I agree with you. The other thing (and I know I'll get some hate for this) Jordan and Gallette get held so bad, it's not even funny.

This!

I've been saying for quite some time that the LBer position needed to be addressed. It is important and people forget how good Vilma and Fujita were.

ill go ahead and disagree with this thread. We blitz enough to prevent the step-up in the middle.

Our guys just arent beating their man. We're back to only getting a sack when the opposing OLine whiffs on a blocking assignment and we come clean.

The missed tackles are the #1 issue. We make contact with the running backs at the line of scrimmage lots of times but can't bring them down. Murray looked like Jim Brown on Sunday. It is also why teams keep taking eight yard catches for 20-30 yards. Piss poor tackling. This is more of a player effort problem than a coaching issue.

ETA: We are definitely not getting any push up the middle of the pocket either. That's why Matt Ryan and Tony Romo looked like HOFers against us.

It was unbelievably rare that we played a 3-4 last year. We've had this debate several times last year.

We ran a 3-3-5 or even a 3-2-6 last year in some passing situations where Hicks cam inside with Junior and Cam on the outside. It was very effective



Agree with all of this...

He's the biggest reason IMO



Disagree.

The biggest reason is our #2 DB and lack of quality safety play in the passing game.

Hicks stepping his play up may help those two areas, but the biggest weakness of our defense is the side opposite of Lewis.

I does feel like we're flushing the QB out a lot and then he's getting away. That was basically THE story of the Falcons game.

Exactly. The pressure that we're creating isn't doing shite if the QB gets away, only to hit an open receiver down the field.

speaking of myths...

Hicks has never been a good DT but he was great last year as a 3-4 DE.


He really played DT for us last year in the 4-2-5 actually. If he was a good 3-4 DE, he should excel at generating some kind of pressure up the middle on passing downs.



everyone check this out

Yeah and this happened several times during the Dallas game as well, so much so that the announcers were commenting on how mobile Romo looked compared to week one. Cam and Gallette are getting in there, but no one is cleaning it up.
