There are a few fundamental things I do not like about Blache's defenses.

1) They do not disguise anything. When a player is going to blitz they give it away by crowding the line of scrimmage, telegraphing that they are coming. They do not do a good job of disguising their coverages in the secondary and gap responsibilities on the D-line. That is just poor coaching. The element of suprise is very important in football. Only super talented teams can get away with telegraphing what they are going to do becasue they are going to beat you with shear superior ability. Sorry, we are not that good.

2) I do not like the way Blache has used some of his players. The obvious one, J. Taylor is not a strong side RDE. Put him where he blongs on the weakside RDE position. Playing Smoot over Hall and Springs. He has not situation substituted his LB's enough. I do like that he benched Rocky after a miserable 1st half last week, but itcame a game too late.
Rocky is a little light in the size department. Fincher played much more physical and played well in place of Rocky. I would play Finher and Blades on the outside on obvious running plays. Teams are going to continue to run at our DE's, so our OLB bettter be able to stop the run. Bring Rocky in on obvious pass plays to use his speed to cover backs.
