Run defense is broken

Hankins being out was huge. They should sign Suh.

Mazi Smith? I mean people will say don't give up on him but he was obliterated out there today. You'd expect improvement over the course of the season and it's just not there.
 
If it was only our run defense that didn't show up, we might have had a chance.
 
It's been an issue. Center LBs are hurt. Turnovers mask it.
 
The scheme is wack. You cant “load” the box with 7 guys when 5 are essentially down linemen and the only guy in the middle at the second level is a 220 lb hybrid S/LB. Its too easy to attack the middle of that alignment.
 
Ridiculous thread.

This defense hasn't been built to stop the run. It's designed to play with a lead and stop the pass.

If we were interested in stopping the run, we wouldn't be carry one LB and one scrap heap LB. And having our other starting "LB" as a 215 LB safety.

We also wouldn't keep Parsons on the edge.

DC didn't adjust today. That's concerning.
