[QUOTE="easyk83, post: 746210, member: 8895"] From what I watched yesterday I saw plenty of players on defense who looked good and looked like players out there. Clark and Lowry are both quality DLs, Martinez is good, King looked good, Randall even had a pretty good game again. Burnett was very good and Matthews still looks fast and explosive out there. IMO the problem isn't the talent it's the scheme. It's too complicated too sophisticated and the players struggle to execute it and always have. As for the pass rush there were some simple ways to generate a rush last night, in particular get Matthews out wide more often and let him aggressively attack the edges. If they use an RB to chip him on the outside then start firing ILB blitzes between the RT and RG. I really didn't see any of this last night. Offensively my God as soon as Detroit realized that MM wouldn't let Hundley throw more than 5 yards it was game over on that side of the ball and MM obliged them, until late in the second half when Detroit's defense backed off and those intermediate to downfield passes would have been harder to complete. MM isn't an idiot but he's about as close minded as you can be as a Coach in the NFL. Quite frankly it takes him too long to figure things out and make corrections. Jet sweep on fourth down, that's a gutsy and possible play call... unless you've spent the entire game telling the defense that the flats are the only part of the field that you're willing to throw to and so they start aggressively scheming for that part of the field.
