re: The blame for this loss is on the defense and the coaching staff.

The way we went for 4th downs was fool hardy. On one 4th we ran all kind of cross action and then Daniel's ran it for a loss. From the beginning of the first quarter we couldn't move their interior. I don't get lining the qb in the zone read when you've got 8-9 in the box and they can easily read and penetrate. Don't give them time. Put QB under center and run the wedge/dive. Have the running back push him too. Refs don't call that a penalty for some reason
