I've seen it all now. the 3-3-5 alignment was perfectly executed
if you watch how they lined up presnap. they dominated certain gaps (the gaps that miller/wick, and smith's lane) by presnap alignment. they would stack two linebackers to bretts side, then collapse the opposite side of the line with two lineman which effectively would string out miller or wick. they put a hell of a medium depth zone with 5 dbs. they only way to have beaten this would have been to make some adjustment within the game itself, running the ball through the 0 gap.
running a tightend through the zone would have helped as well.
our offense couldn't adjust. thank god we have a bye week.... we need to add a new wrinkle, cause franchoine just schooled our future opponents on how to beat our limited running attack by attacking the same gaps all night long.
on a side note. I don't like the longhorn network, and the 4th quarter was dismal, clairborne ran a catch out of bounds and for some reason the clock kept ticking. the refs didn't help matters. the call on the roughing the punter... REALLY? the two block in the back penalties.
we can bitch about our defense, or our offense. but last night was dirty diaper from all angles... cameras, officiating, schemes, weather, ruffran. lets see what we can change with two weeks off. need to get this engine in the shop and fix it!
