JetsTitans63 Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 They looked sensational when we were 8-3 coming off 2 big wins New England and Tennessee. I hate to bring this up because I know many are fans but............... David Harris returns and the D all of a sudden sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vudu Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Our Linebackers and safeties suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are forgetting we gave up over 400 yards passing to Cassell in NE- that was not a good defensive performance. They are less aggressive than they should be and they just are not as good as some people seem to think IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetsTitans63 Posted December 23, 2008 Author Share Posted December 23, 2008 I hate to throw this in but what about a switch next year back to the 4-3 and add a DE who can deliver a pass rush. I never liked the 3-4 personally speaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleDown Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Teams have found our weaknesses, and they are exploiting them. We have done a terrible job of adjusting, and we continue to run the same failing strategies. We have trouble stopping underneath routes and runs to the outside. We run too much zone and give too much cushion to the opposing receivers. Offenses are spreading us out and we don't have a solution. Our nickel and dime DB's are terrible. Jenkins looks tired out there and teams are taking him out with double teams. We are not disguising our blitzes and we basically telegraph our plays to the opposing offense. Players are missing tackles more often than earlier this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTM Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 They sucked all year. The offense stopped running long drive after long drive and it just became more apparent and exacerbated the situation. They weren't good in the NE game btw, in fact quite the opposite.

I never liked the 3-4 personally speaking. The best defenses in the league right now are running a 3-4, with a decent DC we could be among them.

DoubleDown Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 In a nutshell and more easily said our D sucks...... Correct, and in my mind it's much more the fault of the scheme and use of players than the players themselves. We have a ton of talent on the defensive side of the ball, but we are not utilizing it. I would love to see more man to man coverage, more disguising of blitzes, and better use of safeties and LB's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The offense stopped running long drive after long drive and it just became more apparent and exacerbated the situation. They weren't good in the NE game btw, in fact quite the opposite. They have broken down to a far greater extent as of late. At least in the first half of the season, we were decent at forcing 3 and outs and keeping the opposing offense to a limited time of possession. Our long lasting drives on offense played a part in that and kept the defense fresh. We were also much better at pressuring the QB in the first half of the season.

JetsTitans63 Posted December 23, 2008 Author Share Posted December 23, 2008 Id like to see a legitimate pass rush like other NFL teams who consistently put pressure on opposing teams QBs down after down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
