heatherman basically blames everything on missed tackles and not swarming to the ball. said they evaluated whether they got outschemed and decided no, they didn't.

do I trust that, or do I trust 9999 knowledgeable posters and ahmmon richards that say yes, we got out-schemed?

Belichick even said they don’t switch up anything on defense and said what you see is what you get
 
I really like Heatherman and ain’t gonna bail yet like a lot are.

But **** that quote from Bill ***** is damning. Ultimate slap in the face.

It was more than what you see is what you get. It’s these guys didn’t only not change up in game while getting burnt, this is all he’s capable of.

he also gave an example when they told a safety they were going to change the play and the safety jumped the route early. he mentioned guys jumping routes early and also getting bullied on blocking the screens.

i agree with him. we make our tackles and swarm and play with more energy we stop them 3-4 times and it is a different game.

mario mentioned the lack of energy 3 times since the end of the game sometimes its hard for us to gauge that on TV, easier to gauge on the field
 
Honestly, I just listened to Heatherman speak and went back to watch a bunch of those plays he cited off memory (psycho). I’m not picking up the doom and despair of 2024.

…he’s right? On a lot of it. Over-pursuit, falling for eye-candy, too-aggressive on the front 7 (mostly our LBs) while soft on the back end.

At the end of the day, the results aren’t good enough and everything will funnel back to the person in charge. His swarm mentality (which is nothing like Guidry) will lead to violent play (which conversely, we’ll have to live with some over-pursuit, missed tackles, etc).

I’m not sure if he doesn’t trust our corners to play man. Even if so, we have to mix up our secondary and back end looks more, or rotate a more balanced LB out there with Toure or Smith.

But I don’t think certain play calls were as bad as made it on here (surprise). Big game for the defense Saturday.

Multiple things can be true at once. I wish they taught that in school.

Yes, we could have sucked at tackling and ‘swarming’

AND

QBs can be insanely comfortable throwing into windows for multiple weeks now and WRs don’t have anyone around them. We don’t break up passes or make too many plays on the ball.

So, I don’t know, a little worried about the black/white logically flawed thinking.

Not tackling well is a contributing factor to having one of the worst pass defenses in the country (all while facing a bunch of mid passing offenses and QBs) but you dont get to a ranking this low without scheme playing a major role unless you have the talent of Akron. We may not have the same talent as last year but we are not Akron.

I really hope this is coach speak and he doesn't truly believe what he is saying.
