What was peculiar was the D-call.
I would expect some sort of tango between KJ and Quin (switching).
The way Quin was positioned, there was no way he can defend that wheel route due to the natural barrier created by the slot receiver and KJ.
It was an 8-man blitz.
If the Texans were to play straight man like that, it would make more sense to have Quin play on the LOS.
If the receiver beats the jam, Quin probably would have to commit PI to prevent the TD.
I'm not so sure the coaches put the players in a position to succeed on that play.
My beef with Bush on this play is that we've seen it at least half a dozen times, we defend it the same way every time, & we get beat on it every time.
If they were playing man, KJac has got to be on the line, to jam his man at the line, preventing Holmes from running the underneath unabated. I'm more apt to blame the rookie than the DC with a veteran defensive staff..... maybe Bush is a rookie DC, but he's got LB coaches, DB coaches, DL coaches, Defensive assistant coaches & a whole slew of people who have seen the same thing we've seen multiple times.
if the coaches are telling both DBs to play back off the line like that, they need to be playing zone... with a man look. the only option is to switch.
Quin should hold his ground, & watch the QB for the slant. He needs to keep one eye on the outside receiver and roll with him if he gets behind him. If the receiver in front of him runs straight at him, or tries to slant inside, he's still got it covered.
KJac needs to be doing the same thing..... he needs to keep the inside receiver in the corner of his eye, if the inside receiver cuts out, he's got to switch... no other option, he has to stay on top of him, & not allow him into the end zone unabated, there is no way for Quin to get to the outside. Quin would have to take the outside receiver, the fade will still be difficult to defend, but he won't be 3 yards behind... he should still be able to make a play.
But overall, I agree there is something wrong with the coaching, if this keeps happening again & again, & this does.
A player falling down all the time, I can't blame that on the coaches, but this..... this has got to be a coaching issue.
