We always talk about how Pete’s scheme is the issue and he doesn’t like to change. Well I went back and watched some tape of games from 2012. I was surprised to see that that back then on D they were playing press coverage and a lot of man on almost every play while today they are 8-10 yards off the ball and in zone often. Also now huge holes in the zones that teams exploit week in and out. It drives me crazy when I see this and wonder why they went away from press and man coverage. I really do not think that it’s due to the players athletic ability as I do think it’s Pete changing his philosophy for some reason.
If you have some game film from 2011-14 check out how differently the D lines up and covers. It’s just perplexing.
