Coyer Makes Adjustments

Desperation settled into the locker room at halftime. Defensive coordinator Larry Coyer, under pressure himself because of grumbling that he doesn't do a great job communicating a complicated defensive scheme, altered his game plan. The Broncos decided to call all-out blitzes in the second half. These weren't going to be those tricky fire zone blitzes in which one or two defensive tackles drop into coverage. These were the real deals. The coverages were going to be "Cover 0," meaning there would be no safety in the second line of deep defense. Everyone was coming, and that was the plan Coyer installed at the half.

That aggressive play calling set up a perfect opportunity for Bailey to start the second half.


Gee Larry. Amazing what you can do when you just play simple football and take the complexity out of it.

Good fine It had to be something along those lines for the drastic difference we saw. Now maybe they can learn when to let the dogs loose before we are in an 11 point hole.

Funny that PFT says the defense is too simple, and ESPN says the defense was too complicated.

Both are morons, but ESPN consists of multiple morons.

It was a Miami repeat for the 1st half. D-line was inconsistent in its pressure. Walls and Bailey both played off the WRs. Bailey allows Keenan to setup SD second TD. Then the pass rush in the 2nd half and all the CBs tighten up their coverage.
