A minimum of 3 times Galette was tackled by his neck and Jersey and no one threw a flag. Same for Cam Jordan. I'm not worried one little bit about our dline.

Our linebackers however were nonexistent in that game. Which is probably about half their fault and half Rob Ryan's. As for our corner backs, we have 1. We need to fix that because out current roster is fricked at that position. And my guess is in Cleveland our safeties won't play 30ish yards off the LoS every single play

This. They were trying to minimize the effect of Julio, Roddy, Harry, and Devin. Let them catch the ball, then tackle for no YAC. Problem is they didn't tackle much at all.

They were existent, but not in a good way. I have no idea why they would ever play a 2 deep cover 2. They do not have the LBs to play that. Lofton and Hawthorne did fine against the run. But don't put them in a scheme that won't fit.

Prob was nowhere near his guy all afternoon. They need to play man with Byrd single high and KV the roamer.

this has been an ongoing issue for years; however, Ryan's system is designed around the Safeties manning many of the LB duties. Still, we need a serious upgrade at the position

yup. I have never been impressed with PattyRob, and yesterday didn't help. He is way too inconsistent.

this is an unfair criticism. Ryan gameplanned this with a reason, and I am guessing it was due to his believing in his DL along with knowing Matty Lice loves to chuck the ball downfield to Julio and the gang. Did it work? No. But I'm not going to question is game planning when he has a proven track record with this team along with us not knowing a damn thing that goes on in their meetings
