Boogua Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Oct 7, 2013 -> 01:23 PM) So our pass defense is quickly becoming one of the worst in the league. We are 30th in the league currently in opponent pass completion % at 70% (only Oakland and San Diego) has done worst. We are also 6th in the league in highest yard per attempt at 8.3. When the secondary is not generating any turnovers and the DL is not pressure the quarterback, our defense is a disaster waiting to happen. When you run a cover two system, but can generate little to no pressure this is the result. We could blitz, but we don't have the CBs to play cover one or cover zero (look at the Steelers game for reference). It's going to be a very underwhelming season for the defense because of all the injuries on the D-Line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Oct 7, 2013 -> 12:56 PM) Elaborate. They need to pick up some competent D lineman. The starting tandem and main back up this season(Paea, Collins, Melton) were all out yesterday, with Paea being the only player that will return this season. Without a strong rush in the front 4, this defense is doomed. Peppers and Wooten cannot do it by themselves. The offense needs to start stronger of course, but they cant be trading points with teams.

There isn't much a GM can do with your top 3 guys all hurt. That falls under the category of "s*** happens". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 It is funny though. To start the year, we knew we were especially thin at dtackle and could not afford any injuries there. So what happens? All 3 major injuries so far were to our dtackle positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While you are right that they can't do it alone, it would be helpful if Wootton or Peppers would occasionally pressure the QB. Peppers is at least still seeing some double teams but Shea and Wootton have been mostly invisible this year. Shea is looking more and more like a wasted pick each week.

Kyyle23 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Apparently Dominic Raioila is quite a piece of s***. He trash talked the University of Wisconsin band during the GB/Detroit game and called them anything from fat MFers to questioning their sexuality and also ripped on one guys deceased mother.

witesoxfan Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 I bet they feel really smart going for the touchdown at the end of the first half. That's a decision that costs coaches jobs. That was the biggest no brainer take the points of them all, and the idiots tried to run a draw play against a 9 man box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
