Defense is pretty good at forcing negative plays and turnovers. Keeping the safeties back, we're going to have some runs get to the second level. I've been frustrated with the tackling quality on the second level, and the frequent mistakes by the defenders who need to set the edge on running plays. Telander hasn't been great in coverage either.Apparently this thread stayed negative…
For the record my post above was right after the strip fumble at the end of the first half (by our big boys).
You guys gotta lighten up. Defense lost contain on a few big plays but overall considering… we got a fun win in large part because of our defense…
I wasn’t joking.Well no **** Sherlock. It's a joke.
Shut all the crying up damn… yall must really miss the 7-5 days it sucks to win… you always spew negative but don’t mention context… defense gave our offense the ball back 3 times and only once we scored with it and that’s why they got us the ball back in the red zone… they are boom or bust and I hope we improve our consistency but it’s A lot of teams who are playing worse defense then us and not on the field for 40 minutes per game… heup needs to pick his aggressive up on offense as well… defense does enough to win every game it’s not an embarrassment.Problem is that this is a 4 quarter game. This defense is an embarrassment.
How many were due to holding or was we not watching the same game ? Defense not perfect but tell the full story blatant holds on scrambles was insane not to call.Giving up 7 3rd and longs is plenty to be ashamed of. We’re going to lose 2-3 more games solely because of this awful defense and Banks inability to scheme up anything.
Drives me crazy to see no heads on a swivel looking for players entering their zones and making a break on the route. Ball watching and guarding grass. PukeThat sums up how Banks teaches zone defense. Guys run to their spot, lock in on the QB, and have zero clue what any receiver is doing. They have zero idea where any of them are or what routes they are running. It’s just drop to your spot, stand there, and look at the QB.
And we’ve been shredded in zone for 5 years. McCoy masked a lot of problems last year just by being a super talent with great instincts.
