Something I have noticed about Fuller. If you look at their TDs in Q4. We had stopped them most of the game. At that point, it seems you dial-up either pressure and load the box but take some risk of giving up big play if QB makes the right play quickly. The other option is to go into pass prevent and force them to run and burn the clock. Why do we often see some weird hybrid that does not accomplish anything namely slowing them down or preventing a TD? For all three of their TD drives, we gave up some mind-numbing 3rd and long chunk plays. And did the same during the game when they did not score but hurt our field position. It comes down to coaches and/or players having zero situational awareness. On 3rd and long, you either commit to rush or commit to coverage. We often do neither. To be honest, we saw the same before Norvell and Fuller came.
