Would LeBeau call the game different than Dom? Would he put players in different positions? What is Dom not doing right? He blitzes, he moves players around and subs to keep them as fresh as possible?
Sorry, there are only so many things you can do. And none of it hasn't been seen before.
Dom can call all the exotic blitzes and coverages he wants, but if the players do not execute it doesn't matter what he calls.

Some of them really rose to the occasion and made plays on the ball, stopped DAL from scoring TDs, holding them to FGs instead, making some pretty big stops and game changing plays. The kind of thing we have been looking for through much of the season.
I do think our defense plays better when Richardson is in there vs. Jennings. Maybe a couple of other substitutions work better. Brad Jones seems to struggle. Josh Boyd looked good in his first real action. Who knows? Maybe they get this dialed in proper…
We all know Dom has been without key components to make his D truly successful, at a number of positions. If they get better play from some select players, maybe they do turn it around, and his D will actually work better than we might have imagined.
