Probably be worse this week because we won't get much pressure on the QB.

Fyp

this. i was scratching my head as to why Branch was on Cobb all night....stupid

There is nothing new about this

Sutton is and has been part of the problem

That same awful single high coverage worked extremely well last year and will work again now that we have Sean Smith back and we aren't playing Aaron Rodgers again. Some of you are extremely ****ing reeruned with your over reactions.

LOL at you thinking Sean Smith is going to save an entire defensive scheme

Houston moved the ball on us pretty well when they went no huddle also. I think we will see a lot of this going forward as we obviously do not handle it well.

Ummm, why not put Parker or Berry at corner? whomever was our best Athletes at safety should have been moved which even even recovering from lymphoma is Berry.

Lol at you thinking replacing Cooper/Flemming with a top 10 corner isn't going to make a huge difference. Especially considering said scheme.

Gaines and Peters weren't the problem, guy.

Smith and Peters won't be the problem, either.

The problem is the coverage is very predictable and we don't seem to have a lot after the starters on the outside. Suttons inability to make adjustments in game is alarming.

Against Denver, Manning targeted Flemming over and over and Sutton never changed things up, gave Fleming help or anything. He stopped blitzing and left Fleming on an island against really good receivers....then, he did the same thing with Cooper the next week against GB until benching him and putting a box safety in his place.

Just alarmingly mismanaged.

Lol @ you thinking we're replacing Fleming/Cooper with Smith.

We're not.

Those guys aren't going anywhere unless they activate Nelson and let him man the slot.

Which, IMO they need to do.

After all, unless they plan on re-signing Sean Smith, that's 2/3 of next years corner trio anyway...roll with the rookie and let him learn from mistakes.

I am obviously assuming Nelson will be the nickel.

Horrible predictable ban worthy post. Top 5 in points allowed the last two years. How about the offense converts some third downs and we don't give QBs like Manning and Rodgers a million possessions.

You can't run the same scheme over and over again, the NFL adjusts.

It worked extremely well last year and every team saw that and adjusted.

You have to keep moving and adjusting or you fall behind.


Even Marty Shottenheimer figured that out at the end.

While I agree that a majority of this is on the offense.......Sutton needs to eat his shit as well. It's ****ing inexcusable that Houston and Hali drop into coverage as much as they do. Especially in the situations that they do.
