Yeah the D-Line is getting no pressure....the quarterback is just sitting back and being patient. I hope the defense comes ready to play sunday.

And this is the problem; I posted earlier that no defensive linemen had their hand up except Ellis on one play; is Tom Johnson hurt because he was in beast mode during the preseason along with King and as for King I saw him just get pushed around against the Packers, I’d like to see what Johnson can do and if he pans out and big Will returns than we may see better 2ndary play

Playing 10 yards off the receiver and moving backwards prior to the snap could be a problem. Not to mention tackling the receiver once the pass is caught!

You can have all the push from the DL or "exotic blitzes" one wants, but a quick out pass will net at least 5 to 6 yds!

Johnson hurt his calf muscle and left the game against SF at about 12 minutes left in the 2nd quarter. There hasn't been any official prediction of how long he's out, but I guess it shouldn't be too long since he is on the active roster and not the IR.

I have mentioned this a few times. Having Smith back for week three should help.
