They had thier chances...And on more talented teams. Thier defenses were the ones that let the big games slip away. All they need to do is look in the mirror.
As much as I loved (and still love) JT and Zach, Zach did and does a lot of the same bone-headed stuff that some of us (myself included) berate Channing Crowder for. He takes himself out of a lot of plays by blitzing or being in the wrong gaps. He's invisible in pass coverage and he has difficulty shedding blocks. I'm saying this to say we need to be more even-handed (read: objective) when doling out criticism of players past and present.
