More zone than I've ever seen

[korey&dante4ever]

It seemed as though after Sadeeq Shabazz (Edm. saftety) got ejected from the game the Eskimos played a ton of zone defense (and i mean A TON), which seemed to really confuse Buck and our offense. It might have been the Eskimos only choice to play zone, because when I saw Scott Coe go on to the field to play safety for the esks, even i was licking my chops in the stands.
Zone is more of a team defense and in this way it helped to "hide" the vulnerable scott coe at safety.
It's unfortunate that we werent prepared for this because even Wally said he was surprised at the amount of zone the esks played.

the coaches have never seen zone before?they had alot of time to adjust and our receivers are very talented.Buck had a lousy game and should own up to to it.

It may have been a different D than expected, somewhat forced to do when Shabazz was punted from the game, but Buck was over throwing, missing by a few yards, or not setting his feet when he had time to so, and balls were knocked down. Thankfully the Eskimo DB's don't have the hands that our DB's do, or the turnover ration would have been worse.

Sometimes you just don't have the touch, tonight that was Buck's situation, conversely some nights you can't miss and that was Ricky Ray's night.
