Did Greenbay expose our Run-D???

[1Ware1]

I am haveing flashbacks from the Saints game breakdown last year.Did Green Bay expose us for being able to run on us up the gut,like the quick passes Brees did last year?

It seems as we can be ran against when runningbacks not nescessarily run through hole but small 3 foot cracks.It's not like we are getting man handled by the offensive line,but runningbacks are popping out of small between people holes.

Then it seems as if there is nobody in the secondary to come fill the hole once they break clean.On both of the 35 plus yard runs(Duckett and Grant)both busted through the line and went the distance.It seems when watching,they went through a hole that wasn't there,I was thinkung they had to turn sideways to fit through the hole,thats how small it was.

I haven't seen anybody all year run around the end for a touchdown.Unlike last year I haven't seen our d-line getting owned either.

No, this is 2007 not a Mike Zimmer era D. Calm down and enjoy the special season.

two teams that are pass happy run on us

instead of saying the defense sucks why not think the coaches prepared for what the other team normally does well?

and at the end of the day, screw em, expose us all you want and we still win

 

[Hypnotoad]

Um, the streak continued.

No team has had a 100 yard rusher against us in 14 games.

I don't think GB did, but Detroit might have. If they didn't share carries, either Duckett or Jones would have gone well over 100 on us.

 

[Dcowboy84]

well except for that one long run for GB their running back would have only had like 35 yds rushing that game, so it definitely wasn't the Packers

and as far as the Lions game, the team has just about admitted the fact that they did not expect Detroit to ever run the ball, and kept waiting on them to pass the ball...so i don't think the rushing defense will be that bad from now on, at least i hope not

 

[smarta5150]

I think the only team that had an ok run game against us were the Giants for the 2nd time.

Jacobs had 95 yards or so... not sure what his average was however.

So what you are saying is that we schemed poorly? Bad excuse IMO...

Last couple year that statement would have resulted in about a million Parcells must go threads and the GROZ campaign would have been in full force.

I feel like exposing myself right now.

 

[VThokie7]

Considering Grant had a 60+ yard run and still didn't crack 100 yards rushing, I don't think Green Bay exposed anything. I just think the Lions came out with their best effort of the season with a game plan we didn't expect. Look what the Ravens did to the Patriots a little over a week ago.

 

[Gangsta Spanksta]

Did the Vikings expose our Run Defense? Come on, unless the boys fall apart this week, Detroit was an off day fueled by smack. We obviously pissed them off more than they pissed us off.

please, head off to an Iggles board until you're done.

 

[viman96]

we have been soft up the gut all year

 

[zeroburrito]

i never thought our run defense was good in the first place. teams pass more on us.

 

[Gangsta Spanksta]

geez, some people panic early. :

I think you meant to say RB there, Detroit rushed for over 150.

 

[Everlastingxxx]

Surprised nobody has noticed. The run play is the same one. I don’t know what it’s called but the tackle pulls to the left run play. Detroit ran it twice and both plays had big gains. Also, seemed like Detroit wanted to keep us in our base D-fense.

And GB is #23 in the NFL in rushing and that means absolutely nothing these days. I wish people would stop hiding behind rankings as if that excuses what's happening right now. We just got 27 put on us two weeks in a row. People need to stop acting like there's nothing wrong with our D. Im not saying it wont get fixed, but from the extremely soft zone coverage to the wide open spaces left in the middle of the field, this D is starting to annoy me. And we proved once again Sunday that we cant stop on 3rd down for ****.
