I don't care what talent you have and what scheme you run, you do not consistently drop the highest (or one of) paid pass rusher into coverage more than you rush him.
Especially on 3rd & long Especially when a team is pinned inside their own 2 yard line Especially when it's a crucial passing down or drive that will decide the game It's amazing to hear Gruden and Romo and all these announcers say with disbelief that Houston has actually dropped into coverage more than he has rushed the passer. That is just ****ing inexcusable. |

I seriously don't understand the insistence that this defense has been crazy talented or that we can't field a defense with lesser talented. For a defense with stars players that can't stay on the field, this D has been pretty consistently good the past 4 years. This year is a unique problem. |

The issue is unless the problem is purely playcalling (it's not) than not a whole lot can be done by now. I don't think Gibbs would successfully scrap an entire system in a week. They need to ride or die with Sutton and completely change focus in the winter. |

There's only so much minor tweaking you can do.
This D has a philosophy problem and a problem with handling fundamental Defensive playing. This D is what it is mostly by now and to rid the funk they beed some wholesale changes and a new identity. |

Or the 1-4. |

Yeah 5 years of this defense is enough. |

Our defense in the playoffs: Indy loss. Totally unacceptable from the D Texans win: Great defense here. Patriots loss: allowed 27 points...Patriots only had the ball for 22 minutes. So 1.2 points per minute Steelers loss: Yeah... Neither side of the balk has ever been insanely talented by but the defense has had more talent for longer. And let's face it the bulk of our cap is tied up in defense |

Good chance players doze off when Sutton explains his schemes in the weekly D meeting. We need someone fiery!
