Quote:Our CBs, OLBs and FS arent good enough to play man to man... they are doing zone to try to stop the bleeding but it isnt working... they need to figure out a fix at least at OLB.... and do more zone blitzs with the OLBs since they arent doing a great job at covering...

 

Dude... you say that, but, I look at it like this. We've been outscored now 118 points to just what? About 48 or 50 points? Whatever this defense is running RIGHT NOW, it's not working. We need to change something up, somewhere. I am not going to fault the defense completely for this team's failures though during the first three weeks. We cannot run the football. It's pathetic, and sad to see actually as a life long fan that grew up on this team. I don't think I've ever been a fan going into any off-season worrying so much about the running game. We always seemed to have that right somehow. Whether it was Stewart with Taylor, or Taylor with Mack and then later on, MJD, and then eventually MJD on his own. I can't recall seeing this team SO BAD at running the football. Whether it's lack of speed on the runningback, or just flat-out no holes or gaps opening up behind this offensive offensive line. It's mind numbing. In fact, the pass protections hasn't been this bad since arguably the 2008 season when Harris was picking up street free agent nobodies to plug and play.

 

I know we're still rebuilding. It's year two of the Gus and Dave era. But Jesus... it's not looking too good right now anywhere. With the exception of Hurns here and there and Bortles half-time emergence.I'll remain hopeful. But I would hate to see this team finish less than 4 - 12 from last year.
