Our Defense is Ass

[KillerKat]

Every single player on the defense besides Chinn and Burns has no heart nor desire. They cant make a play. They play scared. Can`t tackle, nothing.  Snow is also a god awful D-Coordinator. This game is on the shoulders of the defense. The offense at least got better as the game went along. The defense is still the same as last year or maybe even worse.

They can’t get a stop when it matters. It happened last year too when we were actually in games. I will say that I think we win without the bs call by the refs because we were getting pressure there at the end for once.

Bull fuging poo.  D wasn't elite but they held the Browns to a field goal a number of times.  We lost this game because the offense could not get out of 1st gear except on defensive breakdowns by the Browns and at the end of the game.

[Waldo]

I was told it is much improved. Wait for the process and watch the brand...

The scheme is a failure and now the roster is tied to it. Just hire an offensive minded HC and a 3-4 DC. I don't think the transition would be great outside of a true NT.

yeah the D letting the Browns into FG range hurt us, soo....

It will get better. I was more disappointed by Horns play. I know it’s his freshman/sophomore year but he is to handsy. D line is very suspect, but should improve.

You can’t play D the entire first half and expect to have any in the 2nd.

Which does not equal "the game being on the shoulders of the defense".

[hepcat]

They were atrocious on 3rd down

[Krovvy]

Maybe we just need one more corner.

[The Lobo]

Terrible run d, gave up too many third downs...sounds like a Rhule coached team.

They had a backup QB 

And we still looked like ass

When you let the RBs and fuging Brissett own you almost the entire game, yes. Yes it does.

They play better when they blitz and dictate play. But like every other facet of the team they aren't put in positions to succeed.
