Defensive struggles

Of course I’m nervous about this OL keeping Bryce upright.

But this defense.  
when do we start sounding the alarms.

 

This secondary I thought coming in was a potential issue.

The Jets joint practice.  Rodgers shredded our secondary including picking on Horn at times (minus the 2 minute drill which their #1 WR didn’t participate in).

We were then told.  “Well it’s Rodgers, he’s a future HOF coach”

 

The Jets preseason game.  The 2nd string Jets offense with Zach Wilson drove right down the field and scored pretty easily.  After that game we were told “We were just being vanilla not game planning”

 

Pre season game 2.

Daniel Jones started 8-9, with his only incomplete pass coming off a play where the WR was wide azz open.  But the WR lost control of the ball off a big Hit from Bell closing in.  Then we heard last night “we’ll they didn’t have Burns or Brown”.  (Though ignoring the fact that QB was knifing us to open guys within 2-3 seconds.  Which neutralizes any form of pass rush).

Having no pass rushers in either game and no Brown yesterday will neuter a defense. 

How much will those pass rushers really matter if the QB is getting the ball out to open guys within 2-3 seconds like yesterday?

I don’t expect Jackson to make it a full season. I think he’s done after his injury from last year. I think the secondary is in trouble going into the season the CB position for us is just so fragile and the depth is brutal

Besides Waller, what giants receiver or RB who played against our starters is considered an above average player?  

Waller is a stud (when he's on the field). He was the one making the plays (along with Jones). Let's not forget that an O-line (and one that doesn't really have to face above average rushers) plays a vital roll in the success of the offense as well.

Yeah I understand that.  But it wasn’t like Jones sat back there for 8 seconds while guys played backyard ball to get open.  He unloaded after 2-3 seconds and hit his guy open every time.  It’s worrisome that our back 7 can’t cover a guy for more than 3 seconds.  Even the best pass rush can’t do much to help there

      Draft Week Rumors, Leaks and Media Draftniks Final Mocks

      After watching Dan for 3 yrs now, I think I understand his plan. It’s a simple plan that should work for the long run.     I saw some of this last yr. Dan wants a vet and a young player at each position. I really think we go OT if one they like there. Moton is aging, Icky will not be back until 27, if ever. We need to get ahead of the tackle problem

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      You are just stressing too much about these particular positions. You want to upgrade from Bryce and I understand that but you aren’t going to really get that without getting into a bidding war for a QB2 potential QB1 like Willis. You could possibly trade for Mills or the backup for Chicago but they are still gambles and their teams will won’t decent picks.  Again the Eagles thought KP was a capable enough backup to trade for him once their backup was hurt and won a Super Bowl with him as QB2. The point is most teams aren’t rolling with some stud QB2/3 that is going to push even a bottom tier starter. They are better off the building their roster in other areas. The Rams are rolling with Bennett right now as QB2 for example.  The goal is winning absolutely. We overachieved last year even with stumbling into the playoffs. Another year and this staff needs to take the next step in building a team. Will Grier has little to no impact on that….

      Three straight first round WRs is straight up Matt Millen poo. Considering the draft capital we have tied up on Bryce after that trade we would basically have spent damn near all of our draft capital in recent years on QB and WR just to put one of the most anemic passing offenses in the league on the field. Clown show poo.
