I'm an Elko and Klien guy. They are still my DC and OC. I don't want anybody fired. We were 11-0, now 11-1. Nobody would have thought that at the beginning of the season. Don't get me wrong, I'm pist0ff, as I hate to lose to anyone--much less tu. However, we still have a season to finish and a championship to win. Who knows, maybe we fall to an 8-seed, the wh0r3n$ rise to a 9-seed, and we meet again in the first round at Kyle Field.
That being said, I'm so disappointed with Elko as to his performance last night. If I'm not mistaken, Manning had a few runs up the middle on some drop backs in the first half. Why didn't he have someone spying him as we did the SoCarol qb? My goal if I were the DC would have been "don't let Manning beat me!" in the second half, especially with the run, as we didn't sack him too often throughout the game.
As to Klien, I don't recall (I could be wrong) hardly any play actions and throwing deep the entire game. We had people in motion requiring the wh0r3n$ to defend sideline to sideline, but I don't recall too many passes greater than 20 to 30 yards down the field. You have to do this periodically to keep the defense honest (softening the short pass routes and opening up the run game), along with you hopefully either get completions and/or DPI.
I don't know if this has been discussed, if so flame away and/or delete.
