I respectfully disagree.....playing man coverage with no safety help and LBs not dropping deeper in to coverage was not working, yet we stayed in the same defense all night. Fitz had open lanes to throw the whole game.
If we would have played more zone coverage...dropped our LBs deeper in to coverage and actually have safeties play where they are supposed to...maybe Fitz doesn't have all that open space to throw to....Darby and Gilmore had decent coverage most of the night...sometimes good coverage....but hard to cover man to man all night long with no help......if you do not want to rush the QB you drop more players in to coverage
and we lost to the Ravens and Jets.....They are 2-0 and we are 0-2.....doesn't matter who you beat...it's the record that counts.......and with a rookie QB.....they may falter but their future looks better than ours
Maybe if he didn't have to rebuild the top 5 defense he had already built to appease the new head coach...he could have focused a bit more on the offense the last 2 drafts
I think they would have helped but leaving our corners in man to man with no safeties to help and LBs not dropping deep in to coverage were the 2 biggest problems last night
but Rex didn't change anything. He should have played more zone to help the corners
we all WANT this team to do well but get very frustrated when they don't....I understand this is a different regime running things but as a fan since the '60s....this really sucks right now....16 seasons with no playoffs....that is a ridiculous record
