What Now
Let’s treat 1st 2 games as exhibition games with next 10 our regular season.
Really have to get all the DB’s heads screwed on right. Gray, in particular–but after re-playing the game–no real pressure on the QB in passing situations and that makes it very difficult to maintain coverage. 2 games and I can’t recall 1 sack or good pressure on either QB.
The strength of this team was supposed to be the front 7 which in turn would help the DB’s with pics–isn’t happening.
So what do you do–well last 30 seconds, knowing they have to pass why not get the best line athlete on field with one job only–get the QB. Aaron Lynch should have been the guy.
He is every bit as good as Teo was as a freshman–get him on the field starting right now.
Get Tuitt much more involved. Niklas and Williams need more playing time also.
All of these guys would be starting elsewhere.
Run defense was very good but changes have to be made in obvious passing downs.
Somehow we need to get Teo freed up. Too often he is shielded out of the play.
Speaking of LB’s Calabrese was really hammering anyone he came in contact with while Fox showed good speed and range.
Nix again was a force but Johnson and Moore really have to step it up.
Next up more conventional teams–we simply have to play guys that can rush the passer. OLB’s real disappointment at this stage.
We can run the table if we just play the right guys on D.
If anything, you can bet that the D as a whole will be fully re-evaluated this week.
Let’s hope so.
One thought on “What Now”
They MUST play Lynch and Tuitt in this game. It’s a must.
