Rushmen are turning into Hushmen !

DeMarcus Lawrence has been a complete non-factor. His only contribution was a roughing the passer call.

$21M a year

This isn't even remotely accurate. He got some good pressures today.

I expect more once you get paid. He's stolen money for 2 weeks.

You get paid like Khalil Mack. Produce like him.

Khalil Mack has 5 tackles and no sacks on the season.

You were saying?

You guys wants stats stats stats. That's not all it's about. As a unit, the defensive line underperformed, but that's largely because Lawrence is working besides castoffs and journeymen who really shouldn't be starting. He's busting his tail and was close to quite a few sacks today (pressures).

Tbh, I think with as fast as NFL passing games are getting, pass rush is simply harder to generate.

Good point.

Many more 3-5 step drops and I just might give credit to the Giants and Skins offensive lines.

Another good win. The offense lead the way, again. I am not happy at all about the Pass rush. Almost non existent. Crawford is just a waste. He can’t play DE at all. Collins? Haven’t seen much from him. How bad can Hill and Taco be? Quinn is going to be a huge upgrade and I am hoping Gregory can resurface.

Thoughts?

That sack must have been luck, right? Jeez! Yeah, the D-line wasn't as active as I would like to see it, but they got close to getting home several times. Keenum gets rid of the ball quickly so he's not easy to sack. They finally seemed to get a better handle on their protection.

With Robert Quinn coming back, you'll see Crawford bumped more inside as a situational 3T, so I'm withholding judgment until I see what we look like in a couple of weeks.

LOL. Highlight the ONLY player that got a sack for us and completely ignore the guy that we just paid 21m a year to? For real. Crawford isn't great but if we're comparing performances Crawford was worth 4 times what D-Law showed today.

He was the one who talked about breaking the sack record. Not me.
The talk of stats came from him.

WIN

Marinelli has been playing this style of defense since 2013.

Its the old Bend But Dont Break defense we all love to see.

And the one that gets you eliminated from the tournament.

So they aren't worth 21 million against the cap , is what you're saying ?

 

[Gaede]

It’s interesting to see where people put their loyalties. Smith is getting ripped for a bad game but apparently LVE was awesome.

In reality, I think our LB play has been “ehhh” all year.

Yeah, its so obvious too. LVE and Smith both have not looked good to my untrained eye

 

[glimmerman]

Yes they are. But for the reasons I stated earlier, they will improve. No need to give up yet.

I don’t know if the skins are a bad offense or not yet. They hung 17 in the first half against the egirls. Our tackling was better this week but no pressure. Started playing off towards the end of game. I don’t like garbage yards and points. You have your Defense play till the clock runs out..

 

[Cap12]

WIN

Yeah, I think some folks seemed to forget that we did that very thing this week and last.

 

[TwoDeep3]

Patience. Tank is getting back into shape. Quinn will be here against Miami.

Plus, it's difficult to have a great deal of urgency with a 17 point lead with 5 minutes left.

Patience.

 

[Cap12]

I think Smith and LVE looked better today against the run. LVE had one particularly nice run fit on AD and stuffed him for a no gain. Smith (by my count) had double digit tackles. Not too shabby.

 

[Keithfansince5]

If you search tank on twitter you'll see a lot of fans tweeting him about how bad he's been. When you get paid, the pressure turns up.

As it should. Want to be paid like the best you need to play like the best which he isn't

 

[Little Jr]

Statically it wasn't bad, but the pass rush has pretty much been nonexistent the past 2 games. They haven't played horrible, but it's far from good considering the offenses we have faced
