A couple of things about the 3rd downs that come into play. We had a true freshman play a ton of snaps at DB and though he played well, it’s part of the equation.
I love Giffords effort and the story, but man….missed tackles, bad angles, etc. Not just him, but we need to clean that up.
We blitz more next year, which will be likely, and we’ll be leaving the DB’s on an island. Have to get there more and not just with pressure. I’d also like to see a little different approach with some of the man coverages and how our corners play the receiver. I suspect that’s coming, but we’ll have to wait.
