Quote:The problem with Chris Clemons age is that he needs to be rotated out and I feel that Andre Branch has done a spectacular job filling in by getting 3 sacks in 3 games (tied for 3rd in the NFL), but your attention goes to the LEO because of the poor performance at OLB, and a few critical mistakes at key moments by Safety.

I disagree wtih the statements about Poz, he's one of the best players on our Defense but he's trying to do too much (making up for the poor performance and missed cues of OLB).  They need to work on tackling, the basics.  You have to wrap it up.

They need to work on the zone coverage for OLBs because the young guys arent getting it.

 

Its a young team and you have to expect mistakes, but being blown out for three weeks in a row (regardless of how inept Chad Henne and our Offense was) isnt really an excuse for their performance.  They should do more OLB blitzs since they arent that great at covering...

 

Poz is definitely one of the best players on this defense, but would he be one of the best players on many other defenses? Probably not, when you're giving up yards and points at the rate this defense is it's more than just tackling and working on the basics, this defense is devoid of talent at every level, the only player I'd considered a cornerstone is Jonathan Cyrpien, you can argue that every other position needs an upgrade.
