The Defense Isn't That Great Either

[Butterfrog 2.0]

It's pretty good, Not Great by any means......... We're not getting much pressure on the QB's(Especially J.T.) our run D is mediocre at best, We've failed to create turnovers, and the D gives up drives/plays when it matters the most. The secondary is actually playing best, but QB's are getting an aweful lot of time to throw,(even when we blitz we seem not to get much pressure) We need the defense to be GREAT with as bad as this offense is, and it's not, it's just GOOD

They aren't great. EVERYtime we need them to step it up the blow it.

I disagree 100%. Both our stud DT's are out, and considering that, we are playing awesome!

They only start to fragment when the game is obviously over.

I know you want to divert the blame..........but it ain't gonna work. The O is entirely at fault.

I have to disagree...They are the ones who have kept us in the games...sure they let us down towards the end, but can we blame them?? heck, theyre on the field 75 % of the game...how much more can we ask?? in all of our games this season we've been within reach of a comeback...you can tell though, that this team is very badly unprepared & coached..

If the offense could score than the D would be GREAT. Scoring drives = less time D is on the field, less time on the field= less chance of breakdowns.

 

[unifiedtheory]

If it was'nt for our defense this team would be historically bad...

Place the blame where it belongs...Tony Wise, Wanny, Foerrster, Kieth Armstrong and the worst offensive line in football...

 

[jaxdolfan]

Yes. Our defense definitely is NOT the problem.

 

[Butterfrog 2.0]

mark my words....... this Defense is going to get torched against a potent offense!!!!

So the game was over at 6-3? That's when they started to fragment and let the Steelers ROOKIE QB pick them apart. I'm not blaming the defense for the loss, but they aren't great.They are still a top 10 defense. I'm blaming Feeley/Dave for this loss.
