Not sure if it was a missed assignment or what but Hankins went inside on that play, the DE (Williams?) rushed straight up field and left the B and C gaps wide open. Not sure if Hankins was responsible for anything other than the a gap on that play but I think the bigger issue is the DE…along with guys at the second level being stationary. No one was stepping up to fill.
The biggest issues was the linebackers and safeties taking the day off. It was a game where the DL was getting pushed around a little and they actually had to do their job and be counted on. They completely failed.
that's a-mazi-ng
I think you’re spot on about the Lbs and DBs. I’m not sure the front four really got beat as much as they just completely took themselves out of plays though. The play you mentioned is a perfect example. DE and DT both moved out of the way to create maybe the biggest hole I’ve seen since my ex wife left.
They stunt a lot. So when the right play is called and its blocked well, there can be issues. But the linebackers and safeties were just jogging it. Just hanging around. It was really pathetic.
Tackles for loss don't lead to big contracts. Sacks lead to big contracts. That's all this defense is worried about
Which is exactly what a sensible DC would do. Run right at Micah when he's playing DE and you don't have to pass.
