3 Man Rush

Yeah but to drop in rankings somebody else has to be trending up. 

If everyone else does the same they normally do and we do worse than we normally do we would trend down without anyone else trending up.

Thus why saying we are 13th in yards and 13th in points(Albeit better) doesn't really equate to how this defense is playing. 

I mean when you watch our games when we play a normal NFL defense with at least a 4 man rush we produce. But for some reason Snow doesn't want to get out of 3 man rush and horrible zones. When we play that we get walked all over. When we play man like we have tonight with a 4 man rush we produce. It's not rocket science. Somebody just needs to rip the 3 man rush section out of Snow's playbook.

The defense does not look good, however, in fairness they lost two starters in the secondary...Burris and Douglas were playing pretty well before going out. That is hard to replace. 
also losing YGM and KK did not help either. Now Kerr is out today. Plus Jackson is not 100%.
Lots of key injuries.....sooner or later that will catch-up to any defense.

Can.. can Phil Snow please throw all plays featuring a 3 man rush in the trash. It has not worked one time ON THIRD AND LONG!!!!!

If you're referencing the play midway through the 1st that was an absolutely great defense play call. It was a 3-6-2 disguised as a blizt. 57 ROLB had an obvious slide step but was focused center and the slot sat in the hole outside of 57 enough to get the ball. 

Keep that play! Just do it better.

3 man rush is killing us.

I get why people hate it, but our back seven coverage is bad enough that I can understand wanting to devote an extra man to it.

The results are probably six of one, half dozen of the other.

Oops wrong thread.

It sure is... today. Learning takes place. They stick with it. The versatile look develops. Nasty upside.
