While I have already revealed my bias for Bradley, I don't understand all the comments here about Bradley and 'soft zone'.
In the Bears game wasn't Sherman in position to defend that completion to B Marshall but fail to make the play?
And against Atlanta-my big fear was that we would sit back on that last drive, but we didn't. We blitzed on both of Atlanta's final two plays. The players didn't get there.
This board seems to always trash our co-ordinators.
Here we had a co-ordinator who is heralded by everybody he has ever worked with and who led a #1 scoring defense that had little pass rush and we are happy to see him go??
I don't understand.
Yup. The Bears game was solely on the players...mostly Sherman.
But the Falcons game, we should have been playing man coverage instead of zone on the final drive. That is how we stopped the Falcons the previous 3 drives. That's the only complaint I had. I am glad he blitzed and just didnt play textbook prevent D. But it was still the wrong coverage called for, IMO. The Hawks were killed on zone coverage ALL DAY. To go back to it at the most critical time of the game was just bad coaching.
