What good is a decent run defense...

M.S. : 12/1/2019 4:14 pm
...when there is little -- if any -- pass rush?

Everyone knows our secondary sucks (we see you #34), but part of their suck is because our pass rush sucks even more.

So, in the end, it won't matter who replaces Pat Shurmer. The next coaching regime better find a pass rush or they will shurm up the place once again.

Haley is horroble

But got to like what Love has brought to the table. Too bad took this long to get him in there.
It's hard to judge the seconday...

too harshly. There is very little from the front 7 and what has to be the worst linebackers in the NFL.
I would like a good run defense and players

dovetailing with a bend but don't break, tough redzone defense.

But we got Betcher cover 0 with Bethea defense.
A run defense gives a the defense a chance

But you are absolutely right....a pass rush must be a given on 3rd and long.

Chase Young hopefully will change that
defense is swiss cheese

and our offense throws dink and dunk all over the field and can only score 17 pts? Offense is all wrong too. At one point in the game we controlled TOP but were losing. unreal
Step 1 - build a team focused on a dominant run D

Step 2 - spend a very high draft pick on RB to build a dominant running game.

Step 3 - Build a time machine and go back to an era prior to today's rules favoring passing offenses.
I think there is a decent

Chance that this defense takes a big leap forward next season pro icing there is a change at DC. Chris Spellman as an announced was calling out some very valid criticisms of the techniques being employed by our defense. There is some talent on the defense but we need a solid pass rusher and 2 new LB's.

Step 4 - trade a 3rd and a 5th for Leonard Williams.
bw, if he re-signs...

it's a 3rd and a 4th. And, of course, most likely the second 3rd round pick, and the second 4th round pick. That's some high-priced real estate.
