The primary reason Daniels scored twice, is because outside contain was not maintained.

Staying in your gap or containing the back side could be viewed as a "loaf" so over pursuit is what a lot of our guys did.

So they’re being coached to purposely not set the edge?

The Daniels bootlegs were a result of our rookie corner and DE not knowing who had the ball and biting down or delaying long enough to get blocked.

I think it was a learning lesson, because later in the game DEs and Corners were shutting it down, but that was after 2 TDs.

The Giants and just about every team we play focuses on containing the edge, but that allowed Fields a few opportunities to scramble off tackle, but most teams have had success rushing the edge AND up the Middle

Fields is not blameless, but watching Mustipher getting walked back on nearly every single pass play is just terrible.

It's quack bullshit fullstop. The team's gonna tune it out if they haven't already.
I tried telling this to ppl when Flus started talking about it and everyone tried defending it like it was some awesome concept that was gonna turn the team around lol
