Our defensive tackles will continue to be our achilles heel

This.

The DTs never shed blocks and get into the backfield. How many TFLs did we have today?

The linebackers looked worse because of olinemen getting to the second level.

It's been this way forever. Jerry does not comprehend the DT position.

We need both, dt’s help the interior, but they might struggle more with outside runs.

A strong interior helps immensely w/ outside runs.

Unfortunately, Jerry sees things as some of the others do. He simply does not comprehend how the DT play affects all areas of the D. More than any other area.

It's hard to chuck in the towel on a rookie but man, there seems to have been zero improvement in Mazi over this season.

Kind of deflating that we finally use a top asset on a DT and may have made a mistake.

It's pretty bad when a 190LB RB pushes your whole defense for 11 yards before being stopped.
Does James Cook Squat 700LBS?

 

[hsfolk]

could've had Bryan Bresee over Mazi

#33 got blocked for 20 yds down the field we need bigger LB.

I didn't care for him as a prospect.

 

[Praxit]

We should have paid Wagner.

 

[Praxit]

Don't they teach these players to get off those blocks?

 

[Cowboysheelsreds058]

We should have paid Wagner.

You will hear some say he was never coming to Dallas, but did we ever offer him? I know they were all in on the wolf because he was cheaper.

 

[reddyuta]

teams are attacking our Edges,its been this way as long as we had DQ.

That takes talent.

What legitimate playoff team is in the NFC besides the 49ers?

The Niners will run roughshod through the conference.

One has to be delusional to think otherwise.

McClay & company totally whiffed on him.

I'm not reading all of this thread but anyone who thinks the DTs is the problem doesn't know what they're talking about.

They got killed on the edges, just like they did against the Rams way back when.

The problem is that this team hasn't had a good LBer since Sean Lee.

I disagree with you. LVE is much better than the safties playing linebacker.And on top of that, was not LVE calling the plays on defense? I knew this was gonna come back and bite them.

LVE wouldn't made a difference last night becasue he's no faster in diagnosing than the rest of them.

He was there against Arizona, and the problems were exactly the same.

Funny thing how everybody was so big on how bad LVE was. He was better than what they have now. He seemed to be better on getting the defense lined up than what they have now. Once again, they can't stop the run. Same old story.But he was better than what they have now. The point is they should have picked up another linebacker.
