WE ARE NOT A BASE 34. We run a 425.
Highsmith didn't get injured until practice following last week's game. And the run defense was still awful before Porter got hurt. Lack of depth...
We haven't tried to establish the run in half a decade... Personally, I'd rather them run the ball 30X's a game the next few weeks, even if it...
I'm trying my best to be optimistic with this defense and assume they'll get this together. But they played against Fields and Sam Darnold as...
This problem is a systematic one and not just a health issue. The mof of our pass defense has been abused for years and our run defense had been...
Watt will be fine. There's a plethora of things wrong with this defense and he's not one of them.
We don't run 34 enough for him to be a 34 DE. He's a IDL in a 425... which isn't much better tbh.
I think the OLine/run game is the one area that's the most easily correctable, but it's going to take time this team cannot afford. This offense...
IF they end up 2-4 through this stretch, I expect the wheels to fall off as that next portion of the schedule is much tougher. I think it's...
I hope they figure some things out and end up 4-2, but 3-3 seems the most likely.
Fair point. Sawyer is probably the best option to start opposite TJ despite not being the most talented.
The schematics have changed since Dick left. Their base is a 425, and unfortunately that change is precisely why their run defense is awful. Their...
They're old. Damn near half the defense will be 30+ come December. They aimed for a HR, in which i don't completely blame them for it, and has...
It's more than just a coaching change. This is a poorly constructed defense. It's an incredibly talented defense, but not a good defense.
Let's talk about this defense as issues from last year's skid has carried over. In the past 10 games they've given up 27.9 ppg and over 380 ypg....
Agree. This year looks to be the year that ushers that in if they don't right this ship these next two weeks. Must go into the bye with a at worst...
They're also incredibly close to being an 0-2 team if not for Boswell being Boswell. 1-1 seems about right considering how they've played and the...
It really doesn't look good for the OL when even Seamalu is looking bad. As for Aaron's health, don't be surprised if he just randomly retires at...
Hopefully they get this all figured out before the bye week or this will be Tomlin's first losing season. Funny thing bout the run defense is that...
Completely agree. This more or less is Exhibit A on how poorly we drafted since 2019.
