I’m more firmly on the fire Bowles train than ever. We gave up 420 yards and over 7 yards per play. That is terrible defense. Alot of those yards were super easy. Run an in or a deep crosser from a tight formation and we have a 0% chance of covering it. Teams are figuring out that we run cover 3 all the fucking time and just dial up cover 3 beaters to beat us easily. Then when we do play man coverage, it’s too obvious based on the formation, or if it’s not obvious then we’re in some wonky fucked up leverage. Bowles is really not a great DC. He draws up some nifty blitz packages and coaches good run defense but his coverage designs are really not that good. I’ve charted a bunch of our defensive playcalls this year and the deep cover 3 is just too predictable. We make any decent qb look like a superstar. The middle of the field behind the linebackers is always wide open because the middle safety is so fucking deep. We have a safety playing punt returner and covering absolutely nobody.
