Vic's game plans have been horrendous the last 2 weeks.

He blitzed Brady 3 times and Brady was 0-3 with an INT

Vic is way over-rated. And some people wonder why he hasn't garnered attention as a HC candidate.

That’s because he wasn’t expecting it. You blitz him 1 too many times and he will torch you. You must keep your defense completely unpredictable post snap with Brady, which is exactly what Fangio did. He rushed 3 often, which Brady never saw on tape. He lined up Floyd in the slot numerous times, also not seen before. I don’t fault Fangio at all for his gameplan. I do think Fangio should have been more aggressive with his secondary.

You need to pressure Brady. Dropping Floyd and Mack was clearly useless, neither did anything.

I fault him that he continues to run soft zone, when his LBs have no awareness, and his DBs cannot tackle.

The real question is what happens if the defense continues to struggle?

Too much talent and investment for this to be okay for more than a game or 2.

Why are we so convinced our defense has so much talent? The idea seems largely predicated on the idea that Trevathon, Jackson, Amos, Floyd, Smith, and Amakamaru are more than just guys.

Most of those guys have shown that they are more than just guys.

If they are actually just guys that falls on Ryan Pace, but I do not think we have a talent issue on defense.

Never recovered after Mack’s leg amputation surgery.

1.) Zero pressure from Floyd ( only faces 1 on1)
2.) Terrible angles and tackling from both safties (cost atleast 2 games)
3.) Fangio’s bland game plan
