Idk guys...I'm not trying to be negative Nancy, but I will call it how it is. Our defense is trash!!! Had we played the packers, chiefs, ravens, bucs, saints etc. Those teams will be scoring at will just like dallas did. Maybe not the saints...they are weird this year. So I will throw in the Bills. While some of those teams are AFC...some are NFC. If we want the bowl then we have to defeat the NFC first. I'm pretty confident we will reach the playoffs, but when it comes down to it with how the defense is playing will most of you still be singing we are 4-0, 8-0, 10-0 when we are literally winning games in the last drive to even the dolphins? What about Goff and kyler?Where our offense is on fire and our defense finally makes a play in the closing seconds. I'd rather not take the chance. Fix the defense and let's hammer these clowns!!!
I'd still say switch to dominate man defense in press coverage. At least 75 percent man and substitute often. Flowers and Dunbar outside dbs and put Griffin on the slots. Bump these dam recievers until they reach the five yard distance and trail hella close if not ahead of their every step! Leave the safeties alone. Whether its diggs and Adam's or diggs and neal, diggs and randall....dont matter...they are fine. Besides Adam's is basically a linebacker in our scheme. The problem is short and middle field with line backers in zone. As much as I hate to say it...cuz bobby might be my all time favorite...he and kj need to come off the field on passing situations for quem and barton, quem and kirven, quem and some dam linebacker who can cover in zone over the middle. As linebackers in coverage on all 3 downs kj and bobby have started to hinder our dominance as a whole. Oh and lay off flowers. He plays 10 ft back because he is told to. No other way to explain guranteed slants for first downs. Those guranteed passes happen on both sides of the field by the way..not just to flowers. Think about it...in zone coverage who's responsibility is the crossing reciever...zone3 or 2.. its on linebackers. Corners play flats or deep thirds. If we put flowers in press we lock down that side just like we did when browner played. But only in man coverage.
Stop hating specific players. Offence or defense. It's a team game. Go hawks!
