1. And nobody has given me an answer. Why/how did we allow Crawford to be isolated on Rogers? Couldn't he have switched with Lewis or the other corner?

2. You describe Hamilton's mistake exactly. If he sees Crawford on Rogers, why not reduce risk and cheat to Crawford's side? Don't even pay attention to where Lawrence is looking. You have a choice of providing definite help at the weakest point OR try to be too smart by half and follow the QB's eyes. It's not like you don't know Lawrence is back there and is capable of anything. Leave Lewis on an island and help your weak link.

Maybe that's not reasonable. I don't know.

I don't believe illusions because too much is for real.

A question for those more knowledgeable about football than me. RE: defensive problems vs Clemson. - NDavenue - 10:51am 12/23/20 (22) [View All]
- Part of the problem is that we gave them SO MANY shots at our defense so early. - jakers - 3:43pm 12/23/20
  - Great point that shows how an offense can hang a D out to dry - Chrisb - 8:15pm 12/23/20
  - Good point. [NT] - NDavenue - 3:57pm 12/23/20
- Rodgers is not their #1 WR - kgirish - 3:06pm 12/23/20
  - How so? Rogers has far more targets, receptions, yards and TDs. Sounds #1 to me. [NT] - NDavenue - 3:20pm 12/23/20
    - Either could be considered a #1 WR - ndunabomber - 5:27pm 12/23/20
    - I recall Herbie saying Powell was #1 during the game - kgirish - 3:35pm 12/23/20
- from a Podcast I heard - pvm71 - 1:06pm 12/23/20
- It is difficult for any defensive back to stick with a speedy receiver when pass protection is solid - THEISMANCARR - 12:54pm 12/23/20
- On the particular play you mention - NDNEIL - 12:01pm 12/23/20

      - Thanks. [NT] - NDavenue - 3:56pm 12/23/20
    - It did not matter who was on him since the play was to fool the safety and it set up the speedy - THEISMANCARR - 12:56pm 12/23/20
  - Another killer is the 3d and short option... - Nostradamus - 12:15pm 12/23/20
- Defense didn't play bad, but to me seemed like their intensity towards stopping the run wasn't - Chrisb - 10:59am 12/23/20
  - We also failed to tackle Lawrence when we had him in the pocket multiple times. - jakers - 3:44pm 12/23/20
    - For sure! Margin for error gets thin in these big games - NDNEIL - 9:14am 12/24/20
    - Yep. [NT] - Chrisb - 8:05pm 12/23/20
  - Felt like they were on skates. - NDNEIL - 3:30pm 12/23/20
  - it is interesting how much designed runs for the QB open up the running game...much better than scra - WestCoastIrishFan - 11:48am 12/23/20
  - They were ok. It was just those 3 or 4 big plays. - NDavenue - 11:03am 12/23/20
