As much as it pisses me off to say it, I was right...
Everybody blaming McCleon can all quit now.
The problem with this pass defense is 100% GUNTHER.
Vermeil said before the game that he wanted to activate Warfield to play at least on special teams but the defensive coaches didn't want him active and Vermeil "gave in".
If McCleon (or lack of Warfield) was the SOLE reason for the soft zone, then you'd think Gunther would have been chomping at the bit to get him in. Instead, Gunther goes against the head coach and has him inactive while we give up another 300-yard passing game...
