The Run D Problem: Scheme, Personnel, or Both??

Tie up Thompson, put someone on Chinn and you can run on us all day long because our D-line can get scrubbed away by your basic five linemen on any run play. 

 

No LBer would look good behind this line. Even Luke was damn near nulified by a weak run stoping line in another mismached D scheme before he retired.

With our personnel, our base defense should be a 3-4. It's been this way for years now. I don't know why we show so many 4 man fronts when it's pretty clear Burns isn't an every down 4-3 lineman.

We've been told that Phil Snow is capable of running the defense out of a 3-4 or whatever alignment he deems best.

Have yet to see it, though...

Personnel definitely plays a big role.  They are undersized and fast for the most part.   When they started stopping the run it was because they were selling out to stop it.    Also it seemed to help a lot when we brought the new guy in near the end.  Also our lbs in general were nonexistent it felt like.

    • Yuck.  I still kind of like Herbert but these playoff performances are rough....
    • I feel like this was the case with River and McDermott defenses as well, we just had the jimmies and the joes to overcome these deficiencies with all pro players at edge and linebacker positions.  Even then, was extremely frustrated in 2015 when we'd let team come back from 20+ pt deficits playing prevent only to barely win at the end. 
    • We need to move on soon and just use Bryce as a bridge to find our next guy. I'd like to see how this offense works with Canales hand picking his own guy. Bryce holds this offense back a lot considering you draft the first pick to carry your team and be your best player. We invested heavily for Bryce and need everything to go right just to have him look like a solid game manager sometimes. When he plays well he can look decent or mid, but when he plays bad he looks like a bottom 5 qb in league (backups included). It's not worth it, especially if we need to pay him soon, which means we have to skimp all over the roster. If the defenses don't hand it to us on a silver platter Atlanta style then we struggle big time. Defenses don't respect the offense at all. With Cam we could have the worst offensive talent and I'd still think we had a shot in any game we played. If Bryce is facing a 3rd and 10 I pretty much wave the white flag and don't think we can make that first down.
