More on this coming today, but pretty much. It was just like the Dolphins game. They were in position to make plays, especially on third downs but they just missed the tackles or slipped.
Then the problems were compounded by guys like Chandler Jones and Dont’a Hightower trying to do too much. Both played over-aggressive which opened up more seams in the defense.
Jones’ play on the edge was not good, he lost contain thinking he had the ability and quickness to cut inside on the tackle. It didn’t work and there were at least three big gains run right past him.
I know how bad the result looked but I still have hope for the defense if they can just find some consistency. They’re there to make the plays and get off the field, they’re just not finishing.
