But what we did do is cover the hell out of their WRs and TE. One of the best WRs to ever play the game was held down very well until some garbage time yards got him up over 100. The thing Dom Capers is doing with his half a defense ( No Clay, No Woodson, Brad Jones at MLB, whatever nobody we throw opposite of clay due to losing another 1st round pick to serious injury) is not allowing the big play. I don't know the exact stats but, I guarantee we have given up far far far fewer pass plays of 20+ yds this year than last and I think part of that is due to us having to personnel to sit back in coverage, play a lot of nickle, and not let anyone behind the D. Sometimes when one thing isn't working (getting to the QB) it is best to put all your effort towards the next best thing (Excellent Coverage) and hope the results are in your favor. Expect Capers to really dial up the schemes and packages come this weekend and on when we have a closer to full compliment of playmakers for him to move around and put in positions to make big plays.</p></blockquote><p></p>
