My biggest disappointment was the defense. Couldn't get off the field, and then Leddie Brown wore them down.
The strategy seemed to be make Doege make plays. Well, from what I've seen of him, he looks pretty good with his feet set - accurate. Can pick you apart. But once he has to move around he goes from good to bad really fast. And we got zero pressure on him. He looked great all day, completing outs for 8 yards like a machine.
Our plan seemed to be to cover, but they flat out couldn't. Whether that's cause the DBs suck in coverage, or it was wet, or no one can cover for 12 seconds... probably some of all of that. But I think the plan should have been to press him much more and make him make mistakes. Yes you give up a few big plays, but they were scoring in 9 plays, what's the harm if they score in 4? I think JH was afraid to try too much pressure with Rose out. But he's 100000x smarter than me, so maybe that was the right plan and it just wasn't executed worth a damn. IDK.
Anyway, the defense sucked. It happens. No Rose, tackling in the rain was poor, they got wore out on the road after a physical game.
