So is The Run Defense Basically fuged Until the Offseason?

I'm sure Rivera, Washington, Tepper, and hell the players themselves know they've been turning in some terrible piss poor run defense all season long.

If anything it seems to be getting worse. Rivera has to have tried a multitude of different things to change it and yet the result is still the same. So is this a personnel issue with who is on our Dline? 

Well whatever it is, its frustrating. For so many seasons I was fine with getting blitzkrieged through the air on occasion because I knew we had a stout Run D. But now we have an inconsistent pass rush, no rushing defense, and many DBs often looking lost despite our passing D stats being okay-ish. 

If Rivera's a defensive guy whys the defense stunk for the past 2 years? So many dudes on that line are highly touted , highly drafted, highly paid, or some combination of those three things. This just isn't adding up for me...

Basically yes. Unless some miracle of communication takes place between the DL and the coaches. They showed its possible, first game they held Gurly in check(yes yes hes not the same, still good). Ive heard Mccoy say Washington been telling they the same things over and over for weeks....

Greg Cosell broke it down pretty good on FNZ.  Basically our DLine is getting manhandled in the run game and it screws over the entire defense.  Honestly, D Line was supposed to Washington's specialty, but he appears to be failing on all levels.

Imagine that. Just like Rick Rodgers.

I mean if there's any portion of a team that can see a quick turnaround its the run defense, but it mandates actually going outside, getting in pads and tackling each other, not hiding in the bubble in shells and giving half the team a "vet day."

      DJ Moore. The quitting WR

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      This play was never designed to go to either DJ or Odunze. The primary read is Burden who is stymied early, with the outlet being Kmet if Caleb doesn't like the option for Burden. Given the situation it's pretty obvious the simple play is to take the free yards with Kmet, or if you want to be aggressive just wait a beat longer for Burden to uncover on his double move. If Moore was ever going to be a viable target in this play then Caleb should have started out reading Odunze to hold the safety in the middle and then coming to Moore, but because he started the snap staring down the right and then came back to the middle late it made it where the safety's leverage remained to the outside of Moore, so he would never have imagined that pass actually being thrown to him in that situation. Realistically DJ's best option in that context is to just occupy the safety to leave a hole open for Caleb to get it to Burden, which is probably why he throttles down vs carrying the safety across.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By panfanman · Posted

      Even with Sonny Styles still on the board I thought it's a no brainer to address the Oline after Icky's injury.  And how can you pass up Fano at 19 given our situation. Then the rest of the draft just kind of made sense with maybe the exception of Klubnik.  But if Canales can fix him and Young goes down. . .I think it's a solid pick. What do you think of this draft?

      When we didn't trade him to the Rams or the Bears (I believe the Bears said they would take one of Brown/ Burns/DJ Moore) we should have just signed him and kept him.  We should have traded him to the Rams obviously and we should have kept DJ and traded Burns.  We made all three wrong choices with Burns lol.
