Has the defense pretty much looked the same for 9 seasons?

2013 was one of the greatest defenses ever. Other than that year, yes you are correct.

And not just team history, but league history. That D was so fuging good, better than the Seahawks that year but our O wasn’t as good,

Defense has been steadily trending downward the last 3 seasons. Add in the debacle last year of Rivera handing the keys to Washington which ended in utter failure on top of interviewing exactly ZERO outside candidates for the offensive and defensive coordinator positions, and is it any wonder we are so Jekyll and Hyde defensively week to week now?

I've noticed Luke getting blocked at the second level a lot more.

I also think Shaq has mediocre football insticnts.

I think both of these could be solved by a good NT.

Scheme is definitely the same but a lot.of coordinatiors run the same scheme, they either modify it or don't.

Ron has modified, and our pass rush is hitting.

Just our run defense is terrible

    • This is about getting open and YAC....and the QB we have.  You basically are just highlighting average depth when targeted vs 2 players. .  And yeah, I often say AT is a small slow reliable TE in terms of what he does for us.   That's what he is.   I think a couple of you want to make this into a Renfrow argument.   I'm a Renfrow fan.  Renfrow does not check the box of what a BY O needs either at the slot.  Renfrow just a niche roleplayer at this level.  it's easy to look up how horrific AT is with the ball in his hands and in terms of getting open.....and it's also easy to look up what a low ceiling of an offense the steady AT diet produces w/ BY. 
    • The one time he's actively tried to lose was the best we've ever done.
    • I simply acknowledge BY is the QB.  And just like we did when we drafted him.....the type O you would need to setup around him for success was always pretty simple.  But we have done virtually the opposite.  XL dropping some passes isn't why we were ranked the 32nd O and 30th passing the past 2 years.  *Ricky Prohel was brought up only in regards to role function he served on the team.  Niche/specialist.   He wasn't eating up the snaps in the O.    AT should have a similar snap %. People could MAUL Ricky Prohel and put hands all over him.   We got to the Super Bowl in part because we were mauling guys (our slot CB).   You can't do that now.  AT has a MUCH easier life and still can't get open.  Or run.    If you live in 3 WR sets, with a weak armed QB, and you choose to put someone who can't get open or run in the slot.......well, your are going to have a weak pass O.  That's by design IMO.
