KevinthePRF Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 Rodgers forced one fumble that luckily for the Hawks headed straight for the sideline, but I wish this defense could find a way to generate some more turnovers. Any ideas? It's just scaring me how at times our defense has looked a bit like a "bend but don't break" defense at times. Especially at key times yesterday late in the game.

Fifty Gut Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 we had a number of oppertunities there I saw one pass that Taylor could have returned for an TD that Rogers forced fumble was insane, helmet right to the ball the oppertunities are there, it's only a matter of time before we start getting em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CutTHROAT Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 I think we need to get pressure from our D-line. If we get that we can maybe have a QB rush his throw and then INT. Dont see this happening though cause our line is weak on pass rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead Money Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 Pressure on the QB creates turnovers. We need more of it! In this game we were dealt with some injuries in the secondary, but the lack of INTs is really getting old! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinstzar Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 Our Defense is in trouble. I think Seattle showed the NFL how to move the ball against us in the fourth quarter. A lot of slow developing plays that find recievers open short with room to run in front of them. Denver will kill us if we don't adjust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldskool Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 We dont get enough pressure from the outside to create turnovers from the QB. Im not sure why the LB's and DB's arent causing them in the open field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avg Joe Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 Our Defense is in trouble. I think Seattle showed the NFL how to move the ball against us in the fourth quarter. A lot of slow developing plays that find recievers open short with room to run in front of them. Denver will kill us if we don't adjust. I was using yesterday to see how the 'D' would play against an actual offense and I came away thinking the defense was a lil suspect. They had the opportunity to really show what they were made of and they allowed Seattle to go 91yds for a score. And it wasnt like there was one fluke long play, that was a solid professional drive. I'm going to lose my mind trying to figure out why the play so soft in the secondary. I really don't understand the large cushions they give. Especially when you aren't generating any pass rush. For all the different looks they supposedly give, they don't do anything spectacular, they don't disrupt the offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlito Sway Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 Need #56 for turnovers. Carlos forced a fumble, this is his first game as a starter. S. Taylor is nicked up . . . I think when you blitz so much, there's no chance to go for a pick, 'cause if you miss . . . so they just break it up or wrap up. Turnovers will come. Seattle has a good QB and great RB. Yesterday was a test. They didn't quite pass with flying colors, but they did enough to win. They'll get better week by week, just like the O will . . .

Darth Tater Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 Some of our hitting was not as crisp as it has been, only one FF and a couple of missed tackles which I hope and believe was the result of guys not being 100-percent. I thought LA would create some havoc but it seems the coaches disagree with me, so I guess I'm probably wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLiverpool Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 Harris didn't play and Taylor was out in the 4th. Clark is no Taylor, and though Rogers shows promise, Harris is the better corner right now. That could be a big reason our D looked soft. Lavar would help too, hopefully they start to work him in more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnhay Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 I think we all would agree that Lavar would up the intesity of this team. He would force turnovers himself, and motivate others to force turnovers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fdarugar Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 Our Defense is in trouble. I think Seattle showed the NFL how to move the ball against us in the fourth quarter. A lot of slow developing plays that find recievers open short with room to run in front of them. Denver will kill us if we don't adjust. Seattle's offense is a superior unit when compared to the Broncos' O. Bobby Engram burned us all day and Shaun Alexander is probably the best pure rusher in the league. Ashlie Lelie and Mike Anderson don't scare me. However it will be a tough game at Mile High, definately another close one, hopefully we can get some pressure on Plummer and the secondary will step it up a notch.

Kevin West Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 Coach Williams's Defense has never been that big on turnovers: In 2003, the Bills had 18 turnovers (10 INT, 8 FUM), last in the league. Yet, their overall ranking that year was 2nd, behind the Dallas Cowboys. In 2004, the Redskins had 26 turnovers (18 INT, 8 FUM) 22nd in the league. The overall defense ranked 3rd. Thus far in 2005, it's 2 turnovers (1 INT, 1 FUM), 28th in the league. And the overall Defense is ranked 5th. Turnovers often occur when players take chances. Unfortunately, those chances can also result in opposing teams TDs. This defense isn't about taking those chances. It's about getting the Defense off the field as quickly as possible. I don't think any one can complain about the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubba9497 Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 we cold have some chance against Denver, if the Fake instead of the Snake shows up Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truant Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 But Gregg Williams WANTS more turnovers. The first drill he runs in training camp is returning INTs. He has been quoted saying that while they have a good D, to be remembered they have to create turnovers. That the great defenses that are remembered today are held in that regard because of the turnovers they force. LaVar Arrington is AN answer to our inability to create turnovers. Another playmaker on this defense will put us over the top. Forced fumbles, sacks and INTs are sitting on the bench. Talk about missed assignments if you want, but as a pass rushing DE, how much responsibility is there on obvious passing situations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
