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.

    • Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?
    • I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
