Allow me to preface this thread with saying I'm happy we won today. A win is a win, and going 7-1 on the road is so awesome for this club!
However, if there was one issue I'd like to point out, it's our defense's inability to stop the jet sweep.
Throughout the season, teams would call the jet sweep on us and they'd get a good gain on it, then go away from it.
However, the last two games have shown our defense flat out can't stop that play. Mcvay and Turned both abused us with that play using a variety of different pre snap looks and formations.
Why is this play so difficult for our defense to stop? Is the defensive end not getting upfield fast enough? Are the linebackers not setting the edge?
The only common denominator in terms of personel is Cody Barton starting both games. Clowney played last week, but missed this game.
