Lance Briggs assumes blame for coverage breakdown

by Rich Campbell

Chicago Bears linebacker Lance Briggs on Wednesday assumed blame for an incorrect pre-snap check that led to a coverage breakdown on the Green Bay Packers' 73-yard touchdown pass in Sunday night's 55-14 defeat.

On the play, cornerback Tim Jennings appeared to play Cover-2 when the rest of the secondary played Cover-3. Receiver Jordy Nelson was wide open on the third-and-11 pass and scored easily.

"I shouldn’t have made the check," said Briggs, who calls plays in the huddle and is responsible for some pre-snap checks. "I saw something, tried to check out of it, and we don’t have a check out of that defense. So I put our defense in jeopardy on that play."

Defensive coordinator Mel Tucker acknowledged the late check was a key factor in the coverage breakdown.

"It is something that quite frankly just can’t happen," Tucker said Wednesday.

Tucker dismissed the notion that communication between players and him might be made simpler.

"We just have to get better executing what we have, period," he said.

Well Lance if you wouldn't zone out in meetings, maybe this wouldn't happen

Exactly who are they "coaching"?

Yeah, and that's what really does it for me. Attempted murder in my book.

Yeah, it should.

Why is Allen talking about Peterson's son that passed away last year? Old news.

 

[Choisauce]

maybe they arent changing anything because it's all a master plan to fail miserably for high draft positions.

Peterson didn't even know that kid. Never even had the chance to get him in the whipping room.

Well then I can say without a doubt this coaching staff lost our trust as fans. As did Phil Emery.

I agree, their continued trust in cutler is astounding.

While to Bears fans and other observers, the defensive performance in recent games seems like a total collapse _— with players making incorrect adjustments and players out of position — Tucker said “It’s not all bad. Just a matter of fixing a few breakdowns that are proving costly.

“When you break it down and you take 60 or 70 plays, there are four or five plays where we were not good,” Tucker said. “So you focus on fixing things that are happening on those plays. There are other plays that we played good football. And you want to build on those plays.

Fucking idiot.
