Bucky Brooks: Defense Now Clicking Under Mike Nolan

[Hawkeye0202]

If I remember, some fans/posters weren't sold after the Eagles game. Let's what they do against the Steelers they said, well?

I think we can throw Nolan's pink slip away.....lol

Clicking?

That was like running on all cylinders?

Yikes.

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

I'm not sold now. One game does not change a season and one season does not prove greatness or success. I'm glad you are on board there Bucky, but then again, I remember you being on board with Marinelli and Richard.

Nothing against Brooks but I don't necessarily buy into any of the talking heads. Time is the ultimate judge and jury.

I actually agree with Risen. Maybe hell froze over? ....

But back on the subject, while the defense was better, as it was not historically trash, I hope they can continue to improve with the young guys filling in for the vets who were not cutting it.

JMHO

 

[Kingofholland]

Improvement yes, may have started the year undefeated if we got this kind of effort from the D. But far from a complete turn around.

 

[Jipper]

i thought pittsburgh was known for their defense and they were middle of the road offensively? We defintily played better so credit is certainly due....im glad they cut the poo that was poe

They played all Nickel in both games due to those offenses playing 3 and 4 WR sets.

The big test will be against the Vikings dynamic zone running scheme and RB.

Defending zone running has been their top problem for over 2 years now.

I think this opinion by Bucky Nobody might lead to another sad case of Premature Fan Elation.

Yep.. Although... LVE, Gregory, and Gallimore were recently added and we have been better since.

If LVE ever gets right he can get back on track to being a All Pro type of player.

 

[Cowfan75]

Sure...has nothing to do with the fact that Ben was off target on at least 2 plays that would have been TDs.

 

[John813]

Nothing says clicking defense than giving up 15 points in the 4th to lose the game

 

[RS12]

I would feel better if Belichick said this and he actually meant it.

You act like that doesn't happen every week with qbs. Also, how do you know the defense didnt cause him to be off, whether it was physical or mental.

they played pretty well 2nd half of the Washington game as well..so it slowly built from Historically bad to mediocre. We can work with Mediocre . only if we hadn't lost Dak and Dalton i believe we win the last 2 games with dak for sure and eagles game with Dalton..

too little too late as they say..

its been more then ONE game

they played pretty well 2nd half of the Washington game as well, eagle game was solid..so it slowly built from Historically bad to mediocre..

getting back few players has helped i mean still TOs by the offense has to stop because they would even be better,..

first off the Ref leant helping hand to that 4th QTR, you know it and we all saw it..the offense didnt score a point in the 4th and had an INT and other infractions , then add in Diggs injurys and there your answer to the 4th but having the lead for 56 mins against PB who was 7-0 and came in 14point faves in our house..

Id say it was a good showing ..

Did I say that it doesn't happen every week, kid? I'm saying it happened this week against us.

 

[ClappingCarrot]

Nolan also kind of dumbed it down as well. I wouldn't say they're "clicking" as much as they're making adjustments.

I think Nolan realized finally that "read and react" doesn't work with players that have been coached by Rod Marinelli for a half decade. We also had no variety in our coverages Sunday which made Romo lose his mind on the broadcast.

I guess we can say we have improved from a historically bad defense to just a bad defense. That's good enough to proclaim you have turned the corner around here. I do like Gallimore, though.

 

[Dre11]

and as I said "kid" you don't know the reason he was off, it could've been the defense why he was off.
