WTF is wrong with our defense

I don’t watch film, so maybe someone who does can answer this question.  Was Starr better at eating up blockers than Poe?  It seems like offensive lineman are getting to the second level a lot more and the linebackers are getting caught up in the traffic including Luke.

i have no idea, but one thing i notice. On long runs its usually when the rb cuts back to the outside, usually a safety or a linebacker makes a wrong cut to the rb and the rb jukes to get into the open field.

This is the NFL now.  Just make a few palys and you win.

Um we have a terrible secondary and we don't get pressure.

[RumHam]

This was predicted

 We aren't a super bowl team

Give the Giants credit though. Barkley is an incredible talent as is OBJ.

Yeah truly defenses around the league are suffering with the changes to the rules that greatly benefit offenses. Just wish ours played better.

Mayo is a slow mlb  playing out of position and Adams even though he had 2 ints. Is slow as molasses in the winter. He gets  beat deep a lot

I think both Gettlemen and Shula having inside info on our D played a part as well.

We played Carter Jr. a few times which was good and now TD is returning.  We'll see next week.  

If we can get to 4-1 with everyone back, we will be in really good position this year.   

The Giants also decided to finally focus around OBJ, Shepard and Barkley.  They're better than given credit for.  The talent is good.  

The biggest issue is pass rushing when Peppers is tired.  Addison is a speed guy, Horton is average, and Obada is young.  Maybe start rotating Cox Jr. in.

Our safeties are terrible, and our pass rush is non existent

Playing against a team that we should beat easily and it comes down to a last second field goal because our D can’t stop a nosebleed

This was never going to be an easy win i think some of you are overestimating the Panthers and underestimating everyone they play

[emhoward]

And pass rush was one of my biggest concerns going into the game.

[LinvilleGorge]

This defense is built around the front seven and getting pressure on the QB. We aren't getting pressure on the QB. This roster isn't built to play coverage.

Jackson got turned around just a little on the Russell Sheppard catch.  Washington my still be learning the job, but that wasn't on him.  Jackson didn't play the trick play well either.  He seems to be a good player, but still has a lot to learn.

I'd agree that play was on Jackson, and to Russell Shepard...Ugh.

He is a rookie, though.  You've gotta expect that.
