For the last time, pees had the potential to call some absolutely brilliant games, he did it fairly often, but in the big games, it always seemed that he was too arrogant to make the proper adjustments, guys were often used out of position as a form of deception, and players were often put in a spot where they had no chance to execute if the play had been diagnosed by the offense. and the players, as they’ve stated, were shackled to his scheme. When you have guys like weddle and Mosley and Suggs, god dammit they’re probably all 3 in the top 15 smartest defenders in the league, let them have input.
Pees gameplan would look brilliant, until late in the game when we had exhausted most of our looks and the qb had gotten familiar and figured out the looks. Then the qb can just spot the blitzes and drops all over, and when you have weddle blitzing and Mosley and Jefferson as the deepest zone drops, and ZDS and Pierce and judon as your primary pass rushers, then you aren’t using your talent well either. That wasn’t a specific play I had in mind, it’s just the kinda shit pees used to do, and it’s the kinda shit that caused him to blow games for us. He was a genius until a qb forced him to change it up, which he always failed to, and when his defense gets “figured out” it becomes REALLY bad because then you can’t count on talent to save it, because all the talent is being fucked over by the scheme.
