Here is something that really bothered me last monday night. Everyone was railing ray and offense and so forth, which is justified. But noone really saw or metioned what i saw in our defense.
Our defense is boring! they are so vanilla! they always have been! what is with this scheme? Its a no brainer what the jets will do to us. I think you will see what i mean sunday night. they were blitzing just for the sake of blitzing. our Lb's stay way back and never crouch the line of scrimmage. you would think that with so many teams loading up the line and stopping our run game that we would do the same. nope. not us. we are different. we dont use our LB's at all. they come out on 3rd down anyways and we use about fifteen DB's and then we dont even come after anyone with them. ok, the occasional blitz or whatever, but by then the damage is already done. This is going to be a problem down the line. if you see some good stuffing defense this week i will take it with a grain of salt. we will just go back to vanilla by the time we get to a game that means the whole season. which this is one of them.
