Run defense concern

Gaulden played about 25% of the snaps yesterday.  He was a problem, but he certainly wasn't the only problem.  For example, Luke K uncharastically missed a few tackles that he would normally make. 

agreed. I was replying to the individual who was mentioning that we should put gaulden on the field bc mannerly was a problem.

People need to remember this is only the 2nd game of the season and starters see very little playing time in the preseason and they don't hit in practice anymore.  Our D will be top 5 this year and will be fine.  Yesterday was just an off day and even Luke was missing tackles and he is probably one of the best tacklers in the history of the game.

Gaulden was the problem yesterday.....

He got washed on a couple of plays. However, the damage was done before he came in for Searcy. The Falcons abused the strong side of the defense. Mayo, Shaq, Luke, and Adams should be called to the carpet before Gaulden.

I'd prefer Norris, Smith or Carter Jr next week on the outside.  They're all quicker than Mayo.  The lack of speed mixed in with some poor DL play did us in.  

Butler was in a ton and we had rotations not suited against the run I.E.: Addison-Butler-Short-Horton

Andre Smith/Norris/Carter Jr. and Bryan Cox Jr. should be looked to get increased reps this week.

I don’t think we should be concerned unless it starts happening on a regular basis.  Our run defense has consistently been good under Ron. It’s more likely this past week was an abberration 

It wont happen until they put someone at OLB faster than Mayo. If there is no one on the practice squad, then until Davis is back after the Giants game, teams will run it over and over again

Mayo has no business playing OLB. Too unathletic and slow to play outside.

Fixed it for you.  Love the guy, love his story, but he was a liability yesterday. 

Can't help but thing J. carter would have put up more of a fight.

    • By all indications, the surgery was "minor." I know with all surgeries and especially back surgery there can be complications, but I think the whole time Tremble did this with the expectation he would be able to be back for Week 1 It sounds like he will be ready to start back in team drills next week. He's a veteran who knows the system so I'm sure that helps. I still can't imagine he will play a normal workload early on though 
    • Maybe. He was pretty good in college before a bad injury. He had a good preseason last year as a UDFA in Washington and was on their practice squad all year so they obviously saw something worth developing. He signed a futures deal with the Panthers earlier this year, and everything about him has been increasingly positive. Tremayne has gotten a decent amount of time with the ones, and a lot with the twos for someone that doesn't have a chance. He's the only other 6'4" plus WR on the team, plays ST, and is a more natural backup to the X receiver position than David Moore. That was my thinking behind it. But he may well end up as one of the last roster cuts. If so, I do hope they can bring him back to the PS. But I personally think there's a good chance he could be claimed given his ST ability and what hes shown at WR.
    • That was my thought originally, but so many of the beat writers have mentioned keeping 7 WRs in conversations that I went with that, at least for the purposes of this projection. But you're right that historically defensive guys who were standouts at ST have tradionally gotten those last spots
