For the first time in the Hueple era the team came out flat and seemingly unprepared
We were flat outplayed
On offense we were just a little off. On most nights we wouldn't have noticed it but Hooker was just a bit late or high several times tonight
I've come to realize the Pitt game wasn't a fluke that the pair of Hooker and Tillman are a liability as Hooker looks first to Ced most every play
What that results in is that when Hooker does go to another receiver often the timing is off - saw that at least twice on passes to Hyatt
I noted it in the game thread but we went with 4 WRs a lot tonight and the pair of Hyatt and Squirrel together is a potent combination going forward
Bru didn't play the last 3/4 of the 2nd half, didn't appear injured on the sideline
On defense we flat sucked
The DL had ZERO pressure most of the night and the few times they got pressure we had no contain
The LBs were pretty much a non factor most of the night and were a huge liability in the throw game in zone or man
We played 4 corners tonight with near zero effectiveness by all 4
A few times that were in position (or should have been) to make plays and seemed to wonder what this object was coming their way
The two starters regressed badly from the previous 2 games, the b/u demonstrated why they weren't starting
The safeties? Best keep my moth shut
Bonus: Can anybody in the secondary fizzleing tackle??????????????????????
Coaching?
We had no answers with the defense, other than playing too much zone, that we have repeatedly demonstrated we can't play\
Also, we didn't handle the beat down well
We were VERY chippy
Hadden and Tillman were prime examples
At least I don't have to worry where I'm travelling to NY eve
