Our Defense

Last year everyone was hating on Roman, this year it's all Jenkins and you hear nothing about Harper

Its what happens when you give ANY NFL QB 3 or 4 extra seconds in the pocket. The two safeties are the last line of defense so it looks like their fault to the casual fan. Ed Reed and Troy Palomalu would be blasted with the amount of time we're giving QB's to throw.

What defense?

westbankdaze · 09-16-2012, 04:20 PM

We do not have a defense.

Our Defence (if that's what you want to call it!) is absolutely sad! We gave up a ton of 40+ yard plays and didn't have a clue how to adjust. I'm going to be rooting for the Saints come whatever, but this is shaping up to be a long season. We can't continually rely on the Offense to outscore what our D gives up! The game today was painful to watch!!

There is no adjustment for an inferior front 7.

1) Can't stop anyone - 68 points in two games

2) Can't generate many turnovers

3) Offense always in catchup mode

We are seeing a chain reaction meltdown -
A) Defense blows
B) Brees thinks he has to do it all
C) Other team edges ahead
D) We pass 4 out of 5 down and the other team knows it
E) Dropped passed or other mistakes put our D back on the field
F) Rinse, lather, repeat and lose

It would not matter if Payton, Lombardi and Bellichek all rolled into one were the coach right now. We are not losing because of a bad challenge, a bad overall gameplan (unless you want to blame Spags' D gameplan), or a missed timeout.

We fundamentally blow at defense. Go find 11 undrafted FA rookies and start them - I don't think it would look any worse and would cost the team a hell of a lot less!

Well the offense gave opponents 21 of those points. Just sayin'

I only saw the game on Red Zone...can you tell me what you mean by this?

I mean, the pick 6 Drew threw at the 10 or whatever is obvious but how else did the offense give away 14 points?

Thanks!

Drew threw a pick 6 and jimmy graham and lance more dropped passes on consecutive plays that we're for sure were going to be touchdowns.
