as ANY TEAM that you used a few games to create narrative you will find a hole to talk about,.
MAN PLEASE

Now this thread has nothing to do with hyping up the Rams.......
Its more sad that these guys ran over us and a year later one is out of the league and the other is hobbled and just got cut by the Rams.
And how did they fix this last offseason? They didn't. Damn near brought the same exact front 7 back with the addition of Quinn who doesn't help with the run at all.
Just want to say thank goodness we finally are attempting to address this. Now go get us a edge rusher and a linebacker in the draft and I'll be satisfied with that unit.
Still not sure the problems fixed. We got new dts but that doesnt mean it's going to better.
And how do you know this? They at least were proactive. They got rid of the defensive staff. Brought in new DTs. Supposedly a new scheme. Even if it doesn't work, you did at least address the problems at hand. Which was a god awful DT position and even worse coaching staff whose scheme was terrible. It's a step. A step this team never took in a long time.

We dont know if itll be better just because theres different people there.
So over a year later and that rotten coaching staff is gone. That game is the least of my concerns and any reasons as to why it was that way. They added to beefy players that can actually play DT, and will have a better scheme.
Addition by subtraction on the coaching staff by a huge margin.

we were top 10 in defense and better then that against the run.. get past it , if any fan wants to go find the worst 2 games a team has and use that for a narrative we didnt try to fix that are ALL as the OP said, its a bunch of B S !!!!!MAN PLEASE
Most of that is right, except Poe and McCoy played together last year too and were abhorrent against the run.
And it could be they were in a bad situation, much like our defense was the past 12 years. Not using that to pump them up. But I trust MM to have seen something he likes. It wasn't because they were desperate to sign DT's. All we can do is wait and see. By bet is they will be better here than there.

not saying it hasn't been a weakness but TOs has been the real issue, thats why BJ is gone 16mil bottom of the league in picks and fumble recoveries..no team plays perfectly for 16 always an outlier ..you want to make an argument and go find those bad games and act as if it were the norm when the ranking reflect differently..
To me you can't be a top 10 defense when you only have 9 interception on the season....only 6 teams had less interception then you did. A top 10 defense generates turnovers.we were top 10 in defense and better then that against the run.. get past it , if any fan wants to go find the worst 2 games a team has and use that for a narrative we didnt try to fix that are ALL as the OP said, its a bunch of B S !!!!!

I dont make the rankings they were overall ranked 10th and 5th in run defense..dont kill the messenger its a FACT.. we lost many close games when our d played very well and Dak and CO couldn't have completed a pass if they were the only two player son the field.To me you can't be a top 10 defense when you only have 9 interception on the season....only 6 teams had less interception then you did.

They were ranked 10 in points. That’s not a reflection of how good a defense is. This is the thing about the NFL. Your offense is going to struggle. You know what helps it? Special teams and defense with field position. Except ours.I dont make the rankings they were overall ranked 10th and 5th in run defense..dont kill the messenger its a FACT.. we lost many close games when our d played very well and Dak and CO couldn't have completed a pass if they were the only two player son the field.
yes that high ranked O fell short in close low scoring games our D held up, see the Philly game..how long was that a one score game?
your ridiculous narrative was bout the run game they were in fact 5th! give it up , the team lost last years holes in offense, defense, ST and coaching..they did trey and shore up the DL etc it wasn't great but the way you talk about ti we were bottom 10..get passed it you are WRONG..They were ranked 10 in points. That’s not a reflection of how good a defense is.
You are using rankings in points to determine how good they were. When fact is a lot of their stats got inflated based on them destroying bad competition. And then when a decent team popped up you guys are lost wondering “well we were ranked so high....”.your ridiculous narrative was bout the run game they were in fact 5th! give it up , the team lost last years holes in offense, defense, ST and coaching..they did trey and shore up the DL etc it wasn't great but the way you talk about ti we were bottom 10..get passed it you are WRONG..
lastly yes a defense job is to limit points..huh..that doesnt matter..wow you just lost some validity points.,.you got the 19 brah? you feeling ok?
