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 get it's subjective and I said "PFF rated him as" one of the top deep ball passers during that time, which is an accurate statement.  They are still a group of professionals that look at film and data in order to make their judgements/ratings.  These people whose data has been incorporated into a lot of teams' staffs view Bryce's deep throws as some of the best in the league during that stretch.  That tells me that he can probably throw a deep pass vs the Huddle's version of he is small and didn't do it his rookie year so he must not be able to.  That and literally seeing him do it just makes me feel he is more than capable of doing so.   Do you think PFF is skewing their opinion to prop up a QB in a bottom tier franchise?  It's just another group's opinion and I feel is pretty respected around the league currently.  It's not the gospel truth or anything.  
    • I still remember how happy I was that gettlegut was not the GM once he picked Jones, that was a firing pick and well..... If not for the raiders drafting Clelin Ferrell, it was the biggest draft day mistake in the last 20 some years. 
    • He had 251 passing yards. 3 passing touchdowns and 2 rushing touchdowns. All in all a very impressive game. Problem is I do not envision his rushing ability translating like that over the course of the upcoming season. Yeah it will be something to account for from time to time but one it's not sustainable and two you don't want to put his durability to the ultimate test against a motivated defender willing to take a penalty and a fine. And plus with our backfield. Two 1k yard rushers. That's what they're here for. Then we have a much improved WR room. That means Bryce has to elevate those passing numbers substantially. The fact of the matter is regardless of circumstances it did take him 23 games to surpass Kyle Allen's single season passing yardage from 13 games in 2020. And that is not a high bar by any means. Whatever QB tier Bryce ends up in from here amongst his peers this upcoming season when it's all said and done it will be with his arm.
