We are not doing anything "interesting" in pass coverage...unless you count playing 20 yards off of the ball on 3rd and 15.

Playing dime against pitt was beyond stupid. We adjusted against Oakland with a bigger lineup and with more four man rush. We adjusted to Dallas by going base 3-4 which actually neutralized zeke. Like I said, against power lineups, yes we have to figure that out and we havent landed on that yet.
What is the main reason it didn't work against Philly, Washington, and Oakland? Again, it was that jump ball that we defend so shitty. Not talking about wide open deep balls. I'm talking contested jump balls, sometimes where we have two DBs in the area tripping over their feet. So against majority of the teams we've played, has it been scheme or execution? I don't know. Lets fix the execution first and see where that takes us. As I've said before, we played good D against SD, Denver, and Houston. With all the contested 50/50s in those 3 games, average execution knocks a few of those down and probably picks 1 or 2 of those off.
And that's off to suggest we run the same coverages every time. In prevent and pond yardage yes we moronically run the same dumb set and that needs to stop. But on other downs there's plenty of variety of coverages.
