The biggest issue with HBs absence was Spags didn't trust the replacements to run our normal defense. We went very vanilla and Allen and Daboll zeroed in on our coverages.
When Allen doesn't have to think he can look like a top 5 player. Throw in the lack of talent and it was what we saw.
Armani Watts was horrible. Thornhill as the lead dog safety looked lost.
Sad thing is we could have signed guys that cost 2 to 4 million and they would be worlds better.
Thornhill might be able to play in a different scheme. He just looks bad in ours. Sad because I was hoping for a lot more from a 2nd round pick.
