This is my concern as well... mainly with the defensive scheme

look, I realize we aren't game planning for opponents, and we had corners out. The problem is that they ran the same stuff they ran in the REAL GAMES the last like 8 years. Soft Zone coverage every single play, rushing 4... putting 2 linebackers in the A gaps on 3rd downs only to have them run right back into their zone 9 times out of 10. I can't imagine how hard it must be for the offensive lineman to hold back laughs when we run these "complicated fake blitz schemes" over and over. They must be literally laughing.

Then, it wasn't really the WR's catching on our corners that were the problem. It was our linebackers and safeties allowing catches to TE's and slot WR's OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER. Looked identical to the last 8 years.

The QB gets 4 or 5 seconds to throw, finds a TE or WR in the open space between a LB and a Safety, every time.

I would say ya it is just vanilla scheming right now, but [BLEEP], we always run vanilla scheme every single year even in the regular season. We refuse, I mean actually refuse to play man coverage bump n run. We refuse to do more than maybe a couple zone blitzes a game.

We literally run the same BS each play. And this is just the pass D, the run D got beat in all areas which is absolutely unbelievable considering we have malik jackson and calai campbell on this line. Absolutely pathetic.

Then on top of that, I still see our corners on deep balls just run with their back to the ball and then swiping at the WR frantically instead of turning their head to locate the ball once they have recovered to their man. Like, these are NFL coaches coaching these guys, how on earth is this acceptable?

Our linebackers must be trained to stand in their spot in zone and stare at the QB and never look around quickly to read and react to routes and guys crossing, because each and every year our LB's just stand still in their zone as if the QB is supposed to throw them the ball if they stand there long enough. And each year it isn't corrected, so it must be what they teach
