Radiohead Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Look.I have been on the boat of thrashing BVG for the longest time and I know it's beating a dead ******** horse, but seriously, it has to be said.We have way too many Pro-Bowlers on this team to put up a defensive performance like that after what fans had to suffer through in the playoffs.At this point, I'm fully prepared to blame everything on BVG and his schemes or play-calling. There is simply no other defense in the NFL who can play so WELL on 1st and 2nd Down, putting them in a bad situation on 3rd and then just utter FAIL and breakdown on the most important Down in the game.-- It is getting to the point of lunacy and complacency.In my mind, BVG has this week to make a statement against what can be a potent Eagles offense.-- The trick here: THERE IS A COMPLETE A TOTAL WEAKNESS TO THEIR OFFENSE.This is a hugely anticipated game and the Eagles can be easily beaten. Everyone knows what to do, it has been mapped out for years on how to stop Vick. Just a matter of simple execution, game planning and play calling.1.) IF BVG cannot get the defense to execute and win, then he should be strongly considered to be let go.2.) IF BVG puts on another showing like Week 1 or the playoffs loss, then he MUST be let go the following Monday.I don't give a **** if it is Week 2 or Week 14.This is entirely unacceptable and Mike Smith, a pure defensive-mind (why we got him mind you), can call the plays.

NewtonLaws Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 The play I HATE the most is the 3 down lineman formation. I can't stand it because I don't think it ever works. WHY put our BEST pass rusher into coverage? It doesn't make any sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quarterback Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 For the life of me I can't understand what qualifications and achievements Mike Smith saw that qualified BVG to be in charge of and NFL defense?As I said all last year, and now this year, "is the defense we now see after 3 years appreciably better than the one BVG inherited in 2008?"No...maybe even worse!

Sun Tzu 7 Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 The play I HATE the most is the 3 down lineman formation. I can't stand it because I don't think it ever works. WHY put our BEST pass rusher into coverage? It doesn't make any sense.Probably because it worked great when he used it back at UGA... I'm sure it confuses the heck out of college QBs.NFL QBs have seen it on film... know that we use this defense all the time... and have prepared for it accordingly.Every time I see us use the 'Green Bay' defense on 3rd down the result is either a 1st down or a TD.I think I counted 6 or 7 times this happened yesterday. The ONLY time it didn't give up a 1st down was because of a holding call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Roland Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Where is Mike Smith??? We hired this guy because he knew football & was a NICE guy.. He was suppose to be the mastermind behind the Ravens & Jags Defensives?? So what does he do... gives the ball to a college coach who runs a defensive scheme to bend in the wind.Please tell me Smith is calling the defense and BVG is just a puppet??? We need to be feared by any offensive coordinator week after week. Right now we are bye week.... I watched two great coordinators last night in the dallas Jets game.... yea they gave up points but man... you can be proud of what the defense is doing.... hard hitting agressive ball playing...

birdz4i Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 omg 3rd and 19 he only brings 3 to rush wtf is up with thatthat is fine but when you drop 8 and the qb still finds an open man, that is the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dashriprock2 Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 BVG's play calling was AWFUL!!! but just as bad were the O-line and the offensive play calling! we will get better and once we get going we will be hard to stop!the coaches HAVE to do a better job......period!!

Radiohead Posted September 12, 2011 Author Share Posted September 12, 2011 Honestly, Smith needs to take the **** reins and get this defense playing the way the talent should... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falconfanEST1989 Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 that is fine but when you drop 8 and the qb still finds an open man, that is the problem.when you give a guy 5 6 secs to throw the defense breaks down when he has to run for his life bad things happen to him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdz4i Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 when you give a guy 5 6 secs to throw the defense breaks down when he has to run for his life bad things happen to himyeah but you still have a 3 man advantage as to how many people they can send on a route.

Farmer2 Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 I completely agree. This soft zone bs on 3rd down has to go. We need to be an aggressive D. Yeah you'll get beat from time to time, but you'll also create turnovers, and that's what wins ball games. If we fix our OL problems (which is a huge if) our offense will be good enough to win if our D can create a couple turnovers a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adema1226 Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 I agree. wtf is with all the zone coverages when Dunta is nowhere near his man every single play, and CUTLER is shredding our secondary? If Grimes plays zone so well design plays with zone and man coverage. Have Dunta play man and Grimes play zone. I mean I know I'm not the coordinator but gosh, this ridiculousness has got to stop. I still don't understand why we didn't bench Dunta and put in Hayden, at least just for the remainder of that game... just to try it. It couldn't have gotten worse on that side of the field.I like Van Gorder when I see him in person. He's an intense guy and looks/sounds like a great coach for the defense, but the plays he calls.... smh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
