[QUOTE="spartansstink, post: 132833698, member: 1488840"] It's part of Brown's inconsistency. One always has to take into account the defense adjusts also but Brown always seems to go away from what was working to try something else. Then, stays with it until something bad happens and then goes away from it. It gets to a point where Brown becomes the worst thing that can happen to a coach - you become predictable. When the other side knows what you are going to run, when the fans know what you are going to run, and you run what everyone expects you are going to run, your team is in trouble. Sometimes you are just better and the other team can't stop you ala Okie State. But, when your competition is equal or better you're toast. The weakness of this team is the secondary, particularly the corners. Safeties aren't world beaters either. I understand not wanting to get beat deep trying to play man and if you have a mobile QB you can get burned. But, Bect wasn't mobile. He's a sitting duck if the pressure comes and requires him to make an accurate deep throw, which isn't his strength, or to check down quick which allows you to rally to the ball. Instead, we drop into a zone, get concrete shoes, and allow a pass beyond the sticks before rallying to the ball. It's frustrating.... [/QUOTE]
