Us sucking D on Defense, is it the coaches or the talent?


Recommended Posts

I don't know how our defense fell apart this quickly, we were very solid last year and now we made the guy who won the get to be a Bengal for a day contest have an excellent game in place of AJ Green.

 

So who's to blame? The lack of talent and filling the defense with scrubs and rejects, or the coaches for not adapting?

With that said, bring Hardy's ass back after the Green Bay game, he'll have served his six games by then. (I know this won't happen because JR has to have his team take a hit in order to help goodell's incompetent ass with PR, but it would be nice)

Hardy's gone.  Frank Alexander is gone.  I think CJ is being limited by injuries.  Not sure what's going on with Star.  The secondary is a hot mess.  Kuechly, TD, and Short are really the only defensive players who are standing out.

 

We tried to mix some things up today and nothing really worked for long.  Cincy would simply counter our adjustments and keep on rolling.

Both. The lack of talent in the secondary and the young players on the D-line, and the coaches inability to adjust to what the offense is doing. Sean was sending some stupid blitzes throughout the game and kept calling that soft ass coverage, while our secondary was scared to hit anybody and running away from tackles. It doesn't look good at all. If Rivera can't field a good defense, then he is worthless.

    • Immediately cast blame? We had been talking about the bad throws to Hunter (the missed TDs and hospital ball) for days leading up to that injury report.   And yeah, the rib injury then becomes something to point out.  and you are getting desperate with this projected extremism.  No one  said you should never throw seams.  I shared with you an article after you scoffed at seams being routes you can get hung out to dry on….and it was the best of the best talking about the dangers of those routes.   And they talked about it because they threw them a lot and there dudes were at risk so the throws really matter.  Because you can hurt your receivers.  we disagree, cool.  I got a pro Bryce former NFL QB calling it a hospital ball and bad throw.  So I got a plus +1 making my argument.  Find a QB that backs your take. 
    • You exclusively highlighted Hunter's name on the injury report and then immediately cast blame. I've pointed out that this wasn't the hospital ball you claim it to be while also acknowledging that there could have been another option to target instead of Renfrow. By everything you've expressed here, you don't think seam routes should ever be thrown. I don't know how that helps the already struggling offense, but I do know that it would make it even worse than it already is. Scapegoating never has and never will solve anything. Tell you what: Try not blaming Bryce or casting shade his way for the entire week after Arizona and instead look at the other 21 starters and assess what they're doing (again, without shading Bryce). I'll join you and refrain from exploring what the rest of the team is doing and will focus solely on what Bryce needs to do better. Deal? This is a sincere peace offering to allow us to explore the other's perspective and perhaps be even more informed football fans.
    • TMac PI throw was a TD too.  Bryce just drastically under threw it.  Renfrow and TMac set themselves up to BOTH have great days.   the story of last of no one was open…..isn’t a defense the Bryce Young defenders can use so far this year
