What's wrong with the Titans...Defense

I believe that's "insanity" but we get your point.

I wish you could have seen Cecil and Dinger on stage on the Fisher show Tuesday night. It was pretty much fluff but Cecil did say that Fisher does not override his calls during the game. Fisher might come to him while the offense is on the field to talk strategy but Cecil is making every call while the D is on the field.

Cecil did talk about the blitz and how rookie corners changes his approach with blitzing. He basically said it was making a tough coverage situation worse unless the blitz was getting to Brady before he got the ball out. On the most part, it wasn't and it led to big plays for the Pats each time.

He also talked about the big cushion and it being a better option than getting burned long.

So the guy basically admitted Brady had the short completion all game long even on third-and-short and was unwilling to put extra pressure on his rookie corners by playing them tighter or blitzing more often.

 

That would have been a good question.

I would assume it's the same reason. Both are solid tacklers if they can stop the play before it gets a first down. What we've seen too often is that a WR remains untouched on a timing route and they know where the gaps are in the zone. Or the slant is always there allowing the WR to catch the pass in stride and pick up the first.
