Was this loss easier to take?

“No loss is easy to take, but you can see more positives and so you would have more of a brighter outlook on the future. We really feel that we’re on the cusp of getting on a roll.”

Are there any solutions to getting a better pass rush and more sacks?

“We need to have a better pass rush period. We need to get more pressure on their quarterback.”

Are there personnel or scheme solutions?

“We’ve had four man rushes and tried to cover and we’ve had blitzes that have not gotten to them. We’ve tried both avenues. We obviously have to try to get better and feel better about the plan as a player and execute it better.”

Have you talked to Steve Spagnuolo about altering personnel or tweaking schemes?

“As I spoke the first day I came up here, this is a we game. This is a we situation. We are working together as a group and as an organization to get these things fixed. As I also said, the defense is coaching the defense. Spags (Steve Spagnuolo) has the defense, Greg McMahon has the special teams and Pete Carmichael is coaching the offense. I have an offensive line to coach. I motivate the team and we work as a group in all the other areas.”

What is confusing is all I heard during the offseason was

"Spags D is a lot less complicated than GW's, it's just pressure from front 4, occasional 6 players and zone coverage

Now I'm hearing that players are confused by our D because its complex?

Make your minds up!

I have seen defenders look hesitant from game one. They don't know where they're supposed to be. LBers running up to the line and then, like, "OOOOPS", and they back peddle.

We got big problems boys (and girls). BIG problems.
