It’s going to take better players to fix it. We’ve struggled stopping the run with several different DC’s. They’ll be other games this season where teams will abuse us on the ground. It could happen on Sunday facing Jackson and Henry. They have to be licking their chops watching the film of us getting destroyed last week.

No it will take players playing better and some of these players catching up to Mike Zimmer scheme and taking the coaching going into game 3 they will adapt to each other player scheme and coach they do not need current players to get better the better players playing better...tackle better, better position and reaction time.., some of it was step off, that can be fixed. Sorry, i believe that..

i saw 4 holds reason NO got more time on those big plays and saw the 2 safetys got split one reched for slap at the ball just tad early and 11 was HELLD on that , saw player in right position but reached for tackle and should have went through player.

Early season gelling ..we wont be elite D but his WILL naturally get better, brand new D scheme and many payers just got here Lawson, Phillips, Jospeh, Kendricks, and Overshown with rookies Liafgu and Carson all new to this..

plus with O and Diggs off ACls., missing Bland.no true PS snaps i mean come on..

And I'm gonna keep bringing this up look Kubiak knows Mike Zimmer and he got the best of them he knew the playbook he saw the formations he was able to let car know ahead of time what they should run and what was about to happen and we were off a step but those things I mentioned above are not gonna be true every game you're not going against Kubiak you're not going against the same officiating crew you're not gonna have those players every time get held or just be off one step or one hand swipe away that's why they call it a game of inches I'm not saying this is gonna be gangbusters I'm saying calm down on acting like we need to re overhaul everything Mike Zimmer just took over this offseason and a lot of these fighters just got here let's give it some time for him to see this on film and figure this out..

I mean you can tell these players what to do over and over. If they aren't skilled enough to implement the advice, won't matter. That's how life works in general

It sounds like confidence in his scheme.........his experience deserves the benefit of the doubt, for now IMO. Let's see where they are after a few more games.


As long as they continue to do what we’re asking them to do, they’ll have success.”

I agree 100% .......some coaches adjust their scheme to fit player's strengths and some expect players to learn their scheme regardless. I hope/pray Zimm isn't the latter.

He does truly believe he can get it improved completely fixed not overnight not in one game but it's a brand new defense for these players with a lot of new faces that didn't play in preseason so yeah I believe he can take a look at the film and get his scheme and players and his rotations and get across during film sessions on what they did wrong and at least improve it week to week it may never be elite but yes I believe he believes he can improve this defense from what happened Sunday....

Hard to believe we are only 2 games into the season....and people are already to move on from Zimmer....Thought this could possibly happen...but not after 2 games. The fact Zimmer had no answers to stop the bleeding Sunday..should be a tremendous red flag. Another game like that....wouldn't shock me if Al Harris takes over....and Zimmer gets the Mike Nolan treatment

I predict that the Ravens will have no difficulty running all over this defense

Seriously I think it had more to do with the saints offense than zimmer run defense. Zimmer will be fine with the defense.
