Let's see. I'm at the game last night. Ball on the 20, Carolina with no timeouts, and Steve Smith and Keyshawn split to the left. They are in easy Kasay FG range, but with no timeouts they MUST go to the end zone. Inexplicably, we cover both their WR's in man to man coverage with no one behind them! Then, after the pass interference, we are in a run defense with 7 seconds left and no times outs for an easy TD, with their biggest receiver being guarded by a backup safety. Disgraceful.
A few weeks ago in the Saints game, on 3rd and 1 at the end of the game, where we HAD to have a stop, he had all 3 LB's 5 yards from the line of scrimmage. We should have been selling out to stop the play to try to get the ball back! Let's face it, JJ is getting older, and his mind will get slower, not faster. The defense, every time we scored, let the other team march right down the field.
In the Colts game, it was the most vanilla defense I have ever seen. Everyone knows that movement seems to confuse Manning, yet the Colt offense did whatever they wanted all night.
JJ is the one who wanted these smaller, quicker defensive players that cannot stop the run (McDougle, McCoy, etc.) I'm just curious whether you guys think JJ should be back?
