Their defense seemed to struggle when they didn't have a QB playing ball control. They were pretty dreadful in the playoffs. I think that's something many don't understand. I hear how he can't win when opponents score 24+ but that's because he often "managed" the offense well enough to not let them. Not saying he is the reason that defense played so well, but he did help by keeping the offenses off the field.
With Kaep it was score quick, let them score, then score quick again. With Alex it was run the ball, be efficient, gain the lead and keep the lead. Completely different philosophies.
