Missed Tackles

I don't understand how we can go from one extreme to the other!

Last week all we did was blitz and hit people, even though Gore had some running room a couple of times.

I understand G.W. not wanting to show his hand early and calling a vanilla game, but it was like we gave up as soon as they were blocked tonight.

Don't we play them in week 3 or 4? Why show them everything we have. Looks to me Houston played all out. They showed us a good running game and thats something we'll be ready for when its the real deal.

That doesn't explain the missed tackles and the piss poor coverage, even though we played most of the game in deep zone coverage.

You can tell we were being vanilla on both sides of the ball. On offense was working on small ball and screen plays. We did not open up the offense whatsoever. On defense we didn't blitz and pretty much played a basic base coverage. With all that said...

There are no excuses on all the missed tackles.

Everything else I can brush under the carpet because we do play them during the regular season.
