What? Wise was our no. 3 DT and Toothill is effective for the limited snaps he gets (he had 2 pressures last week in limited snaps)
Wow ... DT depth is a problem. Allen playing hurt and Wise NEEDS to be ready vs Eagles.
------------------
Run D - on most runs, there are O lineman getting quickly to the second level and just attaching themselves and locking down the LB, particularly Holcomb. DT needs to keep our LBs clean but our LBs need to shed some blocks and make some plays.
If Holcomb isnt getting blanketed with a block he is over pursuing and taking himself away from the attack.
Last year, 3rd down pass coverage w Bostic was the achillies heel. 2 games this year, its the run D.
191 yards when their best guy Swift was limited. When you knew they were going to come in and establish the run. When you had all week to come up with a game plan.
Holcomb isnt going anywhere .. we didnt add or train another guy to be the green dot. Mayo/bostic arent answers.
LB play .... everyone questioned it going into the season, so far its the biggest issue.
