Where's the Defense?

I never thought I'd see the day that our Offense would be the one carrying the Team. It seems like the last 5 or 6 games this defense has been as porous as a sieve.

At Atlanta 392 yards and 45 points

At Green Bay 438 yards and 31 points

Tampa Bay 384 yards and 23 points

Denver 292 yards and 10 points (that one wasn't that bad)

At Giants 459 yards and 34 points (this was IMO the worst)

At Saints 417 yards and 31 points

Now I know we won most of these games but I don't think this will hold true during the post season. Against the saints it seemed like our secondary was out of position way to often and this wasn't the first game it seemed that way. Something needs to change IMO if we are to go far in the playoffs.

In some games (not all but some) we appear to lose intensity on defense after we get a lead. Is that the co-ordinator, the players or both?

I think Trgovac's system has lost its edge the last couple of seasons. And there are now three very good D coordinators available in Mangini, Crennel, and Marinelli (don't laugh at that one). I wouldn't mind seeing any of them after this season but I wont hold my breath.

      Testing Huddle Consensus

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Interviews are huge for Green.  I agree people can change and make dumb decisions, but he was straight up kicked out of a program and had to leave UVA.  That just doesn't happen for a one time minor offense.   It's why I've been cautious with getting excited about him.  If he checks out with teams, he could go quite high.  If he seems like a kid with some issues, then there could be a nosedive.

      Tyler Warren

      Will say, a Warren choice could be favorable if you're considering the FA and mid-rounder landscape.  FA on offense is simply bad this year.  There's no real multi-year investments.  Defense is much different.  There's also not exactly any true elevators on offense draft wise outside of Jeanty and Warren (I do like Loveland a lot).  So if one of the few blue chips is there...I mean... And R2-3 has more impact options on defense. There's some REALLY appealing IDL (which is one of my top concerns) Tyleik Williams, Norman-Lott, Alfred Collins, & Philips to name a few.  Also at EDGE with Elijah Roberts, Tuimoloau, Ivey, Swinson, & Princely.  Not to mention Xavier Watts and others at DB.   We'll be attacking FA first which will predicate a lot.  And we are likely looking heavy defense, it may make taking a blue chip offensive guy quite appealing depending on who we get.

      Is it really too late for Tepper to apologize and do the right thing with this abandoned project?
