The Good
I liked that Downing actually drew up a few new plays that worked.
I liked that we ran Tanny on a few designed runs...forcing the DE to respect the possibility of the outside run prevents him from crashing inside...VY's threat to take the ball outside was a huge help to CJ...Tanny can help The King as well
Landry, Simmons and Byard made the impact that they are expected to make
The Bad
Our Lbers were total crap in coverage (poor coaching that allowed Landry to be one on one with a TE)
OL still giving up way to much pressure
Swaim is the worst blocker....do not design a play that counts on him making the key block.....3 games in a row of him totally screwing up a key play
No deep passes called again.....not sure whether this is a result of no trust in the OL to protect or that we just don't have the WRs to run the speed routes but we have had very few deep pass attempts this yr...even an incomplete deep ball forces the defense to back off the los a little bit fearing the possible deep strike...again a simple thing to help The King out...I'm good just throwing deep out of bounds on purpose just to put the threat in the minds of the defense.
If we can split the next 2 games I'll be happy and this is what I would have said at the beginning of the season
