[blue_gold_84]

The definition of a Jekyll & Hyde game. An incredibly strong first half and then a completely pathetic second half.

I'm at a loss with this team.

Very interesting.  And who says MOS never gives us any actual insight!  Y'all just aren't patient enough 

He talks about maybe our D having 2 modes: "attack" mode vs "secure" mode.  He says secure mode is more a clock killing thing, and probably means keep everything ahead of you, not give up explosions, etc.  I guess attack mode would be playing guys closer, taking more risks to maybe get more INTs or disruptions or immediate tackles.

So that whole "we need to stop them driving 40Y to get in FG range so why are we playing 15Y off every REC" thing that basically everyone has noticed is a CHOICE ("secure" mode) and if MOS/Younger want they can switch to "attack" mode.

Now, the big question for me is, is MOS talking about Younger/Hall being in the wrong mode, or the players?  Because I'm not sure it's MOS's job to tell the D what to do.

And the other question is, wouldn't Younger/Hall just know this?  Who on earth would be thinking tied with 1:30 left that you're trying to just kill clock??  Something doesn't smell right here.  Though I still appreciate the insight.
