We play Hurts, Prescott, Rodgers, Jones, Allen, Herbert and Mahomes this year and all those QBs can run. Although we could try to counter this challenge by using Curl or Collins as a spy to try contain those QBs.

Good point.
And on top of those we play many very good QBs that we'll have to keep guessing a minimum. Otherwise the likes of Brady, Wilson and Ryan will have a lot of fun identifying good man to man match ups pre snaps...

Hurts may be the worst starting QB week 1.

Ron Rivera: WFT's defense has been 'so disappointing' at times

"Then you see things and go, 'Man, that is so not us,'" Rivera continued. "'That is so disappointing. That is almost immature.' Again, that's just us growing and learning."

It's really nice to know me and Ron are on the same page about the performance of our D so far.

Im somewhat confused on our coverage. I thought we played LOTS of man last year. We brought in Jackson who is a physical corner and drafted long armed St Juste.

it seemed like we were targeting guys to jam at the line, play aggressive man thinking Qbs wont have more than 3-4 seconds to get rid of the ball bc of our pass rush.

but it seems like on 3rd and longs (and a lot of situational plays) our corners are playing off and soft. Id guess the goal is keep the receiver in front of them and in front of the sticks and drive on any passes in front of them.

are we playing corners man outside, LBs playing zone middle?

I think Keim tweeted yesterday Jamin Davis was replacing Bostic in nickle package yesterday but I saw a lot of Bostic in those situations.

If anyone comes across an in-depth breakdown of our D id love to read it.

I found this about last year: https://www.hogshaven.com/2021/5/31/...g-to-get-scary

According to article in 2020 zone heavy with over 62% of coverage snaps in zone.

So are our defense.

Jamin Davis actually played more snaps than Bostic apparently, you probably didn't see him because they must have noticed that Bostic wasn't there an went elsewhere for their complementary completions.

Let's hope it continues to trend that way.

yeah that's pretty obvious, Sheehan said on his podcast yesterday that he thinks there's something going on internally that we don't know about. Some sort of rift between the coaches and players possibly.

This is pretty damning too, guys not giving 110%

My money is on Del Rio being the problem. We have the same team and technically we've added some talent to this defense. No reason why the team cannot carry over the same success they had late last season.

Bostic was on XM after the Giants game basically said the defense goal was to make teams one dimensional by stopping the run. Kind of odd mindset if true and Bostic isn't confused. For starters most teams are far more pass heavy. Stopping the run is basically trying to control a drippy faucet when you have a pipe burst in the basement. The reading has some other good info about that as a flawed approach. Average yards per a play is 2/3 less for rushing plays vs passing etc.

Well at least they have goals, but they haven't stopped anything yet.

Rushing yards/game allowed: 26th
Passing yards/game allowed: 29th
Total Rushing yards/game allowed: 31st
Points/game allowed: 29th
