Totally agree.

Now I'm no expert, but I do know that when the defensive line doesn't get any pressure on the quarterback, it makes the secondary's job a lot harder.
The corners played too far off the wr's. I thought the line got push, but Campbell did a good job of releasing early. The CB's always looked like they were 10 feet away.
