The game film vs the Saints does not lie. Micah Parsons even said the problem was not Coach Zimmer or the playcalling. It was the players. Watch...
Totally inexcusable to slack and not play full speed. This defense played the exact way in the playoff blowout loss to the Packers this past January.
What needs to be done to the players to fix this?
There is nothing to be done.
Our DTs are bad. Thats it. Our ends are not good too.
LBs cant do their job in this scheme if the DTs dont occupy the blockers.
Overshown is fast but he is not good in shedding blocks. And he wouldnt have to be if our DTs were better.
The problems were apparent in the offseason. We did nothing against it. This was to be expected. And even if i think our FO is unqualified i do think they were aware of that but chose to ignore the problem.
