Let's see, we're on our third or fourth major scheme overhaul in what 5 years? That's not consistency. And, I'll bet you we've run through at least a dozen linebackers in that time ... maybe more than to 20 come to think of it. Anybody remember Monty Beisel or Quinton Caver?
You can't build any kind of defense with that kind of massive turnover at those key positions ... let alone a C2. FAX |

The breakdown was predictable. Last year, in games that Allen was not in the backfield all day long, our D was awful. Allen's play-making ability hid the fact that we still appear to run the headless chicken defense.

Well since you asked....
![]() Now it has been pointed out that in the cover 2 you need quick, pass rushing DTs to get pressure from all 4 D-linemen but give me two huge 340+ fatties any day of the week. They rarely can be moved and require a lot of double teams. a la the Raven's old D with Tony Siragusa & Sam Adams. With Tank Tyler at 6'2 306 and Glenn Dorsey at 6'1 297, I've got to question their ability to hold up against mauling 320+ Guards which are common in today's NFL. Just my opinion..... Guess it doesn't help that our LBers are playing horrible either though. |

Blame lies at the feet of Lamar and Clark.

3 words: Gunther, Gunther, and Gunther.
My current state of mind is telling me that it can no longer be about the talent or the players we have. It has to be about the coaching. If it's not about the coaching....and we truly have had the worst talent on the defensive side of the ball for almost 10 years now.....Then Stevie Wonder must be our director of scouting/player personnel.

We cannot seem to sort out who needs to play linebacker or where to find them. Plus, you can't tell me that DJ came out of college without the potential to be a very solid player in this league. It's coaching. Or player evaluation. Or something along those lines. It has to be. FAX |
