Our LB’s and safeties are a huge issue
We have way to many wide open receivers running intermediate and even long routes.
our inside LB’s are not closing/ filling gaps in the run game. We need a stud Mike for this D. Kendriks and Hicks play the same position
If we sum it all up:
Za'Darius has been playing on one leg for we dont know how many games now
You got guys off the street name Shelly playing DB (he's held up well too!)
Little to no contribution from the draft
DH has been ineffective most of the year
Tomlinson has been hurt
Phillips has been a nice pick-up but isnt a 3 down guy and cant rush the passer
Kendricks is ill suited to the scheme and older
Hicks is just ok as a player
It's a wonder we're 9/2; its gotta be the outcome of a great offense + great situational football (as @MB points out)
This doesnt bode well for getting to a SB, but they can win a post-season game or two.
Next off-season has got to be about extending JJ and getting some better players for this scheme on the D side of the ball
I have no idea what KOC/KAM think about our DC
Agree with everything here except for the Hunter comment. He's having one of his best seasons. More to defense than sack totals guys.
Fingers crossed some guys come back this Sunday.
