In this third part to the Devlin Hodges end of season review I’m going to talk about a number of things defenses did that Took Devlin Hodges from being a QB that was able to move the ball down the field to one that destroyed his team’s chances at a playoff berth.
One important thing to realize is it wasn’t just one good defense solving Hodges, it was a culmination of work from multiple teams to take away what Randy Fichtner had been doing to support his young QBs as well as attacking Hodges weaknesses.
In my film review of the week 13 Cleveland game (Third, fourth and fifth section ) I covered how the Browns defense took away a staple part of Fichtner’s offense under Mason Rudolph and Devlin Hodges, short crossing routes.
