So in other words, you don't know.  

This 'adjustment' thing is so overblown.  They practice a gameplan all week and have about five minutes at halftime to make minor tweaks.  What are they going to do, formulate an entire new gameplan in 5 minutes?  I don't care what plays are called, if you're out of position or blowing your assignments...you're out of position or blowing your assignments.

The adjustments really are made throughout the game. Sometimes there isn't an adjustment to make. Sometimes you just are getting worked by a certain player.
Apparently this year, it's pass catching RBs/FBs and move TEs. 
Now I'm sure at half, the HC can get with the other coaches and say "hey we're getting worked doing x, lets do less of it, or get a safety over top from here out"
But again... those adjustments should be made throughout the game, by the coordinators.

Perhaps, Wash just doesn't have any answers in his book for what has been really effective on us, which is the short, quick inside passes to TEs and backfield guys.
Perhaps we'll have something in place the next time we face a team that utilizes what the Cards and 9ers did so well against us.
-------------------------------
I know this... of our 5 losses, the Cards and the 9ers were the only teams that consistently moved the ball on us. tacks was a low scoring defensive affair until they broke a couple late runs and our D was so tired from an ineffective O. Jests game was 2 gashing runs that was the entirety of their offense that day. And the Rams were spotted 14 by STs.




Bortles didn't have his best game this past weekend (actually was a good game outside of 2 INTs, that one was a helluva catch I don't put it on Blake), but he certainly didn't have his worst. Which this season, imo, was the Jets game. He was sub 50% comp 140 yards for a 4.0 ypa.
When the defense plays poorly and undisciplined (12 freaking penalties) this team won't win.
We can overcome a bad Blake game with this defense more often than not. But Bortles can't overcome a bad defensive game.
