Quote:How do ya figure that one? Ever heard of a 3-4 OLB? Last I checked those guys rush the passer, and last I checked rushing the passer is an important enough task to be worth a 3rd overall pick.
34 OLB's rush the passer, yes. That is the point.
Quote:Beasley played last year. Fowler didn't.
Even when Beasley wasn't getting sacks, though, he was racking up pressures...just like Mack was when people point out that he only had 4 sacks his rookie year. Later on in the season the sacks started coming for Beasley (remember him taking over the game against the undefeated Panthers late in the year?) and Mack. In their second years they both went gangbusters.
Fowler has gotten some pressures on the stunts, but on any sort of traditional pass rush he looks like he doesn't belong on the field. There's a pretty big difference between how Fowler has looked compared to Beasley and Mack.
How about Fowler, Jack, Telvin? That sounds pretty good to me. I always thought Fowler would be better as an OLB than a straight up DE.
Also, this coaching staff is actual AIDS. Let's wait for a coach to utilize his talents correctly, and if that doesn't work... Then I'll agree.
Quote:Fowler has not shown anything in his career ever to suggest he is a pass rushing defensive end. Not in highschool, not in college, and not through 7 games in the NFL. What makes you think a switch will all of a sudden be turned and he will become a double digit sack artist? Fowler is who he is, a fast linebacker who hustles and plays agaisnt the run well and can do a little bit of everything and can get pressure rushing the A-Gap. Can he be a good player? Yes. Is he ever going to be worht the 3rd pick in the draft? NO.
To be fair, when has this coaching staff ever been able to put players into good position to get a pass rush or learn how to pass rush? Seriously, for a staff that "requires a pass rush with 4 players alone", they have been horrible with virtually every end they have had. They have tried to be cheap with "also rans", and good pass rush teams can sometimes do that because they can build up talent.
Fowler was drafted for "what he could be as DE", but no one has taught him anything. Seriously, he should just be speed rushing everyone with a good lean, and no one taught him to do that in one whole offseason?
Yannick is doing well with rushing moves, because if what he learned as 5th year senior. It was the whole reason he staying back a year to get better at that.
Let's give him a different defensive staff and see what happens.

Agreed

Ngakoue was not a 5th year senior. And it doesn't have anything to do with the coaching staff, Fowler is just not a pass rusher. He is the same as Andre Branch in that department. Branch left this coaching staff. Is he doing anything in Miami? No.
It doesnt even look like the coaching staff spends any time with any of these young guys.
They have probably been updating their resumes and filling out job applications outside of Sundays since the 1st game of the season
No one was looking at Fowler as pure DE, most compared him to Khalil Mack but this coach staff is to far up its own backside to know how to use him.
Fowler at OTTO/SLB is what I always argued for but of course this staff and front office has no clue what they're doing with their players.

Dave was.
Quote:Dave was.
The GM doesn't pick what position the player plays, His job is to pick a player with talent. it's the coaching staffs job to put him in the right place something they have failed to do with any player.
He drafed him to rush the Passer and it was Bradley's job to make it work.
I can't believe we've already turned on Fowler now.

Dave literally said we picked him to be the LEO and rush the passer and get double digit sacks. If he's not doing that then the GM was wrong in his evaluation. The only way Fowler can rush the passer is through stunts. That is not what Caldwell thought, because Caldwell sucks.

When have you ever seen a first year DE with this bad of a coach staff do that.

Todd Wash is not a bad coach.

Then every GM sucks because there first year DE doesn't get 10+ sacks.

Really cause we've been bottom of the league in sacks the whole time he's been DE coach.
What top 10 defense has he run?
Should have hired Jim Schwartz but welp
So our defense is good, Wash is a good coach, and Fowler is a bust.....I love this board.

Our defense has not been the problem this year. Our guys are constantly gassed because the offense can't sustain any momentum. I don't have any problems with most of Wash's play calling except that prevent D on 3rd downs.
