DA [MOD EDIT] on the last drive in regulation... (1 Viewer)

he changes the Dline call and only send 3 with 8 in coverage. We got no pressure with 3 after all game we had success with 4. Herbert completes the pass and sets up for the potential game tying FG. Of course he clanked it, but that's not the point.

8 in coverage and the wr was still open by 15 yards. That’s a busted coverage by the players, specifically the deep safeties.

I thought we sent 5 on that play and they got stone walled, but I might be wrong.

DA on a critical play is guaranteed to do something “clever.” Either rush 3, send 5 where the fifth is insanely obvious and picked up easily, or go cover 0.

The more critical the play the more likely rushing 3 or cover 0.

Didn’t we show cover 1 on the play? Did he really think he’d fool them into believing we were playing the sticks? It was a dumb call.

"8 in coverage and the wr was still open by 15 yards. That’s a busted coverage by the players, specifically the deep safeties."

True, but we've seen this pattern too often to lay it all at the feet of the players. Trends -- and there are many of them -- point to this reoccurring problem to be one of coaching and scheme.

So, yes the players are messing up, but ultimately this is a Dennis Allen problem.

What has happened to his creativity? Last year he sent a blitz with CGJ off the edge to give him a fourth rusher in the Cowboys game. Now no pressure and nothing exotic or nuanced. I don’t get it.

That's not the play.

Williams went up amongst 2 defenders who were draped all over him and he made one of the most impressive catches I've ever seen in that situation.

I mean.. Allen trusted his #1 all-pro corner to cover their best receiver 1 on 1. I don’t think that’s too much to ask for.

Keenan Allen had been long gone out of the game.

You're right. That play was an amazing individual effort and the pass rush coming up short ... by nanoseconds. Frustrating...
