Defense deserves MORE of the blame than its getting

Coming into the start of the season we knew we might have a question mark at Qb and the offensive line. Yes they deserve their share of the blame but the one issues we didn't see was the defense being manhandled.. in the run and even Waddle burning Jackson to a crisp.

I want to share the blame here and point a large finger at Derrick Brown who was suppose to be a run stuffing God and that's what largely made him a number 7 pick. After today and not even starting he's looking very busty to me. We are a very finesse team elite speed from speed rushers on the edge but that makes them vulnerable to power run blockers. 

They probably don't set the edge the best or she'd blocks as well in the run game. A staff that has poured Countless first and second round picks into the defense should not be this bad on defense. Even our precious  corner back core looked lost today.. and the finger can largely be pointed at rhule he put this monstrosity together.

I say give him another year to fix it you signed him to a 7 year contract this is year 2. But if he doesn't see the dying need of offensive line help this next season the honeymoon is over amd show him the door.

Don't necessarily agree to that contract.

I mean you signed up for this when you gave him 7 years. You praised him as a team builder let's give him atleast 3 seasons to do it. Gonna be even harder with all the assets they traded away.  But you signed up for this see it through.

    • Damn Logan Jones had a good day too. Was high on him coming in as he anchored that top Iowa line and is a fire plug inside. He's gonna be 25 to start the season so maybe he slips into the 4th but I doubt it, even if C isn't a premium position. His play on the field was top notch and the combine boosted it again. Arm length is about the only knock. But guy is plug and play at C.   This is a loaded class at C. Need to grab one. 
    • Bryce will be permanently replaced by a draft pick. There's not another Sam Darnold out there to save us. Tepper is going to see this throw because he dumped Mayfield and Darnold too soon. He's going to give it 1 more year before he will sign off on dumping another 1st round pick qb. Thats the cold hard truth of it. It doesn't mean we can't get younger and much better at the backup position. 
    • Maybe I should have used a different word and saved that for me. I want someone that has something impressive about them.  Someone that has potential to supplant a guy who is producing 25th best type of numbers. 22nd, 27th all that bottom third neighborhood.  I don’t know where that will come from it just can’t be from even a 4th round pick this year IMO. Unless FA is crazy productive.    I’ll give Bryce a better than bottom rating for his playoff game. Well above low twenties. But at least half of his games were bottom third level. Probably 2/3 to 3/4 of them were.
