Lack of Pass Rush - Due to corners?

[Ken]

Bradberry looks so much better in press coverage than soft zone. Doesn't make sense to me why they are not just letting him loose.

Then Norman should have signed the tender...

I think he was going to but was informed it was pulled, actually.

In the first half against minnesota our d was getting a good push at the line of scrimmage...bradford is just a checkdown taker.

In the second half the Vikings offensive line was not being moved.

Igo stated that Norman wouldn't. Josh had weeks to do so but chose to be an egotistical diva. He got what he wanted.

Bradberry is on track to being a superior corner at this pace. It's better to suffer in the short term than long term.

Yeah but Norman said he was about to sign, sooooo.

DG is just as egotistical as Norman.

Norman is not here anymore. He is with another team, so move on stop thinking about the past. That situation is over.

Yes except that this thread directly links to him because him being gone is up for discussion as to a reason for lack of pass rush, so white knight somewhere else?

Somebody needs to learn Everette Brown's unstoppable spin move.

Yes I understand that, but talking about the contract situation is different.

In other words we've gone back to the defensive scheme from Rivera's first few years here when we were 6-10. We were all pulling our hair out at the soft coverages for a long time while people like EJ Manuel drove down the field on us.

I thought we were striving for sustained success?

The West Coast offense was extremely effective against Buddy Ryan's 46 scheme.

Ryan was one of Rivera's influences.

Perhaps, but I don't think we play anything like the 46 defense.

Not signing the tag initially is fairly standard practice.  Gives more time for a potential contract to be worked out.  The FO and the agent continued negotiations.

Bradberry legitimately has not been exposed to the NFL passing game yet.  He will be Sunday for the first time.

anecdotally i recall a whole lot of coverage sacks for our defense last year, something i don't expect much of now.

[QueensKing]

Ah... so a corner does actually deserve to be paid like a defensive end, especially since we didn't have any to justify saving loot.  Oh well... I hate being right sometimes.

[usmcpanthers]

 I believe it is because we raped the league last year and now have a huge bullseye on our back. We are getting every teams best shot. This is very evident when you watch these teams play other teams the following weeks. Also the Panthers are just coasting along so far. Hopefully this adversity will snap them back to themselves. Every problem I have seen so far is mental and laspes of efforts on some players.

 

For all the people who say we dont have enough talent. We went to the super bowl last year and have pretty much the same team. No team is perfect, even last year we had weaknesses.

 

Like it has been said many times... it is a long season. These next 3 weeks will play a big factor in our fate.
