Don't think he's capable. Any coordinator who rushes 3 guys againt Vick just isn't that smart to begin with. Can't give him a pass for this. Its not like he was in the wrong scheme, he was just being stupid.

Little bit of perspective here guys... we gave up 432 yards (including 358 passing yards) and 26 points to Tennessee last year. Considering that last year's Tennessee team is probably not as good as Philly this year, and that we lost by one point instead of 13, maybe we should collectively step back from the edge a bit...
They tried to rush three to discourage Vick from running and force him to make decisions into coverage, which, if you watch the game, he wasn't in the mood to run anyway. It didn't work and Celek was killing them. However, they never changed up.
If they try that mess against Brady, Flacco will have to put up 40 to win.
I'm just saying there was a very good reason for the game plan they had going in. We did hit Vick. A lot. He just got rid of the ball well. The defense in this game was definitely going to be bend but don't break and it worked well for the most part as we collected two interceptions. The series we had on the Maclin TD was pretty good but Ed Reed failed to plaster to Maclin when Vick broke the pocket.
Now... I can totally understand where you are coming from but it's all about weighing risk reward. We easily could have won this game even with giving up all those yards because we only gave up 24 points. I would have liked to see Pees put a little more pressure on the Eagles offensive line when Kelce and Dunlap went out. That's the only real issue I have.
The defense you saw last week will not be the defense you see this week.
Yes. 3 or 4 rushers 26 out of 34 pass plays, for 284 yards.
Two of their starting linemen go down, leaving only 5 available, 3rd string LT, backup center, and we don't blitz the shit out of them???
Play our corners up, bring the heat and make Vick make quick decisions.
I believe the Browns knew enough to pressure Vick.
Did Pees not know about that?
There was no adapting on either side of the ball by either coordinator.
It was the old insane notion of trying the same thing over and over that wasn't working hoping for a different result.
I literally felt ill the longer I watched this game.
