Phil Snow’s defense isn’t equipped to defend the power run game

Teams that have stout O-lines annihilate us. As good as Reddick/Burns are, against mauling OTs they become pedestrian.

 

I know they like to use YGM and Fox to defend the run but it’s just not there. In the past this team had road grading LBs (Davis) to defend the run but guys like Carter just get eviscerated 

while we are all quick to praise Snow, his inability to game plan for WAS was pretty sad. You knew they only had McClaurin and Gibson but you just let that team own the time of possession and have their way

You just listed what he had to work with for this match-up but expected it to go any differently?  News flash, we struggle against good running teams with big offensive linemen. We are built for speed but are light in the ass for power. Our ends are just not good against the run and the tackles can only do so much.

Yea you can't have Reddick and Burns both on the field at the same time as your base package. Burns especially gets ate up in the run and thats exactly where they attack in the power run game. They don't even bother testing the middle when they just know for a fact they can move Burns up and off the ball.

Have to have that as your pass rush but we need a DE on that side who can stop the run first but be a threat as a pass rusher.

Again let's not be prioners of the moment.. With no offensive help for Atleast 6 or 7 weeks this defense has only been beat up like this 3x this year... Let's not throw out the baby with the bath water ..

Not every team is a power run team so this makes no sense.

Okay so still my point stands.. 

Reality check.. Not to many teams have done that to this defense and if only a few teams can.. Then what's wrong with that idea.. And Also even with this they barley loss to all those team except the Cowboys..

Do you see the reasoning in that??

The way the D is constructed puts a lot of pressure on the interior line against the power run. For all his off field issues a thumper like Perryman would have been a huge help to alleviate some of that. That being said, Carter is not fast, explosive, or instinctive enough to be undersized and has no business being out there over someone like Luvu on rushing downs.

      I mean, yes, there is a difference between looking at a box score and watching film.  But PFF has a big subjective aspect to some of their grades.  That's how you get a 2/4 being better than 3/5 with a TD.  You aren't using stats at that point or factual events, but subjective analysis of plays.   And it's not like it is the same subjective analysis applying across all the players.   Same guy grading BY's incompletions (which are putting him over the top) isn't grading everyone else's incompletions and completions.  So it's different subjective takes/viewpoints applied.  There is no way everyone at PFF views grading out a play the same.  Then it all dumps into the same spreadsheet.  Hit the sort button.  Sometimes I feel it gets really weird and and collective data starts saying some weird stuff that just isn't true.

      Yeah, Sanders had a very nice debut preseason performance but the folks acting like he's arrived based on that performance are getting way out ahead of themselves.

      Joe Person: Panthers really like Mason Graham and Jalon Walker

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I won't be surprised if Graham disappoints. Maybe not outright bust but never lives up to his draft status. The more I watched him at Michigan the more I came away impressed by the other Michigan DT. I think he might be the real player. Usually when you have two high level prospects in the same college unit one of them ends up getting fraud checked in the NFL as being largely carried by the other guy. Peppers and Ryan Sims at UNC comes to mind. Lavar Arrington and Courtney Brown at Penn State, etc.
