They played well, however our problems on D is a resut of scheme. Our corners were playing 10 yards off a group of little a* receivers and were asking for Eli to throw underneath, which he did and converted 3rd down after 3rd down. Press coverage does two things, 1 it gets in the receivers head if they can't get off the line (see Moss's reaction early in the game...he was done after that), 2 it forces the QB to wait for a route further down field meaning he has to hold the ball. Too many times yesterday Manning took a 3 or 5 step drop and let the ball fly, with an offensive line that good he'll continue to have all day to throw. The one time (at least that's the way it felt) we got pressure Eli made a horrible decision (which he does) that resulted in a pick.
I like Blanche but his scheme is way too bland. Not saying I want to see blitzs everydown, just something not so bloody conservative.
Thoughts?
