So we have one bad preseason game and...

Good teaching film. Lots of examples of where not to be on defense. Have to give Reggie Bush some credit though. He made our interior defenders look very slow.

Anyway, are their concerns? Absolutely. But not more than we already knew about. We took a step back today, but lucky we have Cincy up next. Hopefully we can get some rhythm back and get back on track.

Our defense was horrible. The Dolphins just picked us apart. It is cause for concern... On the flip side, we just freed up some cap space so hopefully we can get some help.

Terrible showing. No way to frost or sugar coat anything about tonight.

Well considering it's the exact same score as what was handed to the Giants last week with, ironically, Jimmy being on the receiving side of a fumble, I'll just say we'llchalk it up to Preseason playing. But the defense was really bad.

defensive line IS a cause for concern, as is depth at CB. rj standford and whoever else they trotted out there look absolutely awful.

we shouldn't overact but let's not pretend there's zero cause for concern.

The 1st team d-line was bad and so was the 1st team o-line. Both lines were getting whipped the whole 1st half. Looked better in the 2nd half but those were our 2nd lines against the 'phins 2nd lines. I am hoping that the 'phins linemen are just really, really good this year because I just don't see how we can be that bad. Our 1st team O-line couldn't pass block or run block tonight

    • Just admit that you don’t follow all the draft discussions on here. If draft results were so random, how come some teams tend to be perennial losers like us and some teams are perennial winners and it all starts with the draft? It’s almost comical these type of stupid responses. Oh, why aren’t you the GM? Gee I wonder since I work in a completely different field. How about you give us some examples of where the huddle consensus drafting was worse than our drafting from 2018 to 2025? I know I’ve given a ton of examples and you just shoot this generic poo of oh you couldn’t possibly done better as an armchair GM. Why don’t you dispute any of my examples? Let’s go to Brooks. I wanted Frazier at C because I still feel like that’s a hole. Other Huddlers mentioned DeJean at CB. Here’s why many of us didn’t want Brooks because 1) he might not play due to tearing his ACL late in the college season, 2) any scout/GM worth their salt would know that the 2025 RB draft class was loaded and 3) trading up multiple picks knowing 1 and 2 seems silly. Heck, after the draft, pretty clear that day 3 was where the RB value was. The huddle was right on Brooks and at most, we’ll get 2 years of Brooks while Hubbard is still under contract. If you know so much about the underlying machinations of the draft, you should be able to dispute the actual examples and how the huddle’s picks were just plain lucky and how Dan, Scott and Marty’s picks were just unlucky. Pulling the why aren’t you an NFL GM is a much repeated response when an actual reasoned response isn’t possible. Our drafting hasn’t been unlucky the past 7 drafts, it’s just been bad with lost of idiotic moves that were far worse than the huddle consensus.

    • 100%!! Last year we focused completely on offense, and it made leaps, especially when Bryce settled in for the 2nd half of the season. We kept all those players and improved our RB stable this free agency! This year we focused almost entirely on D, specifically our run D. I expect it to jump to at least average, which would be awesome considering they are starting at dead frikin last. Our draft class from last year, however, doesn't exactly make me tingle. I know, I know..."traded away our first round pick, give them time to develop", but still. The 1 gem was Coker, a UDFA who I really like, but he ain't exactly Randy Moss. We have to do better! We can't afford to only build via Free agency.
