We are not dictating games, our defense is very good, but we play aggressive and when we don't teams can pick us apart, that last drive we attacked the line but played off the receivers, McDougal was not deep and actually went to the wrong side leaving Griffin exposed deep.
We have fought O line issues for a few years, today it decided to stand above all else with pressures and penalties, Brown played well but the Redskins attacked our week side and stacked it across the middle not really challenging Brown.
Rawls actually looked decent running down hill and aggressive when we used him, went away from that when we got behind and really didn't need to that early.
Wilson was just off, maybe he was trying to do to much and forcing things. We had good numbers on offense as far as stats, but they are misleading since we had drives that started well and then were shut down by interceptions or penalties.
Play calling, inside slants do not work when we telegraph them period.
Late release screen passes do work, pity we don't use them more.
No intermediate passing game, 3rd and short we go long or run, that's again perplexing since your giving the defense nothing to make them think and take advantage of. Having to decide who to cover on a guy short and one guy going long and a possible blown coverage for a big gain while allowing you to also get a first down, we don't do that either.
Soft zone of Richard, that's not what this defense does well, we are a physical press defense at our best, yet Richard continues to employ the Bradley approach.
