He is an edge rusher so he should be used that way. What is being done to him and Chinn is unacceptable. 

Snow is a joke in the NFL. 

I’d really like for us to draft/sign a true free safety with range, and use Chinn as an in box SS or just a flat out linebacker. 
 

His nose for the ball and natural instinct are perfect for that role. We were basically gifted a new defensive tone setter with Chinn right after Luke retired and all they have done is neutered him.

I have no idea why he is at FS for us still. When he was roaming spots as a rookie he basically was a LBer or SS with some CB thrown in. Now he is just avoidable for the most part. 6 tackles per game this year just seems like a waste. Every day I dislike Snow's scheme more and more. It's like Burns dropping back in pass protect. GTFOH with that BS.

Where was the defense ranked last season.  I don't think defense seems to be the problem.  The fact that we cannot score any points is the problem.  

That depends entirely upon which metric you judge by.

The Panthers would like you to believe they had the #2 defense in the league last year, because according to yards given up, they were that.

In the measure that actually translates into wins - scoring defense - we were 20th.

Figure out which number best suits you.

In all fairness, you'd expect to win games where you give up less than 20 points.

Yep, but yet we lose any game where the other team scores more than 19.  In today's NFL where everything is geared in favor of the offense, you need to put points on the board, bottom line. The defense is the only reason we were in any of the games this year and last.  Last week they were on the field for 41 minutes.  No defense can be expected to keep it up at that rate.  I would be curious how much time they spent on the field on the average last year.

      Canes vs Bruins 7pm Halloween Edition!

      By Anybodyhome · Posted

      As I said less than 10 minutes into the game, Boston looks nothing like we're used to seeing. Regardless, any curb-stomping of the Bruins is welcome.  The scorers all got the glory tonight, but all 6 D-men had excellent games. Across the board- Gost, Orlov, Chatty, Walker and, of course, Slavin & Burns.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      I just tried a few mock draft simulators and this is the only way lol. Nothing else makes sense.

      No, biggest weakness is pass rush, but I don't think there is a blue chip can't miss DE prospect to take at #1 this year, same as with QB.  But beyond that, moving forward, yea WR is a pretty damn big weakness. We have 1 game this season over 224 yards passing and just traded away our best WR (who wasn't going to re-sign here anyways).  That WR no longer on the team was also the only player we've had this year who had over 78 yards receiving in a game.  So again, yea, WR is one of our biggest weaknesses even right now, let alone moving into the future. As I just said in my other post, I love Legette, but he's not going to be a Top 5-10 WR type of guy, Top 15-20 I can see, I think he can be a good #1 WR or an elite #2. After that, what do we have for the future?  Thielen isn't part of it, sure as hell isn't going to be Mingo, and as much as we all like Coker, in no world is Coker as our #2 to Legette as the #1 going be considered as "having weapons" at WR, even with Brooks and Sanders. But put someone like T-Mac into that group, who I genuinely think is going to be a Top 5 WR in this league for a long time, and it changes things.  A Top 5 WR with Legette/Coker as the 2/3, along with Brooks and Sanders, has the potential to be one of the best set of offensive weapons in the league if they reach their potential.
