Defense Has 5 Sacks in Last 5 Games

Playing better teams exposes this team.

They literally went 3-2.

Facing 4 of the best offenses in the league, they gave up an average of 24 ppg.

Micah’s pressure rate is top of the league while being double teamed.

I don’t think we should be asking more from him.

seems like when Hankins went down everything on the line got disrupted and we are weak in the middle. Osa's play went down too...maybe with big hank back, they are allowed more freedom and don't have to cover up for Mazi who needs time to read his keys and is slow as hell penetrating off the ball

We are going to need these guys to step it up in the postseason with our lack of a running game on offense. We have had 5 sacks and 6 defensive turnovers over the last 5 games. 3 of those turnovers came in the Philly game so we only had 3 turnovers in the other 4 games.

Not good enough. We need to upgrade both DT spots.

It’s much harder to get sacks when you aren’t stopping the run and everyone has to commit to that first to avoid another Buffalo game. The run game brings up reasonable 3rd downs for quick passes and picks.

Would help if the refs would call holding every now and then.

Parsons worn down....just like I said he would be. He just can't sustain that pace he had @ the beginning of the season

Nice run down. The D played well enough to win in Miami (until the last drive), and picked off Goff twice. Pressure is there just not the sacks.

Again, the defense did not play well enough to win in Miami. Not only the last drive, but they allowed a 95 yard TD drive and other drives that due to Miami self inflicted mistakes resulted in only field goals. One or two 3 and outs for a whole game is not good.
