Because I am not going to get into a 10 page argument on this. If you want to argue with yourself, fine. I stated pretty clearly that the players blown the tackles. I also stated that the scheme was stupid for this play.
The team was going over the middle with inside the tackle rushes and passes over the middle to the slot (scott) or TE (oleary). Knowing their OL was mauling our DT, you would think you would provide coverage or help over the middle. The closest second line of defense to that same group that was getting their asses kicked was a lone safety 9 yards deep. If you don't think having a body in the circle area below is more important than having a safety so off the screen, you would think their were only 10 men in the play, and this is the correct scheme for this play, then you deserve to keep rooting for Dorito as your D coordinator.
First of all, if it were my decision I would give D'Onofrio his walking papers. Alignment wasn't the issue on this play because McCord was in position to make the play and Fentress should have been there.
