[stiletto]

Marinelli's cool new nick name for this unit...The Whiffers.

 

[dfense]

This list can't be right. Where is Jeff Heath? lol

 

[Avery]

Yes but

 

[JBS]

this is a disgusting stat to look at

 

[ClappingCarrot]

That vaunted group of linebackers I keep hearing about.

LVE has missed multiple games now and still leads to the team. Yikes.

A lot of them on 3rd down too I bet... LOL

by how much wheres the others team list? thats the only true barometer of how bad leading this is?

 

[darthseinfeld]

How many would Thompson have if he was starting full time

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

The entire defense looks out of wack. They’re constantly pressing and look disorientated.

 

[Cowboy-33]

That isn’t a shocker at all

It is so bad that they miss high fives to the extended hands of Garrett on the way back to the sidelines.

 

[RS12]

Lack of fundamentals, coaching, and accountability.

 

[TonyS]

Result of being constantly out of position to make a good tackle and using poor technique. Thanks, Rod & Richard!

 

[glimmerman]

Why not.

 

[MysteryIceGuro]

Maybe Jaylon Smith's "swipe" celebration, is actually a "whiff" celebration celebrating how they lead the league in missed tackles .

 

[foofighters]

Wasn't there a thread about this D wasn't that bad? LOL...

Seattle fans warned me this would happen with Kris Richard as DC.

Lack of fundamentals, coaching, and accountability.

Indeed, which is why the defensive coaching staff must be gutted. And I'm all for the new staff bringing in any new players they want....no players on defense are "must haves". Everyone is expendable. if someone wants D Law and is willing to offer us some picks, take them....re-tool this defense.

 

[Creeper]

What is the source of these stats? I'd like to see how they compare to other teams.

By the way, how many yards and points do you think resulted from the 37 missed tackles by the starting LBs? Also, it feels like these numbers are low. I think LVE missed several tackles per game.
