The d wasn't terrible yesterday. They could have cleaned up a few things. But they held them under 400 yards of offense (lol).
Chubb didn't run wild. Get the damn missed tackles cleaned up. |

No, they weren't terrible at all. They looked pretty good for long stretches.

Ron Parker even had a decent game.
Ragland is the worst player on this defense and it's really not even close. Why he's still out there, I have no idea. |

They stood up against the run? They were over 4 yards/carry.
And I'm not blaming Speaks for being out of position - he clearly is. As I said last week, I appreciate his effort and his motor is impressive. But the bottom line is that he's being asked to do something he's not equipped to do and it shows in his production. He was a BAD outside linebacker yesterday. Should he have been an outside linebacker? No - but he is due to attrition and I'm guessing a long-term plan that has him taking some lumps this season to learn and grow for the future. That speaks to the 'pick' with Landry - he has to know better not than to try to get undernearth Landry there and he'll learn that with experience. But he still failed due to a combination of inexperience and substandard athleticism. You don't grade him on a curve. The dude wasn't good yesterday. I think he was probably the LEAST effective player on the field. That's not entirely his fault because his body type just isn't built for this, but it is what it is.

But man he got roasted on that 3rd down play over the middle; pretty sure it was a 3rd. He looked like he got caught completely off guard by the possibility of a simple crossing route - flat footed as hell. I'm not sure what he thought his responsibility was there but that's EXACTLY the kind of play he can make on this defense that could make him hugely valuable and he just wasn't ready for it. This was the first game he's been involved in where I don't remember him coming up with an impact play. He had a hold where he got fooled a bit by the route and then that play over the middle. That's about the extent of his contributions I can recall. Definitely a bit of a step-back game for DoD. But we're gonna need to keep sending him out there because he's the only chance we have to keep James White from going off for 200 total yards and 3 scores in the post-season. He needs to learn.

They held CHubb under 4 ypc. I don't really care about the other rushes.

Nelson is playing at a high level this year, still didn't like his FU to the fans.

We're all on the same team and happily eat crow if it means we errored for suckage in a player that surprises.
