But Daniels is taking himself out of the play by pursuing the TE. Spiller would run right by before he could ever change direction.

I'm sure that technically there is a blown assignment, but clearly that scheme is exposed. DJ holds the edge and Spiller runs up the center right past the Dlineman being double teamed and the safety chasing the TE. DJ hits the inside hole and Spiller bounces it outside because Hali is nine miles wide, tunnel visioned on the QB.

It's horrible. Even played perfectly, how does that D stand a chance? And the embarrassing thing is it's on a short field. We can't cover the pass in a 22 yard box without 6 guys in the backfield? ****ing horrible.

It's all DJ's fault. He sucks. Get with the program.

Perhaps it is. My second guess is it's Hali's fault.

But the real problem is it's a terrible defensive alignment.

Can't blame Romeo.

These players are quitters and they suck.

Nevermind that they've been All-Pro (no not Pro Bowl, ALL PRO) in the past when they're not running this STUPID ****ING HALF ASSED SCHEME.

I agree the D was a bad formation to begin with. But if DJ hold his spot he isn't caught up in the muck and is in better position to make a play wherever it goes.

Unless DJ is covering the gap that he's supposed to. If he's not, you're suggesting that Daniels shouldn't have been chasing Chandler.

Watch it at about the 12-13 second mark and look at the hole DJ fills. If he's not there, that play never bounces outside. Watch how far past that hole Daniels is by the time he recognizes run and tries to reverse direction.

I guarantee, if Johnson stays outside that 10 yards up the middle instead of to the outside.

I don't know ... you may well be right, but that play looks like it could easily be designed misdirection to me.
