Phil Snow (Burns)

[Peon Awesome]

Yikes.. I mean Burns is athletic enough to be decent in coverage but he's an elite edge rusher. Why did we invest so much in the secondary only to rely so much on our pass rushers to help out? You draft Horn in the 1st, Chinn in the 2nd, resign Donte, trade a 3rd for Henderson, but you need Burns to help them out?

I've also noticed that they keep McCaffrey in the backfield to help with blocking the majority of the time. Why have the best receiving rb in the NFL and rarely use him as a receiver? Especially after putting so much effort on rebuilding the O line and hiring a new O line coach. I realize the line is still shaky, but hell put Foreman in the backfield to help block and kick McCaffrey out wide a few times if you have to. We have only a handful of stars and we're not maximizing their talents.

Between this and Chinn only in the box 20-30% of the time, and on offense the inability to carve easy plays for CMC and DJ, this is the most inept coaching staff from a playbook creation standpoint I've maybe ever seen.

It's like they don't understand the talent at their disposal.  At all.

Burns, Chinn, CMC, & DJ should be the focal points of this team and we're not building anything for them rather jamming them into a 1999 Madden preset playbook.

Sounds about right. I noticed him being assigned receivers and zone coverage often.

I actually wish our top guys could leave during our awful stretches. We waste their prime years.

[My Goodness My Guinness]

I was wondering what I was seeing as well. I locked in on Burns one of those plays and it looked like he was spying Jones. 

[MasterAwesome]

I could rationalize doing this on a handful of plays here and there to disguise different blitzes and confuse the offense, IF you have a formidable pass rush elsewhere on your d-line.  But dropping your only proven pass rusher into coverage 15 times??  F that.

Like I said before. Theres talent on defense it's just poorly coached.

Every deep ball Jones attempted, Chinn was like 10 yards away from the spot every time. He is not good back there. So pointless

[Fright]

Fire the DC who thinks putting Burns in coverage is cool and the coach who allows it. 

[Basbear]

the same rage when turdovac would drop Peppers in coverage...

Using Chinn as the single high Safety is in my top 5 rage issues. "lets take our best defender and play him as far away as we can each snap, fugking brillant!!"

[ZoneRead]

Get these college coaches the hell out of here.

[WOW!!]

This is the same argument we had with Fox, Rivera and Capers.. All defenses now drops pass rushers in coverage.. Not defending Snow at all but this isn't a Carolina concept.. Every team does it for some reason..
