Re: Defense collapsed, Payton and Drew
Brett Favre’s Vikings were ranked 6th in total defense and and had Adrian Peterson toting the rock on offense.
Peyton Manning’s Broncos had the top graded defense of this decade. We’re built NOTHING like those teams. We’re not built for power on offense. We run a zone blocking scheme that relies on agile lineman. Then we keep calling Murray a power back when he’s really not. Has no one noticed he doesn’t hit the hole with force and how easily he gets tripped up and goes down after first contact? Murray plays like a finesse back, and I’m fine with that, but let’s not get it confused. We have two receiving backs and a finesse guy. There is no power back on this team. Dinking and dunking WILL NOT WORK without a defense that can cause turnovers and score points. At this point we can’t keep up in a shootout, and in 2020 the NFL is all about shootouts. Chiefs? Packers? Ravens? Even the Cowboys. Weapons galore and they’ll stretch the field all day long. |
