Message: [QUOTE="DomeHolmes, post: 5221198, member: 10113"] almost everything that went wrong in the first half went right in the second half yesterday except for the defensive line. However, I do not blame the players. This is a coaching issue. When we had a four man line or rushed five, good things happened all day long, and when we went to our three man line or prevent defense, we got gashed all day. Unfortunately, despite the results, we went with the three man line on probably 75% of the snaps. On obvious/likely run downs we had a defensive tackle, and 245 pound David O and 250 pound chase Simmons on the line. They were getting pummeled at the line of scrimmage. Finally, the use of Diggs at middle linebacker or spy is perplexing. He is too slow for the position, and does not shoot the gaps consistently, often just plays on his heels, and not quick enough to track down the quarterback once he scrambled. He needs to be on the line of scrimmage. [/QUOTE]
