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.

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
