Some of this may be attributed to the awful tackles and fundamentals.  We are not an in your face, press, physical type of D.  We're a soft, give a big cushion and don't get beat deep kind of D.Our defensive scheme is an invitation to opposing offenses to sustain long drives.  The Lions could have run that slant all day on us.  The number of times this year where we've seen guys wide open in the middle of the field with no defender within 5 yards is alarming.  Its fine to speak of execution, but it's hard to believe we aren't also seeing a failure of scheme.</blockquote>
