Yea it really stands out. It’s odd.

We rely a lot on trying to run people off and then come back to the ball. But no one is scared of us running by them and so they are all over it. It’s just tight coverage everywhere. And the QB isn’t accurate enough to make those throws in to tight windows consistently.

I’m surprised how simple the route combinations are and how easy our WR are to cover. It’s a problem. It’s a small sample size, so hopefully things change, but it’s looked the same in the first two games for sure.
