Because DA knows in order to not get 50 points hung on us he has to disguise looks to cause confusion. The problem is that our defense is usually more confused than our opponents.

improve the defense verse being the cog that we have missed on the line and the sole reason for our defensive line woes are two completely different things.
He is a rook, and we hope he is very good, but expectations should be tempered since he is a rookie that has missed half a season. |

Re: Enter: Sheldon Rankins...
and his point was the same one I made, he has never intercepted Tom Brady on a screen pass. preseason stats and play do not count. And before you shoot the messenger- that isn't my rule. Worse than quoting a play in a preseason game is disingenuously making a statement that grossly exaggerates the reality by purposely leaving out the surrounding context.

Was at the game and made it a point to key in on him when he was in.
Overall, pass rush was there, but because of the bad coverage scheme people were running wide open. They never needed more that 3 secs to hit an open target. When coverage was decent the pocket collapsed. He also played well in the run. He is going to be a stud, saw one double team that he pushed through and collapsed. |

I said getting Rankins back is like replacing a bad spark plug and you come running in like I was digging in your fridge. Relax, we're on the same team |

If he is getting chipped, that's what we want. If he can't get to the QB, someone else should, when two linemen are taking him on. Dennis Allen made a mistake not playing more man coverage and forcing Kaepernick to hold it longer, even for just half a second, in my opinion. |
If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.

I think he will at the very least hold his own and keep us from seeing any more drop off. He missed a lot of time though and to count on him making a big impact right away is asking a little much.
