Oh God! We couldn't tackle Turner now "Beast Mode".......

After re-watching that Atlanta game, is there any hope of tackling Marshawn Lynch? I mean that is probably the worst performance I have ever seen out of Beason at the MLB position(although it looked like he made a lot of good decisions as far a play recognition). Anderson was horrible well. Hell, all of our LB's looked bad tbh. Let's not even beat that dead horse and talk about the Safety position. Is there something that could be done in 6 days to make us at least slow Marshawn down?

tackling was bad, but part of turner's success was related to the ginormous gaping holes the offensive line opened up for him. to stop him the defensive line is going to have to play with exception gap discipline. and for gods sake seal off the edge. i can't count the number of times i've put my remote through the wall when the interior line gets pressure and everyone reads well and then all of a sudden the back is just skipping off tackle en route to a first down.

hardy is notably terrible at this so i expect to see alexander, who is marginally better, and applewhite if healthy (he played the run from that position pretty well last year iirc

this is a winnable game if we can play well offensively and get them throwing.

Yep, everytime you see Keuchly make a play, he's heading right to the sidelines afterwards.

Think about this though, we've played Eli Manning, Drew Brees, and Matt Ryan in our first four games - those are QB's who will light you up if you stack the box. For the first time this year, we are going up against a team with a young inexperienced QB and lackluster WR's.

I say bring Godfrey up and let Martin roam the deep territory to help stop the run. Their passing game doesn't scare me at all. We can do this.

those ginormous gaping holes created by an OLine that had 6 and 7 OL on it for most of the game.

JA and Kuechly are going to be very important in this game. Also, if Captain ends up on Tate a lot he better step up.

On the other side of things, this game is going to be a big test for LaFell and Murphy. I wouldn't mind seeing more WR screens, get the speedy guys in there, some i-form runs for f*ck's sake (I'm kidding myself here haha), some power running with Stewart, and getting Olsen involved early and a lot

    • Sure if you just blindly look at stats, you can pinpoint a couple areas that look similar. But come on man that's lazy analysis. Instead of throwing lower percentage throws, Dalton held onto the ball unconscionably long, leading to several of those sacks including that unthinkable one at the end of the first half, inflating his completion percentage. Bryce for all his flaws, does a pretty good job of escaping pressure and scrambling for 5 yards or throwing it away. Dalton's pocket presence was just so incredibly bad today, which led to both of his lost fumbles. If Bryce would just hold onto the ball and get sacked every 3rd play instead of throw it away or try a contested pass, his completion percentage would be 15 points higher than Dalton's today. And Bryce only had more yardage in 3 of 7 games? You mean when we played run heavy schemes in our wins, instead of Dalton being forced to throw all game cause we're getting blown out?  Look anyone is more than justified in arguing Bryce Young doesn't have the tools to lead this team to a super bowl. But he has been head and shoulders better this year than what Dalton showed today. That was just an abysmal perfomance.
    • 100% correct.    we also have a team that is completely incapable of responding to adversity. The first sign of trouble and the team just unravels. I think that says a lot about coaching more than anything. It can also be explained with the amount of youth we have playing key roles on offense and defense. 
    • He's not elevating anyone around him and will never be that kind of qb. He is what he is. He will always need a good team around him to play his best. His best is not a game changer but game manager. If you accept that then you will understand what the outlook is going forward.
