Think Snow will defend his run D after today?

It was just pretty eye opening watching how badly this D struggled to stop the run when we sacrificed so much on pass rush ability to get better at stopping the run. Today we struggled to do both. That's not good. Looks to me like a D that is going to get absolutely eaten up by teams with decent QBs. They got bailed out today facing a backup QB.

The fascination with light weight guys who can rush the passer has just gotta stop.  Unfortunately, I think we're screwed this season.  We doubled down on the idea we don't need to stop the run, and we still can't.

It did. It has seemingly led to a D that can neither stop the run nor rush the passer.

Question I have to ask... does Snow get fired before Rhule?

Snow is the only reason Rhule was even mediocre in college. They’re intertwined in my opinion. Still don’t understand why we have 5-6 DBs on the field against an offense led by Brissett

      A pretty insane QB stat

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I think evaluating QBs making the transition to the NFL is just a lot harder and more nuanced than draftniks make it out to be. That and the rookie wage scale means that if you don't have a franchise QB on the roster and you think this guy might be one you're almost forced to draft him now that you're protected from giving that guy a future HOFer type contract before he ever plays an NFL down. The expectation for mist of these guys to play right away is also not helping IMO.

      Plenty of good teams made it to Super Bowls and some even won with meh QBs. Takes solid defense, good offensive planning and play calling and a helluva lot of magic. And I think the great QB elevating a team thing is overplayed too much. History just doesn't bear it out. Sure, it can lift a moderately good team like Mahomes did with the Chiefs, or Hurts did with the Eagles. And one can argue about Brady and the Pats (or even Bucs) but if you look at those Patriot and Buccaneer teams... there was something very solid in place already.  Heck, the whole idea that a single player can make or break an NFL team is vastly overplayed. The Cowboys have had a roster full of "star" players for decades now and have gotten bupkus in return. The Raiders have chased everything they could and have floundered mightily. The Giants have had star after star and nothing.  It's just hard to sell posters of a team. Give the marketing people a star though...

      Seems you found the "exception" to the OP. Eli wasn't actually drafted by the Giants. But that's the only team he ever played for since he refused to go to San Diego.
