My biggest complaint. He's still making elementary level mistakes to close out games.

I get we are a man to man team, and for most of the game we SHOULD live and die by that.

But you can't call that play on 3rd and 16 when they need a TOUCHDOWN to win and still haven't crossed midfield.

You play soft zone coverage, play contain to keep him in the pocket, and come up to make the tackle to play 4th down. So simple yet here we are putting our players in position to fail yet again after a should have been game winning drive by our offense.

Also known as prevent defense. The one that everyone complains about preventing you from winning. Just like it did to Philly last week against Atl.
