Defense was getting beat at point of attack

[Praxit]

... I dont know how else to put this, or word to use. Seems like they couldn't get off the blocks or we're late.

Point of attack wasn't there. They also looked somewhat confused as to where to attack. Would that be coaching then?

Anyone else see this?

The defensive front 7 is totally overmatched. Osa has no help in the interior, the DE’s aren’t holding containment and the LB’s are running around looking lost.

 

[TequilaCowboy]

Yeah, didn’t matter if it was up the gut or pitch right or pitch left.. it was like they’ve never seen that before. Lost the LOS for sure. Almost like they had no assignments.

I was there. The Dline was putrid in person. No penetration whatsoever. Kamara looked like he was 23 again.

It’s well known that “old washed up players” tend to come alive again when they face the cowboys. Almost like the team is a fountain of youth. If you ever need a player rejuvenated, just play the cowboys. They’ll make them look brand new again.

I thought Lawrence was great at holding the edge, what happened to him? So many high priced players on this team and they still suck.

Not too hard to do against us

 

[NDGAEDE]

Yes. The entire front seven was routinely destroyed. Our LBs couldn't get off blocks, especially Clark, who seems relieved to be blocked out the play over and over again, and the CBs were also boxed out.

It's only the second game. But this was precisely our problem last year and the only notable thing we did to address the problem was sign Kendricks. We did next to nothing for the DL, and DT in particular. I'm very concerned that this team is going to get run over yet again. We need better DTs. These guys just aren't good enough.

 

[Risen Star]

I remember on a 3rd and 3 or 4 they had Kamara on a sweep with a pulling guard out in front of him and his lead blocker didn't have to block anyone until they were well past the 1st down marker.

That is just unacceptable.

Defensive line was destroyed all game.

Your right on. Execution was special to watch from an organized offence. They clearly clobbered us with the basics; blocking and out coaching us.

Bob said it best, the team is soft. No fight in them on defense at all.

X gadzillions.

Desperately need better DT's. Won't matter until we get them. Jerry, think.

Can't fight when you're getting beat up front.

Oh, and that top drafting team since 2014? Can you get them a memo to get them to draft some DT's? That's our biggest issue, by far.

 

[John813]

Were they out partying or something? Everyone seemed hung over out there

Him and Parsons getting upfield looking for sacks, while Alvin runs too the secondary before any contact.

The Saints RB looked like Bo Jackson from Tecmo Bowl we are in trouble next week.

Can you start a thread on “the best drafting team”?

Thx

Osa isn't helping either. Most overrated DT on these boards that I have ever seen. He gets 3 sacks a year and he's good? He undersized and overmatched. He is a part of the problem.

 

[Filaphill]

Don't worry ya'll, Kamara is 50 years old and washed up he won't do anything against this new dominate Mike Zimmer defense.
