If you haven't seen the replay yet, both of our LBs fly after the tailback and both of them have their backs to Relf as he's 15-20 yards down field.

That's one of my big gripes with Nix. He doesn't teach assignments. They are asked to fly to the football, so it's just a pure guess. How does a guy break a run like that? Real simple, 2-3 players take themselves out of the play without anyone having to block them. People wonder why we've had so many big plays against our defense this year. That's why. We always have guys guessing and getting out of position.

Yes, I saw that. Both safeties and a LB were in full chase mode going after :perkins. Relf was 12 yards downfield before they knew where the ball was.

After the fake to Perkins there were no defenders between the DL and the goal line 90 yards away.
