That's where you have to use your spidey sense....standing back and letting them get 7 easy yards from a slow TE is not an option if you want to win. Just saw another game losing soft coverage.And if you miss, he's gone. We already have 9 guys in the box to stop the run. You bring him up and there's nobody back there
It feels like one big part of that is the numbers game right now. 6-7 blockers going up against 4-5 defenders, and then when NU linebackers come in, they're having to make up for lost ground from their position at the second level. By that point, Iowa's line is 2-3 yards down field.Man some of these off tackle plays...,off the snap it looks like our d just gets swallowed by their line.
Even the announcers called out on it. Commenting that Easily doesn't have break away speed. Why have Neal so far off.4th and 3 and our coverage looks like it was 4th and 30
Truth. Be aggressive to try and force something. Anything to quit letting them eat up 6 miin drives...That's where you have to use your spidey sense....standing back and letting them get 7 easy yards from a slow TE is not an option if you want to win. Just saw another game losing soft coverage.
