DA is gone. Don’t jump on the disrespect, he did a lot of good here
Even at its best, his defenses could never hold on to a last minute lead. How many last minute game winning drives were wasted over the past 10 years because of this?
So I was curious to answer my own question. So I went back and checked the box scores for the past 10 years that he has been in charge of the D. I looked for games where we scored a game tie-ing or game "winning" score with less than 3 minutes in the game an checked the results:
5 game tie-ing scores under 3:00
- 2 blew the tie and lost in regulation
- 1 held on to tie lost on OT
- 2 held on to tie, won in OT
14 what could've/would've been game winning scores under 3:00
- 5 blew the lead and lost in regulation
- 1 other team tied and we eventually lost in OT*(NOLA No Call)
- 1 gave up lead but offense won it again with :21 left
- 6 held on to win
- 1 clinched win with pick 6
