5 sacks in 5 games

[Carl Spackler]

Tied for last with the Jaguars. Probably gonna need more than that to win some more games, but we are at least getting closer to the QB (I think)

[Harbingers]

We need a real defensive coordinator.

[saX man]

We may need someone to put next to Brown.  Weatherly has been a bit underwhelming as well.  Snow doesn't seem to like the wild McD-esque blitz packages so we need some better beef.  We're dealing with flank steak and need a porterhouse.

[bigdog10]

Our linebackers and secondary completely negate any pass rush we have. They have to play so far off the ball that teams are just going to take the 5-7 yards and move along. 
 

Linebacker is a major need next offseason, however, I’m not sure I want to see us take another one in the first.

Our defense has been fine for the youth on the field. And our offense has directly lead to 21 points this year by having turnovers within our own 25 yard line.

Dont you be hating on a flank steak, They each have their place. We need a ribeye.

If ATL didn't drop have their passes in the soft zone last week we'd be toast right now. Thats a systemic issue.

Make it 6 games, but I digress. We also play QBs who get it out fast (which directly led to 3 picks we’ve gotten), but I’m seeing one DL generating consistent pressure (Burns) and one DL clogging the line with any regularity (Brown). Kerr has his moments today and YGM and Haynes have also done well, but it’s really been just two guys.

Meanwhile, our less talented defense with a coordinator hardly anyone wanted is actually outplaying our more talented offense with the coordinator virtually everyone wanted.

[GoobyPls]

That has more to do with our defensive play calling. We are still getting pressure on a regular basis when we rush 4

I get how people poo themselves when we draft a LB in the first, but Dan Morgan, Thomas Davis, Jon Beason and Luke Kuechly were pretty decent players

Our play has major personnel holes in it yes, but the scheme gets blown up pretty easily and the players are the ones keeping us in the game. The ATL game came down to their drops. Its simply not a high caliber NFL defense. Im happy to give rhule+snow a year for next year, they got a lot of at odds pieces and young bloods. but next year if this is the same thing, chopping block.

I'd look at a situation where Snow remains on the staff but transitions into a consultant/assistant HC.  He helps Rhule out. 

Key is finding that DC and a leader or two at LB and DL.

We put a lot of misfit toys on defense and we’re 3-3 with a DC who’s never been an NFL DC. They’ve exceeded my expectations.
