Where do they find a pass rush?

Zero pass rush from the DE position. Double teaming Short leaves Star one on one to get the QB. Thats been the pressure so far. These rookie corners will get toasted without a pass rush, wait until they play a top QB. What is the answer....is there an answer two games in?

Our defense isn't like last year. DE needs to be addressed, but we're a lot better off than a lot of NFL teams out there. I think we'll be fine for the most part. Won't be surprised to see a DG trade coming up soon.

 

I feel the Huddle is overreacting too much over these games. First few games last year were close games, this time we're getting that 30+ points bracket much sooner.

Jared Allen played most of his career in a 4-3, and was playing on an 0-3 team with a big salary that had thrown in the towel,. Try and find a team/player that will be willing to do the same for an active sacks leader and you'll wind up with **** in hand.

Release the Kraken or get used to the same.  Pure and simple.

Dude we should have raped these guys... Anyway we need pass rush help asap

 

Giving them the ball on the 1 and patty-caking that TE down the field for 2 easy TDs makes it seem closer than it was, and that's even with the slow start. Not saying pass rush can't be improved, because it can, but after a slow start the team performed well.

    • the one thing this post has suprised me with is how much support there still is for young.  i dont understand why.  we had qbs before him that went to superbowls that lost support way quicker.  thr only qb we had had that started any number of games that played worse than young is clausen.  allen and moore played better and yet people still support him makes 0 sense to me
    • Again, can’t have a serious discussion if constantly wading through hyperbole. And you say that’s not really what was meant, but I tried to at one point get some folks to concede that he was physically capable of throwing a football 20yds just so we could get to a real discussion and they stuck with it. So I’m not sure your characterization is entirely accurate.
    • And this is his third year. As far as people not understanding things, I am not sure people accept how difficult it is to remake yourself from the ground up. Which he absolutely has to do to compete successfully at the NFL level.  He takes a step forward with the footwork and a step back when he is stressed and reverts to what always worked for him before. I will say it yet again, anyone that reached a level of success with their self taught technique but needed to rebuild to break through the limitations that imposed, will understand this. I don’t care what specific activity it is the same challenge. Muscle memory and comfort level fight against the new moves you are trying to train yourself to do without thinking.  He is there. There is a ceiling with his technique that is too low for the NFL. He has to retrain himself.  We are in the third year and I guess we are supposed believe that he will be so good  when he finally gets to where the new will be second nature, that we have to wait (how many more years) for him to finish doing it. If he ever finishes.  The sad fact is he will not succeed at the NFL level with his horrible college footwork and compensation moves like the tippy toe drop backs. He just won’t.  If he can’t put that on the table for us, we would be foolish to not seek an alternative plan.
