Blake probably could have run for the first on that late fourth down as well. 

On the zone stuff, they didn't really play it that much, but man was it ugly a few times. I hope they make some adjustments there moving forward. I'd like more aggressive press coverage more often too.

It would be prudent if they can come up with a mixed man/zone coverage to keep the opposing offense off-balance, not just man-exclusive or zone-exclusive setups. But if zone were to work, we need a penetrating edge rusher, DE or LB.

They could have run more rollouts or option plays, but they didn't. I hope this game will serve as a lesson burned into their memories and use it for improvement. 

Like in chess - you don't get stronger by finding stronger moves, you get stronger by getting rid of your weaknesses.

I'm not saying he's done a bad job, the team is well prepared. I just don't get it why we stop being "ourselves" and let the D be more aggressive when we are up with a lead. Even against the Steelers the cushion we were giving them was absurd.
It wasn't that bad today but definitely not enough.

I can understand Hackett having to scheme around our QB weaknesses and therefore getting too conservative (still should have been more creative) but Wash literally has all the talent to be more aggressive and I hope they improve that.

Bortles didn't do a bad job, but I was expecting more play-action to help him out.

You do realize that eliminating Bortles' weaknesses is the main reason that they are so limited on offense when they haven't crossed midfield, right? 
In terms of the defense and this concept, I couldn't agree more.  They need to play aggressive from start to finish.  Watching Telvin drop with Cooks 4 or 5 times was ridiculous.
