LB48 Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 (edited) Both of the plays were identical. Play-action to the back and then get Hughes to make a one-on-one decision as to who he should tackle. He bit on the RB both times and Murray literally walked in to the end zone. Where were the other LB's and especially where was the D-Line?? They were invisible. It was great scouting by the Cardinals to see that weakness in our defense. It's all pretty discouraging.

MJS Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Any other negative thoughts for us? Get them all out of your system. As for those plays. The first was a great fake. I don't blame them. The second one they should have saw it coming. But they didn't. 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fasteddie Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 DE's have been getting sucked in on plays like that all year long. Why should yesterday be any different. This has been bugging me the most about this coaching staff. I haven't figured out if the coaches don't know what they are doing, or the players are dumber than a box of rocks. Either way, things need to change soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augie Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 (edited) Yeah, so every other coaching staff is a bunch of idiots, too. How about, he’s freaky quick, fast and shifty and like Lamar last year, it takes some adjustment. I wonder about the complainers. Are they perfect in their jobs 100% of the time? I’m thinking probably not, but it doesn’t happen on national TV. The NFL is a tough business. We are getting better year over year. I’m not freaking out over a last second loss to a good team on the road, on maybe the best individual play of the entire season. We certainly have places we need to improve (even McD will tell you that about himself), but I like the big picture. It still hurts, but I can get over it. .

Well I certainly saw it coming from a mile away, but that's easy for me to say sitting on my couch. But if Hughes rushed Murray instead, it would have at least force him to try to juke him and could have given time for defenders to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, what the heck happens at halftime that they play so poorly in the 3rd Qtr? I don’t know how much of anything can be done in 12 minutes, which includes the walks to and from the locker room. Do the players take a 5 minute nap, then come out groggy? Obviously, if the coaches are making adjustments, they’ve determined them before getting into the locker room. Not much time to draw it up.

It’s fair to criticize what’s truly broken, but I don’t think thats the case here or worth my continued involvement. Have a nice night. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DE is responsible for maintaining outside containment. It's not coaching. You learn it in Pee Wee football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arizona ran the same running play multiple times and the Bills couldn't stop it. You would think 2nd half adjustments would have been made.

Thriftygamer83 Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Coaching hasn't really provided any adjustments and has looked largely out foxed. We don't have Shaq or Jordan even with injuries they've played well. It says something to McDermott and his process and lack of progress as a Coach.
