it looks to have been flipped off for the past few weeks. Maybe the entire season.

 

Now, I don't pretend to know everything about football or whatever, but I can't think that The Kracken and Mike Mitchell were this big of a difference makers for our team. We went from an almost Historically Great Defense last year to a colander (spaghetti strainer for the uninformed) in the run game. I know our DBs haven't been the best over the past few years, but its just ridiculous to witness the change in results we are getting.

 

Can someone explain to me why such a dramatic change? I mean, its the same coaching staff, same philosophy, same players (minus Hardy and Mitchell).

The biggest factor is TD hasn't been healthy for quite a while. He looks like Beason last season

Aside from production, Hardy's attitude is missed on our DLine. Our Dline can consistently get beat all game without being visibly mad or showing some sort of passion to change it. Small things like that change the culture of a unit.

When Cincy kept converting third downs.. keuchly wouldnt have been the only guy on defense you could tell was pissed.

We can easily say that not having Mitchell or Hardy has caused a huge problem from our defense. I know that not having either of those guys hurts our team, but I still don't believe that's the main reasons for our struggles. I feel that we just have to be more discipline in our gap assignments, and the lack of speed in the secondary has hurt us a lot. If we want to get on the right track our defensive line is going to have to get more pressure. If not our season could take a turn for the worse with our tough schedule. I believe as a fan and with the players that we have we can hang with any team in this league. We just got to start playing better on the road and at home. This is Cam's team with all of our deficiencies, it's time for Ron to put the ball in his hands and let him go to work.

if you dont understand how much of an impact Hardy had, you should now.  No it's not the old safeties or the average cornerbacks, everyone knew our defense relied on the line and they havent played near as good as they did last year.  But whats the difference?  No Hardy.  Easy and self explanatory.

I think another big thing is the Offenses seem to be getting the ball out very quickly and beating us underneath with the dink/dunk.  I'm honestly suprised we don't see more blitz packages to mix it up since our front 4 rarely gets pressure now.

Sophomore slump for sure with Star and what this poster just said above ^^^. I go to almost every game and have since 95. A lot of times on Monday's I watch the DVR of the game and the Offenses we are playing are getting the ball out so quick against us. It seems like it's time to try something else like blitzing more often.

It's funny how preople here went from "No way we should pay Hardy he only looks good and gets sacks because of CJ and Star" to "Hardy is by far the best player on our line and losing him made our defense the worst ever."

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
