Re: We need DEFENSE - it is that simple
 
Ok I have listened to a lot of opinions about our defense and cant say any of them are entirely wrong.

Here is my question... What "if" Greg Williams, knew all of this and ran the Defense the way he ran the defense because that was the only way it would work?

Obviously what we are trying is not working very well thus far. I am not completely sure our offense can hold up long enough to allow the Defense to catch up...

We need to be able to run more to take some wear and tare off of Drew. He had another near 50 attempt game.

I saw our DE's hesitate while rushing in order to keep from getting burned outside by the two most elusive running QB's in the league.

I doubt they're that scared of Ryan, Cassell, Freeman etc...

If this defense is even in the top 16 I will be astonished.

I have noticed that when RG or Cam would hold the ball an extra second, or if it was a good fake we fell apart.

I also noticed that our Corners are not playing the ball at any time... they are playing the player on all of those long catches. When they played the ball there were 3-4 dropped interceptions.

I predict our defense will rank 33 after week 16.

If our pass rush doesn't improve, we won't be that good.

The best defence is clock control, we need to run the ball more to control the clock and help drew out. We'll see what spags can do, hopefully he can get everyone in line and pick up the defence. I imagine that against a more conventional offence (i.e. not newton and rg3 in the backfield) they can start getting some flow going and maybe get some confidence back. It's only week 2, hopefully we can smash KC and get some good vibes flowing on defence and scoop some wins before Vitt takes over.

How long is spags hired for?

If its not fixed by game 8, I wouldn't be comfortable keeping this D for a second season

Too many BIG plays given up again!

Re: Our Defense
 
come on guys, with the lack of contact in practice because of the new CBA, how can you judge Spags defense after 2 weeks? It's going to take a few games and as far as always playing from behind, it's not all on the D. We were up 7-0 and the D got the ball back to us and Drew throws an ill advised pass and all of a sudden it's 7-7. Then 2 of our best receivers each drop what would have been a TD and we have to settle for 3. There's plenty of blame to go around and it's going to get better. Stop all the panic. We sound like failcons fans.
