Gruden is caught off guard by how bad our 3rd down D is? I can't believe he is surprised, given Manusky is his guy, unless he truly doesn't understand defensive football. And if that is the case, he shouldn't be a HC.
Manusky's play calling on 3rd down has been dire. Against the Bears he had MLB's covering slot receivers, called way too much zone in short down situations and couldn't dial up the pass rush when we actually had the Bears in 3rd and long.
If Manusky doesn't know how to defend 3rd down, he shouldn't be in the job. And if Gruden can't see that, he shouldn't either. The players are taking the flak for bad play calling and if everyone can see that then surely Snyder and Allen must too?
