Injuries are crippling the defense

This is getting crazy. Out of hand crazy!

Well, this just gives Lawrence a chance to rest in time for our deep playoff run. He was tired last year.

So true. That really should squash the thread, although I just extended it.

Any idea what is troubling Tre? Is it related to his ACL recovery?

And we were such a defensive powerhouse before they all went down. Forget the 44 points the Saints put on this defense when everyone was healthy.

This made me snicker.

Well New Orleans was a "hot team."

Amazing how many teams get hot against us

Did Marcus miss the games they played this year? You could argue their best game, Pitt, was without their “best” players

 

[Zekeats]

No they aren’t……not having any defensive line especially the interior is what cripples this defense

We did luck out however, that we faced the Browns with Watson and the Steelers with Fields.....both among the lowest rated passing Qbs at the time.

They were all there for the Saints and Ravens. Injuries aren’t the excuse for this run D. Losing Armstrong and Hankins in the offseason and not replacing them are.

Micah is not a run defender over the long haul of a game. And there’s no edges behind him.

Injury excuses are coming in hot!

Part of the problem is Micah being on the edge to begin with.

This poor defense which at times has carried this team (Esp in the Niner playoff games) has gotten a massive Lemon to show for their efforts.
Ya don't expect much from these guys when all we do is kick FG in the Red Zones and turn the ball over game after game!

The Unit was together for the saints game and made them look like the Joe Montana led Niners.

Are the injuries on the defense preventing the offense from sucking as bad as they do?

Zimmer should have stayed on the farm

I was hoping the rest would give him time to be traded. With h is agility test
