WTF is wrong with our defense

[mc52beast]

Pretty sure we can say with 100% certainty that as of right now there is no chance of us losing a DC at the end of the season

Another punch to the gut

 

We are currently 31st out of 32 in redzone defense so far this year.

Also folks, remember, this comic exists for reason: 

[NAS]

Rivera should take a more hands on approach with the defense to get this fixed.  God knows he can only mess up the offense.

washington is a terrible dc i dont want to hear it from no one . 

[The Lobo]

Losing Mcderrmott hurt bad. I just don’t like Washington’s schemes. Maybe Ron will take over? 

[Millioso7]

Most of these assessments suck but it really comes down to are vets being a little long in the tooth but They’ll come around as the season progresses just like our younger guys needing time and reps to improve..

26th in pass D currently

I have watched and that’s how I know they’ve been one of the best in the NFL but are now playing poorly. 

You’re lack of knowledge is almost as disappointing as their play. 

LOL, REALLY? This Defense has been average as fug for 3 years now. I mean, really? Did you not witness us get skull fuged by the Saints 3 times? They can't stop a good QB, a shitty one anymore, or clearly a great one. But yeah, I'm not knowledgable. You guys are incorrigible.

The defense look bad...like real real bad late in the game yesterday. 

Jackson came down to earth hard.  Reid was a non factor.  Adams had two interception and still was getting burned deep.

Maybe it was the heat. 

It appears that Washington < Wilks< McDermot

On a side note, I was thinking Norv > Shula, but yesterday caused me to pause.

we lack depth. we have no pass rushers, we don't make trades, we've draft busts for pass rushers, we blitz Shaq Thompson like he's Von Miller or Clowney but he's basically a great tackler safety who's a coverage LB.

We blitz the weirdest people. We love to blitz Munnyrlyn. He does his best and sometimes he gets there but Shaq or Captain vs a RT or LT is rarely a win.

seems the zones are weird or soft and they have been on and off for years. Bradberry is great but if he goes down were fuged at CB. IDC Donte Jackson will get bullied vs Michael Thomas, Julio, Mike Evans. Luke and Shaq are pretty good at covering TEs but leaves the middle. We don't have a hybrid safety type like Honey badger... who we could of got. Or a chancelor or Thomas. 

 

turnovers seem to be hit or miss. or just pure luck. seemed to slow down without Peanut around to preach for fumbles. TD and Peppers seem to be the best on the team when it comes to popping the ball loose

Told y’all before the season started, this is an average team .  I just looked at the stats and this Swiss cheese defense just gave up 432 yards to the giants.  Wait to see what the Saints do to them.  

We aren't average but we aren't great yet. But as Norv said it isn't how you play in October but in January and February that counts. We play the Saints  in December and we are great in December. Let's see who is right.... 

[panthers55]

So if our defense gets better when Davis returns maybe we can put to bed the whole Davis is too old and Shaq should get all his snaps crap......

[ZoneRead]

We only want a pass rush from the front 4 and they're not getting there we need to blitz a little.

 

Ron is running the defense
