What Would Drive You Crazier About Our Defense This Season?


Recommended Posts

Would it drive you more nuts this season if:

A. We still could not generate a consistent and sustained pass rush.

B. Nearly every opposing TE still looked like an All Pro against us. (this did not only happen in the playoffs, TE's murdered us all season)

C. Our DB's still have not learned\ decided to wrap up on tackles.

Understand, I'm not being negative, but these were obvious deficiencies last season. I doubt Samuel or DeCoud are going to change their style of "tackling" so that was just kind of a throw in. I hope the other two are improved. I love the Osi signing, but I don't think he is an improvement over Abe by himself. If these area's remain the same or worse than last season, which would make you cringe to consistently watch more?

No bump and run coverage.

No Push up the middle.

This in mine. If I see Brees continue to just step up to avoid our edge rush.....Arggg....no words for how irritating that gets.

oh and here's a another

D. A pass rusher (usually a safety or LB) getting to the QB and consistently whiffing on the tackle. Brees in particular can't be that f'ing slippery.

This defense has me worried. We really haven't done nothing to improve. Osi is another Abe and we still can't stop the run. The draft isn't going to fix it. We need another veteran DL and LB. Right now, SF and Seattle are ahead of us.

That's a tough call, but choice C was the most frustrating part of last year. To see so many big plays run on us because we couldn't wrap up was maddening. I'm so sick of the kill shot that Dunta and DeCoud always try, I can't count how many times I screamed at the TV when I'd see them try that nonsense.

The defense just needs a push up the middle and we're fine.

Is that girl banging a football?

Counting postseasons of both, over 18 games, that adds up to 1093 yards and 7 TDs. Gonzalez had 1059 yards and 10 TDs, also counting his postseason.

One could argue, therefore, that our defense was so bad that it was like the average TE played like Tony Gonzalez against us. But, like, that's not a problem...right? Do people even think before posting?

Well if we want to get technical the only TE to beat us in a traditional system was Graham. The other 3 big ones were all forms of the read option making it tougher to scheme for the TE. Take away the 3 option teams and our TE play looks decent , add it in and it shows that the real issue is something else all together. Graham's play seemed to be more of Nolan underestimating him than anything else. We covered him fine the second time.
