Can someone with more X and O experience help me understand why this defense with players like the DTs, Luvu, Wagner and Chin can't stop the run? Are they making halftime adjustments because it always improves as the game goes on.
Like the Bears game I was frustrated that the opponent was still in the game, we need to bury teams when we have them down.
With that said after a Giants score, when they really needed the offense to stay on the field and produce points. they did that 2 times with 2nd half drives that resulted in points.
The pass protection was excellent, no sacks and really not that much pressure given the opponent.
I was happy for C Rod. He provided huge runs late when they were needed. But he is still our 4th RB and a marginal NFL player, what happened to Eckler and McNichols?
OK so it was a bit boring but winning in NY is something new and I'll take it.

I think the their problems stopping the run stems from their problems in the secondary. yesterday they shut the pass down completely for a while, but couldn't stop the run. they came out in the second half and shut the running game down, but then had difficulties in pass coverage. I think they are being forced to use the LB's and safeties to help out in i coverage and it is opening up the running lanes a bit . . . if we could trust our corners to cover without as much assistance we could be better against the run!!
