Our defense asks a lot of our DBs. Even before a play happens, there's evidence of that. We play with only 2 LBs. So, our DBs have to come up and make a lot of plays.
Today, we asked way too much of our DB's. Our D Line got little to no pressure on Cousins. Do you realize how taxing that is on DBs? Add to that, the leader in the defensive backfield goes out with an injury in the 2nd half. Even more harm came from 2 of our starting LBs were injured. With Demario out and Gay's injury on the 1st series, that left Werner and Demarco Jackson. Jackson was not playing very smart. I'm not sure why DA didn't give Orji some snaps.
If you replay the game, you will see a defensive backfield that was run ragged and played an outstanding game...including Adebo. His coverage was tight the whole game, other than this play, and I'm not sure why he doesn't get safety help when your other outside CB is Lattimore and there was 100% chance of a passing play. Since we play with 2 LBs, there is no reason for Adebo to remain alone in coverage on man press with 5 DBs.
Go easy on him. He had a very good game and is hardly the reason we lost this game. This was a total team loss.
