Anybody who believes differently is not paying attention. Week in and week out the big runs are going to the outside and many still want to blame the DT's and it's quite sickening to see you guys really believe it's on them.

Our linebackers, safeties and ends are getting gobbled up by fb's,t.e' s and other times just flat out whiff or unable to bring the rb down with solid tackling.

yeah our backers are getting engulfed by blockers because nobody worries about stopping our DTs, guards are consistently getting to the 2nd level which is always a disaster when you're trying to stop the run

it's at least partially their fault, though we need some serious help at OLB as well

I think it is both the DTs and LBers fault at this point. Blame both groups. BTW it ain't the secondary job to stop the run unless need to as a last line of defense. So it is the fault of the DTs and LBers. DTs are just get pushed around and not even trying and our LBers are just to slow. But the thing is the DTs are more to blame the the LBers tho. DTs must get in the holes and stuff the run. But if our DTs don't command double team all the time. The oline ends up getting to the second level and blocking our LBers and making them useless. So more blame goes to the DT then the LBers. But both groups overall deserve the blame.

When interior linemen are 5+ yards up field bulldozing LBs it probably means your DTs are not very good.

Do you have a DVR? Please tell me when this happened? I can tell you numerous times when linebackers and safeties and defensive ends totally missed tackles or failed to bring down the rb and had nothing to do with interior lineman gobbling them up.

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By strato · Posted

      I have been looking for a dropped pass list and all that comes up is QBs. And team stats. When I do receivers I get the passing stats for a handful that threw passes this year.    I wanted to be accurate but anyhow I was looking because thought I remembered reading where T Mac had more drops than XL this year.  One of you many smarter than me people here,I would appreciate it if you know how to pull that up, please do. Thank you.    And yeah I know that isn’t all there is to it I just thought it was interesting.  Of course what the hell is a drop lol.

      I agree with this and I think it's worth mentioning too that Bryce is not consistent on his placement and especially velocity and that in large part is driven by his footwork. We all know XL doesn't have the best hands and I don't know that he can overcome that. Cam always had the heater that just hit your hands and sank into your grip, where Bryce has some that are harder thrown, some soft. Bryce stepping into a pass looks so much different than that hop throw thing he does. I think XL really needs to hit the jugs machine and start learning how to catch all these different touch passes. TMac and Coker don't have these issues. If XL doesn't get some work in he's going to be out of the league in the next couple of years.

      I think most people like XL from a personal standpoint. I don't think he's stupid either. Although if we are being realistic he is lacking in football IQ at this point in time and it cannot be disputed that he has not taken working on his craft seriously at all times given the body of work on the field. It speaks for itself. I myself have defended him at times given the circumstances of our QB room. But he is now in his third year and 25 years old. We are not in a position as a franchise to go around babying anyone especially first round draft picks. He needs to take his position and his football career seriously or he is going to end up selling used cars somewhere. I hope he realizes this and takes an extended break from social media because that mess certainly isn't going to increase his net worth if he ends up out of the league. And these hanger on types will disappear quick too once that money dries up and it surely will eventually. We'll see how he responds.
