Is it just me or does it seem like the D line has fell off a good bit since this guy got hurt.  Branch has gotten much better over the years but I didnt think the injury was going to hurt us as much as it has.  Thoughts

It's not just Branch, it's all of the injuries on the D piling up that are taking a toll.  Behind our young starters are even younger backups.  Secondary is struggling, the LBers are struggling, everything is going to be a struggle for the rest of the season.

Yeah, the loss of Ball has hurt also

And the loss of Poz is not helping either.

Meh...Branch is just a guy. Its a coincidence.

I think the biggest hurt came from Paul [BLEEP] but I do like the play from the rookie Smith. I didn't see him very much today. Did he get hurt too. Special teams have hurt us to much these past games. We have got to fix that b/c that is half our game. 

We are already dog poo with them.

 

Without them...

I think all of the guys going down is hurting, it keeps piling up :mellow:

We were fine last week, and this week we played the best oline in football so......

I thought it was the linebackers today our big guys were getting penetration but it felt like when the cowboys ran outside we were a man short or missed a tackle allowing him to cut back


thomas wasnt the best he has been and dekoda watson was a gem on special teams but a very poor run player and regularly took himself out of plays


I think if george comes back we will be better for it as thomas is pretty good at otto... Ball was a huge loss for us too

That actually helped, but whatever.

It's just you.  Branch is average.  

Branch makes this defense better. We haven't had an outside pass rush since he got injured. I'm a believer in Branch now. We might not be good with him, but we're definitely worse without him.

If Branch is average then we really miss him

Yes a normal Jaguar year.

I think the injuries at corner have hurt us more than the loss of Poz

Yeah the Ball injures to Ball and Branch have hurt the most, then Poz
