You mean 2nd, 3rd string DB’s? Guys elevated off the practice squad??
Those DB’s?
And hunt 5 for 32.
Needed to get up on points so they gave up the run and depended on Brissett’s arm.
Football 101.
Great coverage downfield allows for longer holding of the ball by the QB. Longer holding of the ball by the QB increase chances of sacks and rushed passes.
Not so good coverage downfield allows average or poor QB’s to be better than they are.
Our defensive backfield is decimated and on IR or inactive. Nuff said.
What an incredible game today.
After a week of team illness, snow-pocalypse, players walking to the stadium through snow, fans digging players out, crappy first quarter.
Hope this helps the team gel moving forward!
