Yessir that was a bad blown assignment by Meriweather, no argument there. The fact that we continually rush 4 and drop 7 or rush 3 and drop 8 is just so frustrating. I hate Rex Ryan and I hate the Jets but I love the style of an aggressive defense that comes after you. We continue to drop 7 on 3rd and longs and continue having trouble getting off the field. This defense works against QB's like Henne and Sanchez who will make mistakes and beat themselves, but against good QB's like Manning and Brees, you get chewed.
The problem isn't that we drop 7 - it's that we drop 7, and give a 10 yard cushion on a 3rd and 6. We've been doing it for years, and it's been driving me crazy for years. i mean, how many discussions did we have over the years about the cushions Hobbs used to give? Still seeing them, with new people.
When BB was mic'd up for the Miami game he kept saying "Let's press these guys, let's get up on them." Yet the CB's continued to play off. I don't know if its a lack of self confidence or Pees' defensive philosophy, but I don't like it at all.
Wow, I haven't heard that before. Why doesn't he change this then? I do think we don't do it nearly as often as we used to, but I'm with you in that I'd love to see more blitzing, especially from the S and MLB positions. our OLB aren't getting it done, and the CB blitz last night was a complete disaster (though hopefully one that is coach-able, so we won't see it again )
