I think bo has been terrible,
But those guys have sucked so bad.
Big Marlon was hammering them yesterday afternoon on the radio.
Tackling is beyond terrible.
You can forget who ever had a star next to their name during recruiting. There's few players on that defense

They don't care. They are athletic beasts. It boils down to a culture problem in the locker room. There is a disconnect.

Stevens needs to move to LB. He is too big and slow at safety.

They look slow because they are playing timid and unsure due to not trusting or knowing the defensive calls. Something is going on during the week at practices. You have players not knowing where to line up or what coverage is called.

They aren’t blowing coverages because they suck.

I agree about the coverages, but what about the tackling. There's high school teams tackle better than that

They are real good at dancing after routine plays and ranting about fans on Twitter. So they have that going for them.

Nah. A lot of them will play in the nfl.

Scheme sucks & prob more importantly, lack of an offseason. Defense is down everywhere.

They look that way cuz they have no idea what they are doing. No one trusts anyone else to do their jobs. They are thinking and not playing.

All of those issues are DC related.

Reminds me of the Texas players at the end of the Mack Brown era. They had all the 4/5 star players but felt entitled because of their prior success so they didn’t work as hard. And we all then saw how they got destroyed.

When you’re caught out of position, you tend to have to reach tackle with your arms rather than body up & wrap

Arm tackles will produce more missed tackles

I just want to see some energy out of whoever is on the field. Wether that be 1st 2nd 3rd string, they just looked uninterested and zero hustle. I’d rather go down with kids flying around the field not even knowing what’s going on than watching these guys get gashed every drive and not feel any type away about it.
