mountainwampus Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Mario & Hughes were sidelined? Resting? I heard some discussion about this on radio. Marrone apparently pushed the blame on Schwartz saying that it was just their time to rotate out and that they thought Pats would just run it to kill clock. Either way, our Superstar Defensive Ends should be playing every snap of that drive. Marrone should know better than to let that happen. Who knows, that lack of pass rush could've been the factor that lost us the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy in 4C Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Agreed. We had them on their 6 yardline. Needed a stop early to get good field position. Those guys are in shape and need to be on the field for what could have been their last series of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardinalScotts Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 They NEVER ran to Mario side- not ONE play- Hughes was used all day thrown inside over and over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Didn't catch that... Without looking back at the details of the situation, it's another interesting choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBill Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Another coaching decision that certainly looks suspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without looking back at the details of the situation, it's another interesting choice Its in the Jerry Sullivan thread. If you click on his column there is details about it.

Mr. WEO Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 They NEVER ran to Mario side- not ONE play- Hughes was used all day thrown inside over and over He had 3 tackles, 2 on runs. He had one sack. Otherwise, Brady was not bothered much by Mario. Hughes had 5 tackles and a sack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to love in-game adjustments. We've rarely seen that in the past 15 seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows, that lack of pass rush could've been the factor that lost us the game. Run out the clock? That's a big fat zero on that hunch. Good teams have a different mentality, they go for the knockout. As for resting, they get six days to rest after the game is over and I'm not taking two of my best defensive players off the field unless they are physically or mentally unable to perform. That wasn't the case here. When you hear things like this in losing efforts like this is a series of blunders, some small, some bigger, that by themselves aren't enough to lose the game but combined and put together doom you to losing. I liked the Marrone hire but am starting to reconsider my view and wonder if he's got a grip on the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
