It was the day after his team suffered a damaging loss to the New York Giants. Matt LaFleur stood at the podium for his news conference. He was asked about the inability of his defense to stop the Giants on the game’s final drive. Specifically, he addressed the backbreaking 32 yard completion to Wan’Dale Robinson that put New York within range of a walk off, game-winning field goal.
“Joe called man coverage, and we’re playing way off, which we shouldn’t be in that situation. We called another man coverage, and that’s when we got beat” the head coach remarked, referring to defensive coordinator Joe Barry.
