Poor Run Defense Partially Due to Scheme

I thought it was odd that only 3 of Gino's passes traveled across the LOS.

We played right into the Jets hands. Unforced turnovers, dumb penalties and missed assignments.

We have a Superbowl caliber team. We need to put in place now what will win us a Superbowl. A solid running game would be so helpful to our Offense and our Defense. I agree, we need to go back to gap blocking.

I agree that run defense has a long way to go but I think some of that comes with time. The front seven need to be more disciplined in their gap coverages.

That being said, they're not giving up the big play nearly as often as they did last year. A definite improvement.

Scheme? Respectfully disagree...

Missed Tackles and Getting Beat One on One were the problems yesterday...

Geaux back to the Ivory run from the Jets 1-2 yard line - Saints defender bounced off of him and he gashed us down the sideline; that was a missed tackle and they are professional football players miss tackling - no excuse for player nor positional coach...

According to that 4 letter sports station, Ivory had 107 yards before contact. That tells me there was an awful lot of over pursuing and not maintaining your gaps. Perfect example would be the god awful end around.
Jets DE was just sitting back in his position, he didn't crash the los and lose containment.

That is amazing. Where's the SLB? Did we just get burned on a SLB/SILB blitz?

Pretty significant hold on Hicks (or Jenkins?) however.

'Curtis Lofton said this today: "There wasn’t anything in his (Ivory's) way most of the time he ran. That’s more so (our fault)." So the team is thinking more about not having players in the right spots rather than being bruised by the offensive line or Ivory.'

Off topic but I know you'll love this one Danno

If Harper played against the Jets i think we win the game.
Doesnt matter much now but if Harper was healthy those big runs don't happen. Having Jenkins and Harper out hurt us in this game, Bush took some bad angles.
