Quote:The thing that I've been concerned with goes all the way back to the Reggie Bush touchdown. Now, I don't know all the intricacies of how defensive philosophies, techniques, assignments and such. But it seems to me that a defense where one false step causes an 87 yard TD, that may not be the defense to play. I've never heard of a defense that needs to be executed perfectly in order to function, and if not done to perfection you give up huge chunk plays and 119 points in 3 weeks.

 

The Panthers D got destroyed yesterday by plain old power rushing up the middle. Sometimes it doesn't matter what you scheme, the players are better. Sometimes, like with our seam/zone problems you have to try something else because the weakness is too great. Sometimes you don't have a few pieces needed to be effective, or you don't have the right pieces making plays. In our case it's probably a bit of all of it.
