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

[MedellinHeel]

Being that we are losing Hardy, I hope Gettleman offers a deal to JPP. We have seen what he can do on a nice D-line. Would rather see a Hardy/JPP combo tho.

Restocking our D-line and then drafting a true shut down CB will go a loooong way

 

S is a bigger issue than CB imo

[Gin and Juice]

A true shut down CB will reduce the field for our safeties

[AKPantherFan]

Sorry, when it's 3rd and 6 and our DB's are 10 yards off. It's coaching. Seen it happen all game.

Look at D.Revis and the way he played for Tampa Bay last year,well imo, thats what he would look like on this team this year,

[pantherj]

Luke is getting fooled too much and leaving his gap to chase shadows. TD is missing critical tackles. Star is getting pushed around more than in seasons past. Godfrey is screwing up a lot like he doesn't know what play was called. Our DBs don't get off blocks well, they get swallowed up. CJ isn't getting enough pressure on long passing downs, which is causing McD to blitz too much. We need Hardy.

[Carolina Cajun]

I think it's a mix of both.  Not having Hardy has hurt, and CJ not being worth the contract he's being paid hurts too, so we aren't getting consistent pressure on the QB.  On the flip side, teams spent an offseason examining our scheme figuring out how to break it down.  Our scheme is predicated on pressure up front, get to the QB, force a mistake and not let the QB find the holes in the zone defense.  Cinci is specifically the type of team that beats our defense because Dalton always gets the ball out quickly and finds a short soft spot.  Realize, Dalton has the shortest snap to pass time in the nfl which is like 2.5 seconds, that kind of speed will negate most if not all pass rush and will put pressure on DB's to react quickly, something we don't do at all.  Summation, it's both.

- 2013 Safeties > 2014 Safeties hands down. (Mikell/Mitchell)

- We need our Kraken bad.

- KK is not playing enough

- We have 2 good LB, we need 3..

- Captain and Florence.

 

 

 

Quick fix,

30 Back at safety, Bench Harper,

Norman should start

KK, Star and Edwards should play almost all the time.

Adisson over Horton

Don't rotate the players so much this is not good for the chemistry.

 

[BigSyke]

looks like hardy was the most important player on defense last year

[AceBoogie]

1 player=Bad player

Bad defense=Bad coaching

[Snake]

1 player=Bad player

Bad defense=Bad coaching

 

Lots of one on one match ups being lost. Hell Star is looking like Fua out there because of the loss of Hardy. Its like we just rebuilt the offense to dismantle the defense.

combination of the two.  losing Hardy was detrimental and some of us knew that from the beginning, others are starting to figure out how important a dominate DE is to a defense that relies on the line and see why he was tagged.  with that said, we need to do better getting our players in position.  shula right now is our best coordinator

it was meant kinda tongue n cheek but going against popular opinion on the huddle probably means you're on to something.
