re: Dline or secondary- which was more disappointing?

They did nothing against screens and slants.

That brings up something that I didn't really understand. Why did the DBs not come up to the line and jam the receivers?? If aTm's offense is based on timing and speed, wouldn't that have helped in trying to create come confusion amongst their offense? I understand that the DBs are young, but it seemed like they were always playing 5-7 yards off.

Anyone with greater insight on this?
