Why odd fronts don't work vs the run

Those defenses operated differently than we did today. Snow LOVES sending pressure. We saw it that last series. We stacked up the line, put our safety in the box, and blitzed at least one linebacker. Every time. Why did it fail? Because you need odd fronts to have two things. A dominant nose that is immovable and requires double and triple teams and linebackers that can read and react quickly. Your ends have to be great two gap defenders. I love our DL, but that isn't what they do. They attack hard and squeeze poo down. They don't jam up the blocker and shed to either side effectively to dominant both gaps.

 

Brian Burns isn't strong enough to cross a man's face and play two gaps.

He always picks a side and tries to run around. That gets you beat in the run game.

Excellent post OP.

 

Means a lot coming from you. I didn't think there was much a place here for in-depth football talk but guys like you and a couple others sort of showed there's definitely people that understand and enjoy it.

 

Basically, can you be my dad?

lol @ all the people thinking YGM is the answer.  The guy has put almost nothing on tape since he arrived.  Yea, the kid may have potential, yea, he's had some injuries.  I'm not closing the book on him by any means.  But he ain't the reason we got gashed.

The simple fact is that up until today our defense has been getting handed nice leads in the second half.  Enough that the other team is throwing a lot.  Our defense doesn't have the size to stand up to a pounding like that.

You've got to look at our defense similarly to the Colts defense back in the Manning years.  It was a defense built to play from ahead, allowing their smaller but incredibly fast players to attack.  That's what our defense is.  You beat it the same way you beat the Indianapolis Mannings.

      Monday practice tweets

      I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).

      Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.

      Austin named starting center

      Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
