Did O’Daniel even dress???

Make the trade.

Any defender would help, but cornerback is our least pressing need. We need.

1. Stop playing two-DL sets on anything other than (maybe) third and long.
2. A pass rusher. Any pass rusher. I miss having Justin Houston and wonder whatever happened to him.
3. An inside linebacker who's not useless. I miss Derrick Johnson.
4. A safety who's not afraid to tackle. I watched Ron Parker completely pull a Marcus Peters on a play tonight.

Wouldn't have made a difference today.

Safeties and ILBs are just murdering this team. And frankly, the down lineman were getting wrecked as well but in odd fronts, that's to be expected. Unfortunately, the run fits and general desire from the ILBs give them no help.

Hitchens, Ragland and Parker are killing us. And the 3rd safety is shite when he's on the field as well but that's an injury issue more than anything.

The CBs weren't the problem today and actually played pretty well again, IMO. The worst one was Fuller and it's not like hes gonna get benched.

Gotta fix the middle...

Yeah but fuck, how?

Unless there’s a 3 down do it al ILB out there to be had
[Reply]

You get Peterson take away half the field funnel shit to the middle Berry cleans up some of that
[Reply]

Berry isn’t gonna play

I’d forget about that

Dorian O'Daniel = fail
[Reply]

Unfortunately, I agree. He’s done....
[Reply]

this, I don't think he plays
[Reply]

He'll be back around the end of November if I was a betting man.

My honest answer?

You fix the problem with the defense today by not leaving 11 points on the board in the 1st half through unforced errrors on offense.

I know its chickenshit but this team was NEVER designed to win with its D. Its supposed to win on offense and for half the game it looked like shit.

Dont get me wrong - that's not a tenable long-term solution. But there's no panacea that's going to fix this defense this season. So you're going to have to win with what you have.

I'm floored by how completely ineffective Hitchens and Ragland are. They're just awful.

4-3, man. Quit asking as much of those guys as we are because they clearly arent up for it.

If you get Peterson and move Fuller to nickel and Scandrick to safety the defense starts to look a whole lot better.
[Reply]

No

Peterson, Bethea and Buchanon for third down situations

Make the deal.
