I have no idea why our D line is so mediocre away from the Clink. I understand crowd noise = extra half step to the QB, but it's ridiculous that a defense that's supposedly as good as Seattle needs to send extra blitzers for most of the game on passing downs just to put a little pressure on the QB.
It doesn't help that Bradley and Carroll continue to run the same one safety high scheme OVER AND OVER AND OVER. For the love of Christ, mix it up. I know what they're thinking "oh, we trust our D, they're good enough to just play base Defense with man on man on the outside and zone in the middle." But hey Gus, once the 4th quarter rolls around and your D has given up like four leads and 15 3rd down conversions........how bout changing something?
