I hope and it seems like there is now. They're all talking about it and they seem to have the guys in place to do it atleast. |

I'm pretty sure Clark reads my posts and is gonna say "shit, y'know what? Nut is right and I really should've done a club/rip to free myself. That guy knows his stuff and I'm gonna do that next time. Accountability matters - thank you, DJLN..." I'm always thinkin' ahead, O.City. Always thinkin' ahead...

That's true effort also plays a huge role w defense. Ray Lewis always talked about this and preached it. That's why it is important to have a strong intimidating leader to keep everyone in line on D. Hopefully Clark can play that role but he has got to play better otherwise players wont respect it

Digging a little deeper, the linebacker stats seem better than I originally thought (again, I still haven't seen the All-22). Lee had something like 8 or 10 snaps (depending on which source you use ... some places have us playing 58 defensive snaps others have us at 51 ... probably due to eliminating penalty snaps ... and I didn't take the time to count them myself). Either way, Hitch is listed as the only linebacker to play 100% of the snaps. Wilson had about 80%. As for the way they used the linebackers in the scheme, it wasn't a base 4-3 from the get-go. They mixed it up a bit. It appeared that they entered the game in a "nickle" (or something similar) with 3 corners, 2 safeties, 2 linebackers, and 4 down linemen. FAX |

When even the Jags are forcing you to play mostly 2 LB sets, you know the league as we grew up with it is very different.
'Base' sets are going to be even less common than they were last year. I was thinking we'd see 3 LB looks around 25% of the time and now I'm thinking it may be nearer 15%. Nobody is using 21 personnel anymore.

I also think we worry to much about people running the ball on us. Sure, don't get mauled, but as long as the offense is just blasting people, it won't really be a worry. |

Overall it was a C- performance at best but they still did come up big at a critical juncture of the game and it was never really in doubt. |

Not gonna flip through all these posts right now but if it hasn’t been said, I’ll add that the defense seemed extremely vanilla yesterday.

Much MUCH better on fundamentals, tackling and overall "attitude".
Middle of the pack D is what we asked for, middle of the pack D is what we probably got - and we may improve as the season progress. They won't be able to run the clock as they did last year, so who knows... |

I've been bitching about the lack of back 7 talent for what seems like 3 years now. They're mostly made up of training camp cuts and guys other teams didn't want to pay. KC has had one first round pick in 4 years, and spent it all on offense (and, you know... what an awesome Pick. Super A+ for that one first rounder.). KC's last 4 years of defensive back 7 draft picks: Thornhill (cross your fingers), Rashad Fenton, Dorian Odaniel, Armani Watts, Tremon Smith, Keivarie russell, Ukeme Eligwe, Eric Murray, and DJ White. Jesus. We need someone in our scouting department that can spot this talent, because we clearly don't have one. Last edited by WhiteWhale; 09-10-2019 at 06:50 AM.. |

Thornhill and Damien Wilson making plays. Don't listen to that negative nancy Direckshun.

One positive with the defense I thought was the tackling. They always seemed to have multiple guys flying towards the ball. Thornhill can run too. |

So basically what I got from everything I've seen is.....Frank Clark needs to be a superstar and Ward is a pile of shit that killed us.
