I wouldn’t put it 100% on the coaches but it was very conservative on both sides. Absolutely could’ve been better.

I think Wash got into his own head on the very first play he sent a bunch of extra rushers and Gabbert beat it with the pass to the TE.

I get why Hackett was conservative since our personnel on offense is mediocre at best with all the injuries, but Wash doesn't have that excuse. I don't even think our issue was the fact our play calling was conservative, it was because it was out of the norm. We've been a great defense because we've been able to get pressure with four down linemen while our corners press on the line, so why were they playing so far off on Sunday? I get the Arizona has some speed in their receiving corps, but we've faced teams like Houston and Pittsburgh that have that speed coupled with FAR more talent. This defense doesn't need to play off man to keep everything in front of them.
