Agreed
but what happenes to Smith? Maybe I don't know jack but from his play performance I could care less

Re: Defense Gradually getting better
 

What I am sensing is a 2nd half adjustment over the last 2 games.

Re: Defense Gradually getting better
 

I saw a HUGE improvement....Wilson And Galette Are Beginning To Take Over....And For The First Time I Am IMPRESSED at Harpers Performance for the whole game....2 weaknesses in my opinion 1.Any Linebacker not named Lofton 2. Corey "Garbage" White....when Loomis gets back he needs to fill in those problems ASAP....

Don't kill White yet. Remember, he is a rookie. He is gonna make mistakes. The person that should be blasted on an everyday basis is Jenkins. He has no excuse. The guy is JUNK! Leads the team in missed tackles (maybe even NFL), takes terrible angles and seems generally lost 3/4 of a game. He accidentally made 1 decent play last night. He has got to be one of the worst safeties in the NFL.

Yep, this was supposed to be a development year for the rookie, who didn't even play Div I ball IIRC, or whatever they call it now.

The only reason he's seeing playing time is because of injuries.

Re: Defense Gradually getting better
 

As I posted in a different thread, we had 4 DE's playing in the last series because we knew it was going to be all passing. Gallete and Wilson on the ends with Smith and Jordan on the inside. It definitely helped the pass rush, I just don't know if it will work defending the run. Yeah we need to give White a break. He is getting better with experience though. I like Harper playing LB in passing situations as well with Qudous and Jenkins playing safety.

Re: Defense Gradually getting better
 

We also throw them ALL out there because it was the end of the game... I dont suggest we start that in the 1st qtr and leave all our DE out of gas by the 3rd qtr.
