critical this half, but I am pretty pleased with the results. As expected, the offense is better and defense is much worse.
