I don't think Snow is to blame, but I gotta admit, this is actually the perfect gif to describe our defense.

Kudos.  We try our best, but it's always too much for us to overcome.

LOL yea

Boston diving out of the way as well

Nah I've seen enough of snow. the dude is college through and through. He's Rhules main guy so Rhule should make him senior advisor or some special title and allow snow to still be a part of this team but he needs to get a quality NFL DC in that can call the plays and feel the game better next season.

No doubt he has a lot of deficiencies to mask, but man, some of these calls were inexcusable.  The personnel is the biggest issue by far, but playing 20 yards off the LOS on a 3rd and 19 while rushing 3 is equally bad.

Perfect calls with awful players are going to look bad. We have a talent deficit at really key positions on defense.

It's not Snows fault that his only talent to work with are rookies, an overpaid decent LB, and Brian Burns. Seriously, no one would be able to field a decent D with this roster. I'm just encouraged that it looks like we have some building blocks to work with going forward. Anytime the majorities of your talent is rookies and a 2nd year player it's not gonna be good.

[LinvilleGorge]

Posters scream for us to get more aggressive then scream when we give up a 98 yard TD because we tried to be aggressive. When your last line of defense is completely unreliable it pretty much takes away your ability to be aggressive.

I agree.  He has almost nothing to work with.  But, again, some of the calls were just bad.  I know most of these guys are not going to be back next year...  in fact, most of them probably won't even be in the NFL.  I give Snow the benefit of the doubt going into next season, regardless.  This season isn't on him, but man it's hard to watch...  forcing 1 punt in 4 weeks, or whatever it is, is just horrible.

And I really, really, really hope they bench Boston and Whitehead the rest of the year.  It's fine if they're good in the locker room, but they suck on the field.

They absolutely need to be benched. At this point I don't even care if the guys behind them are even worse. Hell, give them a chance and see if they're gamers. It's gonna be hard to be worse.

To be fair LG, that was on Boston, but it didn't appear we were being overly aggressive.  I'd have to go back and watch, but it looked like they came out in a heavy/goalline set and qe matched personnel...  as a result, we were overloaded on the line and had the box stacked bc no one was wide.  We simply just didn't have good gap discipline and then Boston was Boston.

EDIT: I stand corrected.  Just started watching Rhule's presser and he said we blitzed from the right, but one of the guys to didnt fill their gap and that's what busted the run open.  So we were playing it aggressive.

Meh....I expected us to be at the bottom of the league, we have a bunch of rookies and journeymen starting for us.
