Our Defense

[erickench]

If we're really gonna run a 3-4 then these depth charts should show it. Our line should consist of Hemingway, Laula, and Fatukasi with Crosby and Paye as our OLBs. Crosby played linebacker in high school. The position is not entirely strange to him.

Our defense is offensive.

When opponent running backs attack the line with a burst its like Swiss cheese.

Every time we get pressure on the QB the outlet safety valve is 100% open and they get a huge gain.

With mobile QB's the team needs a spy. 3rd down long gains kill the defense.

[Amish Cabal]

Offense is good. Special Teams are good. Could've been the next worst to first story if it weren't for the non-existent defense. More talent this year yet worse. People bitched about Pat Graham, but he did more with less. Yeah, Robbie's seat should be getting toasty.

[Boomer14-]

I wouldn't be surprsed if he is fired today!

I like our secondary. A lot of young talent, but just inconsistent. Our LB's are also pretty good.

Our DL needs to be completely redone. A couple of our DT's would be decent backups, not starters.

Our DC is terrible at putting the pieces together. Defenses need to have an identity. Ours identifies as a broken sieve.

We turned the ball over 5 times yesterday against the best team in the NFC. The defense is crap but they played better in the second half and no defense will hold up when the offense can't take care of the football.

Hang yesterday's loss on turnovers and an inability to run the ball which in my opinion is a bigger liability than the defense right now.

Anyways the 49ers were who we thought they were.

WOW!!! That's pretty good. He would've been a 1st round pick had it not been for the injuries.

dline is the problem dt/nt position especially, if we had competent dt/nt our linebacker would flourish and our secondary would be top 10

I think it's time to consider that Leonard might be one and done. This defense isn't a finished product by any means but I think there is more talent than what the product on the field is showing.

Niners are good but don’t forget their top 3 WRs missed the game. We made their practice squad backups look decent. I blame the lack of pass rush most of all

[ALLRAIDERWORLD21]

The walk in TD for McCaffery with Tonka dropped in coverage to cover him was abysmal. I get you're blitzing faster defenders off the edge to get to the QB but at least drop a safety to give him a chance. The blitz, basically a delayed Quay Walker and Taron Johnson, didnt get there in time regardless and then you have a DT covering the RB outlet in the flat after Kittle clears out the zone..This defensive playcall should be ripped from the playbook and burned.

Yeah but we knew the defense is struggling.. even with the pic 6, it would have been 28-24 and and a close game mid 3rd quarter if Mayer doesn't fumble that TD..and I'm not putting the loss on Mayer, it was just one of those days. I also think if you're going to throw punch at someone intending to cause a fumble, you better hit the ball first and not someones body or arm cause that should be a flag..

If your offense has a bad game here and there, it's fine because it's going to happen to nearly every team in the league every year. But if your defense is giving up 30+ every game and putting the offense behind the 8 ball every game, it's not going to matter how good your O is. It also means scrapping the game plan by halfway through the second quarter because you have to stop the bleeding.

With an average defense, this team cold be 6-2 right now.
