Lar0n Landry Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 We are near the bottom of the League with only 6 sacks in 4 games. Romo sits to pee pretty much was chillin all day in the pocket. Although we did manage to get pressure on him a few times it wasn't really enough IMO. Philly has the best pass rush in the League and I think it would help tremendously if we could get in Mcnabb's grill and force him into making some bad throws or getting some sacks. I'm sure the fact that Blatche isn't blitzing all that much has something to do with it but our front 4 needs to do a better job as well. If this has been posted just merge or delete.

Meskeet21 Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 i think blache will send the house more often now because he sees what our secondary is capable of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shilsu Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Hopefully Jason Taylor gets healthy. Else, our best chance for a pass rush will be next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saqs Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 I think our ends are doing fine. The problem is no pressure from the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IbleedBnG83 Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 I think its going to catch up eventually. They need to step it up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shilsu Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 I seriously thought Montgomery was doing a great job last year in collapsing the middle, he was just overrunning the QB too much. I wonder what happened to his worth ethic to get benched. Did he get lazy again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redskins55 Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Our secondary shows just how good they are covering receivers.. But our D-Line has played some good offensive lines. cowboys,giants,saints,and cardinals are all very good offenses with top QBs. So when we do get pressure it seems like the QBs quickly get rid of the ball. No doubt we need more production from the ends and tackles up front.

Phat Hog Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 I think Taylor will help when he's back. Not that worried though...not yet anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#98QBKiller Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 We're doing better than last season IMO. But both of or offseason acquisitions at DE (Jason Taylor & Erasmus James) are injured right now. I think once those guys come back we'll see a lot better pass rush, which will right in time for our divisional home games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead Money Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 McNuggett's the king of dink and dunk till you drop then bam bomb.. Sound familiar. We don't get pressure - we lose this game (PERIOD) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emor09 Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 i want McIntosh to blitz! he is a great blitzer but we don't give him enough oppurtunities he will be able to shut down LJ Smith easily, but i want him to blitz at least once each drive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phishisthegreatstuff Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 taylor will def. help but we better spend every draft pick on D and O line next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger187126 Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 First of all rewatch the game because Romo sits to pee was getting really nervous in there because with only 4 guys he was getting tight in the pocket with no obvious reciever to throw too. he looked very uncomfortable all game, plus how many plays did his elusiveness save him? not having taylor may have been beneficial because teams run right at him because he is undersized and cannot hold up against the run, evans does a much better job. no one is going to pin their ears back and get to the qb better than taylor does though.

DexterSackMachine Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Not until it becomes a real problem. Despite our low defensive rankings, we have played some of the best offenses in the league and in many cases they had their worst week against us. They will rack up some sack numbers later in the year. I still think Taylor and Carter finish in double digits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what happened to his worth ethic to get benched. Did he get lazy again? No, he didnt get lazy, he was born lazy. He had a good year last year, we'll hear from him again in approximately 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecardiacrll Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 I think we got great pressure on Romo sits to pee, he was running for his life. The fact of the matter is Romo sits to pee is great at avoiding the rush and the cowgirls oline is pretty damn good. Just look at the stats he has only been sacked 2 times all year.

PCS Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 And going against a couple of the better Olines in the business can be a bit of a challenge as well. It also doesn't help to be going against a fairly elusive QB. There were a couple of times where I was certain the Redskins had the sack on Romo sits to pee but he somehow got away.

gutlead74 Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 WTF are you talking about I have watched every game multiple times, Romo sits to pee is running for his life and often after plays Romo sits to pee was getting off the ground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digger Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Just don't send Smoot on a CB blitz. How many times in years past did he have a clear shot on the QB only to bounce off and hurt himself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyHolt Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 If Garrett had half a brain he would have called a lot more long developing plays to send two guys deep and try and fool our FS like they did last year for 4 TD's. They run Whitten up the seam force the FS to step left and then have the late guy going deep on the other side. They ran too many precision short routes against our tight man and failed. They had all the time in the world folks and even we know good man to man coverage can only last so long. Our defense will not be lucky like that every game. We need a pass rush and I want to see a few more blitzes along with some stunts. Why dont we ever stunt or try anything other than a bull rush?

The fact of the matter is Romo sits to pee is great at avoiding the rush and the cowgirls oline is pretty damn good. Just look at the stats he has only been sacked 2 times all year. I do have to admit we did get some pressure on Rolo, but it was more often than not the collapsing pocket kinda thing. He had no run options - the benefit of bull rushing and staying in your lanes. He did have 300 yds and decent day so we really didnt shut him down. We handcuffed Whitten his baby blanket and tight man on TO and stayed in our rush lanes and contained him. We did get a lick on him late I was very happy. But that was not our plan, full credit needs to go Blache. Romo sits to pee was at his near best in that game and could not beat us.

Gregpeck99 Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 We need to blitz creatively ... with corners and linebackers other than Washington ... he looks like he is moving in slow motion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thinking Skins Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 I think our ends are doing fine. The problem is no pressure from the middle. I disagree. I think Griff and Golsten/Monty are doing pretty well inside. They are doing a good job of getting pressure on QBs and tipping balls. One thing thats got to be considered in all of this is that we've gone up against a QBs who has a pretty quick release (Brees) and one who is very good at avoiding pressure (Romo sits to pee). We coulda got more pressure on Warner, but even his release is pretty quick and we decided to force them to run the ball by taking away the pass.

Fifty Gut Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 I'll take run defense over a pass rush any day, especially with our secondary. We got pressure just no actual sacks. Romo sits to pee is quick with the ball. As long as we get enough pressure to disrupt a QB's rhythm (like we did Sunday), I'm happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
