1. Talib on T.Y. Hilton - Talib was getting burned all over the field yet earlier in the season Chris Harris shut him down completely. Doesn't make sense at all to keep Talib on T.Y. or does it? Del Rio obviously liked what he was seeing because he sure didn't change it.

2. 4 man pass rush - it was a failure. Why didn't he call blitzes more often? One thing was definitely not working so why not try something else? Nothing to lose besides a playoff game. I'm not even going to bring up the 3 man rush with 350 lb. Knighton in coverage, even though I just did.

3. Von Miller - why not move him around a bit? Make defenses account for him. I remember a time when that was the way it was. You didn't know where he was going to lined up. Hell he could be right over the center. Now he just stands over 320 lb RT's and if he doesn't manage to turn on the afterburners and get around them he's stonewalled. Del Rio has never seen a blitz he's liked = FACT.

The signs point to Del Rio putting players in positions where they were most likely to fail. Would Belicheat do that? Hell no! When JT caught a few passes in the Broncos/Pats game earlier in the season, Beli made an in-game adjustment...not even a half time adjustment but an in-between plays adjustment and put Browner on JT and shut his ass down for the rest of the game. That's real coaching. Del Rio is a fraud.

But anyway, Del Rio I wish you nothing but misery and failure in Chokeland. You deserve nothing else.
