I love it when some says, "Here are the facts!" and then follows it up with opinions. Not that I disagree with those opinions however. I just find it funny.
There are what I would consider to be a lot of coaching mistakes in this season and in this game. Injuries have played a significant part in our downward spiral. Its not just Springs who is injured on the defense. Its also Prileaou, Vincent, Salvae', and Khary Campbell. But, I would attribute poor personnel decisions and coaching as the major reason for the failings on defense.
In yesterdays game, the defense was getting gouged by the Falcons run game, and they never stacked the box. People had been beating the Falcons largely because they stacked the box and defied Vick to beat them with his arm. They rushed Vick and got to him quick. The man has been sacked 34 times this year. Thier O-line can't pass block. So what do we do? Play Cover 2, and fake the blitz. It worked for the first three series. Then it stopped working, but Williams did nothing to change his scheme.
Yesterday, when we had the ball with 3 minutes left and needed two scores the offense continued to run 30 seconds off the clock between each play. Was it because Campbell wasn't able to run the hurry up offense? If so, why not?
Chad,
You don't know, my "facts" are the facts, maaaaannnnn!!!
Just kiddin'......
