How is Theilen so wide open on third down?

[hugecanoli]

Frustrating.

 

[morgulon1]

Teams simply run underneath routes all day . Been happening for years

 

[hugecanoli]

Just happened again with another dude being wide open on third down.
we suck on third downs. Both O & D. Major problem.

Frustrating.

The Hawks have been playing soft zone all season.

Teams have figured it out.

I really dont trust this defense to do anything good. They are going against a over the hill back up qb and getting torched on 3rd downs. Its the same story year after year.

All season. It’s been that way since the end of the LOB

 

[Maelstrom787]

They're going to have problems like that as long as Wagner is playing this many snaps. He's money between the tackles, but he is not capable of carrying against receivers, or even really impede them.

Guys like Barton and Bush could/can, but just... aren't Bobby Wagner when it comes to fighting through blocks and winning in the run game. It's difficult.

I'd have to watch again to know for sure that THIS one was on Wagner, but that's been a general theme so far.

Because we have some of our worst DBs in there

 

[Jerhawk]

Underneath rub routes that our LBs and DBs continue to routinely have issues communicating on

 

[Scout]

Soft zone has no place in the modern NFL.

It looked like Love ran in front of Burns. I think burns was already toast this play any way. I see Love screen off other defenders all the time.

Love seems like a liability out there imo. Hopefully he gets it figured out

 

[suppaball]

I think with woolen and Adams in the game this is not happening.

Love is also nursing a hamstring. Was questionable. They got nothing at safety.

 

[hugecanoli]

Aaaaaaaaand it happened again.

 

[Wheetie]

Wagner on Thielen, LOL

 

[Scout]

Can't play soft zones.

Need to give the front seven time to attack the QB.

 

[MyrtleHawk]

At this point, double cover Thielen on 3rd downs.

 

[JPatera76]

At this point, double cover Thielen on 3rd downs.

I mean they're double covering lockett... makes sense. Odd pete refuses to do stuff like that.

 

[strohmin]

God I ******* hate this defense. They cant stop anything when it matters. What made Pete hype them up all season? This is pretty embarrasing. LOB 2.0 my ass.
