The Linebackers

[Regulus]

Jenkins and Misi were horrific today. I can't believe we have never been able to replace Misi. Both of these guys are borderline NFL players that should be depth players on bad teams but they are starting for us.

Yes they were bad but the scheme was worse. No adjustments and the defense looked like a deer in headlights the entire game. Terrible coaching

I honestly couldn't understand how we couldn't stop those sweeps. They only ran it to that side like 10 straight times.

Our linebackers are an absolute atrocity. Misi and Jenkins both blow. I hope Butler gets up to speed soon. He needs to be replacing one of them.

Do we have linebackers?

The linebackers suddenly just don't become horrible. Its a coaching or scheme issue. Sure we do not have world beating talent at the positions but its at least average and with great coaching it can be superior. Same thing at cb why were we playing off the line when press man coverage would have worked.

Kiko is looking great tho. That's a plus

Other than him linebackers are horrible. Freaking horrible. They barely deserve to be back ups let alone startes

Linebackers aren't great but they weren't the obvious problem today. Secondary got abused.

Alonso will do his job and even make some splash plays but that last drive is why guys like zach thomas will always be missed. You know they're running the ball with a 250 pound back and a 3rd string QB protecting a lead. Can't get washed out that easy snap after snap.

Maxwell was the dallas thomas of this game and the safeties weren't far behind. Howard has been a pleasant surprise though ...

by the way, for the younger generation fans that weren't around / too young to recall the '80s, this is exactly what watching a fins game felt like. Couldn't stop the run and teams ran on us w the same 2-3 plays all game long. A couple of those sequences where Blount was hammering us I thought I was watching the '82 Super Bowl again.

After some quick second glances, I didn't think Misi and Jenkins were all that bad. Well, compared to Alonso anyways. Kiko made a very few select stand out plays, the rest of his performance was awful.
