Vader Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Promised a defensive blowout wouldn’t happen again. What up with that? What up with this? Needs to make a change here. Noticed a lot of light boxes. Pittman killing us.

jetstream23 Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 The Colts have 17 rush attempts and are averaging about 8 yards per carry. Ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerfish Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 I've never seen wider line splits for a dline before. There is a two yard gap between each player and the lbs are 8 yards back. Indy literally does not have to make a block at all for there to be a big hole on every play. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is very SF but it is not the scheme to play with these offensive sets. It’s like he’s playing a light box in order to protect the secondary… 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TE? again we can find some one later. maybe i would use a 2nd on TE. we have given up over 500 yds 2 times out of 8 games. 400yds twice. 300 yds 3 times....we cant win like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be_a_Jet Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 I think we want to attribute something to someone cuz we’re frustrated but if anything should be taken from this up and down year so far is that we can’t make any assessments until end of year where we will have a larger sample size. Saleh said it beginning of year, we’re going to have our ups and downs... At the end of the year we’ll evaluate the downs and see if it warrants a change. I think Ulbrich has done okay overall but yea he has to get better at stopping the run cuz that’s been almost consistently bad. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nixhead Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Salad's defensives were normally sieves except for the 1 Super Bowl season and anybody from the Falcons can't rightly know what they are doing - in other words Salad needs a new D Coordinator with a different scheme. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangers9 Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Look we're not expecting miracles with a two win team from last season but these kinds of defensive performances are so bad it makes the team non competitive. And if they can't fix schemes and coach the players better than this changes have to be made. There's no excuse for these kinds of defensive performances. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rather have AVT and Elijah Moore than 2 better players on our defense. I rather take the next Kyle Pitts next year than a CB. Once we have the offense figured out for the first time in our lifetime, we can start really focusing on the defense. Thanks to JD and Lafleur it looks like we are getting there. Luckily we have like 10 draft picks next year so we will likely be able to address both sides. But let's not act as if the offense is all figured out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The LBers were exposed because the D-line wasn’t occupying any blocks, plus they didn’t really change or make any adjustments until the game was well out of hand. Bad game plan and bad execution. Ashtyn Davis was abysmal last night. Watch the long runs that Indy had and you’ll see him constantly out of position and taking horrific angles. Plus, he’s never a factor in the passing game. Does he even have a PBU this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The defense has been bad all season. It was just early on, there was so much focus on Zack and the O, nobody talked about it. Now that the O looks functional, the heat is on this unit.

Not only are the DL getting blown off the ball but the back 7 seems woefully out of position. The jets may not have pass rushers, but that DL shouldn’t be that sucky in run defense on first downs. Is it effort, is it scheme, is it poor coaching? Every team has gashed the jets on the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying we have great talent or anything but the stuff I'm seeing (ball carrier not touched until way down the field) is completely unacceptable for an NFL team. As far as effort or scheme, that's part of coaching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
