Yea I'm officially against investing so much draft capital in the front like this in the future. Still giving up 30 points per game is ridiculous with the talent and nearly half decade we've spent building up this line.. I mean how long are you supposed to wait until you see results?? I mean we're gonna have to start PAYING these guys soon and the question is gonna be are they worth it???

I mean we're gonna have to start PAYING these guys soon and the question is gonna be are they worth it??? Everything about this team is just either wrong, idiotic or just bad timing. Unless best available player was defensive linemen each of those years, it’s not a good idea to focus on one part of the team so much. You ignore the rest and never catch up. By the time you fill the other voids, your defensive line will be old or need to get paid. Like when we drafted 3 WRs in the same draft or the year we went after a bunch of corners. Just dumb.

Better for sure, similarly to how our defensive line is better for the investment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me the standard for a defense was the '92 and '04 defenses.. Yes '91 was amazing but when you have an offense like we had in 91 that was spotting the D so many points in the game it does make things easier for the defense. But in '92 and '04 our offenses stunk and our defenses were asked to be on the field more and do more. That '04 team they NEVER gave up 400 yards of defense and over 300 yards 7 TIMES, and NO one scored 30 points on them. Could you name anyone on that defensive line besides Griffin?? I mean even when the offense stunk up the place they STILL rolled out on the field like gangbusters ready to annihilate opposing offenses every possession, they didn't get their heads down. This defense though, they just don't have that mentality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's an amazing record that may never be sniffed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Its fine to invest heavily in one area if that area pans out. The DL just hasn't so far, mainly because the DTs are only slightly above average at best(outside of Ion who's hurt). Young is legit and Sweat appears to be improving a lot.

IrepDC Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 If we had decent coverage LBs and Safeties, our DL would be top 3 in sacks. We aren't seeing how good these guys are, because of how imbalanced our defense is built. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dckey Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Defense from last year to present 2019 2020 Sacks per game 10th 7th Yards per game 27th 15th 3rd Down Per% 32nd 12th Points Per Game 27th 22nd It's a process, but it is improving 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the heck are they going to do if 2 of these 3 guys were to go down? Have a guard play on the other side? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, the Browns game many of the yards came in the 4th quarter after getting worn out, due to the offense. Ravens, wipe out the Jackson run and they held the run game in check. The Rams game was the first game the defense didn’t really have any sort of answers, but it appeared Mccvay was a step or two ahead all game. Side note: I’m okay with Allen not getting the cool stats if that means a nice extension at a fair rate Is it bad I hope Matty Ice gets extended this off-season while injured at a good rate as well.

Some things people said to me this offseason as I was preaching the LB need: “We have Del Rio and Rivera, they are going to make these guys better.” ”We have much bigger needs, like corner” Among others. Hopefully they take LB seriously this offseason. It’s the next step to making this defense better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFi Skins Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 I don't know if Holcomb has even played yet and we were all hoping Foster would have recovered and been a factor. SDH had apparently improved quite a bit but we have yet to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holcomb is okay, but he doesn’t play down hill. He’s reactionary. He doesn’t attack the LoS. I kept hearing people say SDH was better but I didn’t see it happening that quick. LB has to be corrected. I don’t care who was right and who wasn’t. It needs to be fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that may have been the mindset going in from the some of the coaches thinking the DLine would overshadow the average back 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
