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 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

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      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.
