Why Carr is not to blame.

Favre's 3 step drop and his passing skills totally neutralized our D scheme. I don't think any single DB could fair well in that situation. I haven't looked at the tape yet, but I wish we would have disguised some nickel coverage and mixed in some man coverage w/ a healthy bump at the line.

I'm sure Schwartz was doing the best he could, but it just seemed they had the right play dialed up EVERY time.

 

I wouldnt have minded to see Griff play CB and Nickey play FS just for this game. Carr just seems like he had Reynaldo Hill syndrome out there, never got his head around, looked intimidated and thats probably explains why he played 10 yards off the ball. But it all does start up front with the D-line and the pressure. I understand we have a solid front four and we dont have to blitz but theres going to be games(like yesterday) we're there going to slow us down, so send some people. Some times i think its stubbornness that the coaches think we're to good to blitz. We got heat on #4 but not enough, hopefully they have a better game plan against them next time we see them in the playoffs

 

Of course Carr is not to blame. Regardless of how good or bad he played this game, he is a 3 string for a reason. A guy needed to fill a spot. That's all there is to it. It's a completely different situation than when Hill kept starting with Finnegan looking from the bench.

 

The whole D is to blame for this game. The O is to blame for this game. We just need to face it, the Jets came in with a perfect game plan and worked it perfectly.

 

I noticed that whenever we did bring pressure from finny or griffen, farve would check to the slant. Not once did Schwartz drop a DE into coverage, or move one of the outside backers over to help. Capn' redhat got it handed to him yesterday. I just hope fisher can correct the error of his ways.

 

I don't put any of it on Carr, except maybe for a 1/53rd share that everybody gets.

No one on Defense was tackling well yesterday, Hope was terrible on that long run and Thornton was sliding off of people all day. I think the LBs really let us down. Strange to think of the middle as a weakness.

The lions are going to bleed for this, I feel bad for them.

 

What killed me:

If you've ever watched Brett Farve play, you know he's going to throw the slant. Why not take the slant away with the setup of the Defensive Scheme? Make the DBs take away the inside release, and that would immediately throw the timing and rythm of the passing game off. No more 3 step quick drops, our DLine would have a better opportunity to get pressure and play on their toes than heels. Bad gameplanning from the coaching staff IMO. We only used the boundary as another defender one time, when Finny got his pick. You have to close down the field against Favre, so he forces throws into coverage. Our LBs played like crap too. For someone who got picked on so much(Carr), I sure didn't see much Safety help. Very disappointed in the defense. Not nearly as good as they think they are.
