They may line up only 5 yrds. out, but before the ball is snapped, they are fading backwards and then when the ball is snapped they are a true 10 yrds. off. All the receiver has to do is sell a go route and stop at 10 to 12 yrds. and he's open.

but we don't give up the "big play", just the easy first down yardage,,, of course we actually do give up big plays, but that doesn't seem to stop the silliness of sticking to this soft coverage scheme.

It's the refusal to adjust much like when Steckel would not give up on the 3-4 dumpster fire of a scheme last season and cost us a possible conference championship. Pinkel has to intervene at times to snap Steckel out of his do or die ways.

It's hard to say who is more clueless on defensive scheming, Pink or Stec, and no, there will be NO QUESTIONS about the coaching allowed!!

Would be nice to help his defense recognize the screen also. He can't seem to figure that one out either.

hi-tech, new fangled football plays like the screen, some year our million dollar coaches might devise a counter for such devious and shrewd tactics.
