WTF is wrong with our defense

[Shocker]

TD is back next week...right?

[Trill OG]

Nothing is wrong with our defense lol. People just love to overhype them. We have 2 elite players on defense with Luke and KK. Other than those 2 we aren't really very good at a particular position. People see Luke and they automatically think we have a great defense.

I tried to tell people to calm down on our 2 cb's. they aren't elite. OBJ shredded them today.

Until we get some pass rushers we are going to continue to struggle on that side of the ball.

I think both Gettlemen and Shula having inside info on our D played a part as well.

This isn't the first week our defense has looked bad.

This defense is built around the front seven and getting pressure on the QB. We aren't getting pressure on the QB. This roster isn't built to play coverage.

Coverage has at least been decent, I think.  Bradberry may not be spectacular but he's solid, and we all knew Jackson was gonna be a feast or famine guy.

But yeah, we're built to depend heavily on a pass rush that we're not getting.

Better tighten up.....the best offenses will lay 500+ yards on them if not. We play the Saints twice at the end of the season and those games will be critical. Teams like the Rams would eat this defense for lunch. Not much confidence that they can compete.

Our front 4 gets next to no pressure and in the year 2018 offense is going to win more time than not.

Yet we still march out this sorry ass group of WR’s each week and spend 1st round picks on rotational defensive players

[JARROD]

Eric Washington sucks,.. Wilks probably had it right but it takes watching Washington to miss him,...

Is there another Sean McVae out there we can replace Rivera with? Hell, another Doug Pederson?

[WarHeel]

I don’t care what the Giants record says on paper. Odell, Sterling, and Saqoun to deal with is not a joke.

No pass rush. We have a couple of good DBs, but trash at safety. Hope Reid improves that unit. I like what I see from Gaulden though 

[hepcat]

Rookie coordinator with a terrible pass rush. A good pass rush can cover up a lot of other problems. Wilks masked some of the pass rush problems with constant blitzes. Washington seems a step behind offenses playcalling and isn’t getting any help from the D-Line

[Davidson Deac II]

It will be interesting to see the snap count tomorrow for the dline.  I am wondering how many snaps Obada got.

Eric Washington isn’t very good

Maybe McDermott or Wilks will get fried and we can bring them back

Yeah I wasn’t a big fan of Wilks either but it is obvious now why he blitzed so much. We have zero pass rush and a good D coordinator needs to at least try to gameplan around that. 

The end of this game was similar to the Vikings last year. Wilks said fug it and sent the house and stopped the Vikings from making a comeback. 

Washinton and Rivera went pussy ass prevent conservative and the D got roasted and we almost blew the game.

They're scrubs. Only elite player is Luke and if he has a less than perfect day then the whole thing goes to poo

Sorry bud, I don't see any elite players on this defense. This defense has been overrated for a while. 

[Bartin]

Well at least we don’t need to worry about the new roughing the passer rule.
