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."

      Player Led culture vs Staff Led

      well, players dictating things only works if you have the right collection of players to dictate things.  and in all honesty, not sure if we can answer if we do or don't as fans given......there are no Thomas Davis types around that we know are actually about X and Y (based on years showing it).  Collective team is too new to us to know what these dudes are really about in terms of players carrying the burden of culture.

      Moore can be put in one of the vet spots on IR. No one will be checking for him at the start of the season. But I would be very perturbed if we tried to go all Gettlemagic and stash an obvious talent like Horn on practice squad like we did Butker. If we can get through this year, next year it will be obvious Moore and AT will be gone, starting namely with AT's contract.

      Culture change comes from the top down, not from drafting a 3 and no D guard. I doubt Lamelo is gonna take his cues from this 20yr old kid lol. If Brandon Miller couldn’t change the culture with how good he is and how much he hustles on both ends, Kon Knueppel sure as hell ain’t changing it. Ace Bailey by all accounts is also a great teammate and hard worker, btw, who was drafted by a team he supposedly didn’t want to go to yet he immediately bought in. And he’s got actual length and tools on both ends of the floor. I feel this pick is going to age like milk rather quickly.
