Were they lined up correctly?  One play that really struck me is when we 
pinned them down by the goal line for their first series of the 2nd 
half, and Purify immediately broke a big run off the right side.  As we 
were lining up for that play it looked like we were way overloaded on 
our right side, and they blasted through our barely existent left side, 
enough that I commented on it before the play took off.  I wouldn't have 
been surprised if they checked off to that play.  I already erased the 
game recording so I can't re-check the play.  Maybe it was an exception 
but it caught my attention.

CBs playing off the ball was another beef, but I don't think one of our 
cornerbacks was going to make any plays no matter where he lined up. 
Maybe he was still getting over his injury.
