The Defense thread

[BrAinPaiNt]

Showed great promise early on but the offense of Cowboys could not give them anything.

 

[Lodeus]

Tired.

 

[Aven8]

76 is worth every damn penny! So is #55!

Church needs to be benched.

 

[AzorAhai]

Were hung out to dry. The Patriots probably punted more the 1st half than all season.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

They have to resign Hardy and Ro.

Defense did all it could. Ten million three and outs by our pathetic offense killed them.

 

[hornitosmonster]

played well but got zero help from the offense. Hardy is legit

 

[JohnsKey19]

DL will be a strength. Hardy is legit as advertised.Gregory will be back. Other DL will be able to emerge.

The S play needs to be better.

 

[Idgit]

Defense played great today. And the offense put them in awful situations. It was good to see.

 

[CowboyStar88]

Defense was very tired if we had something on offense it would've been a different game. The need to work on tackling and turnovers and really watching tape on pick plays man.

 

[fishspill]

I think the rookie Jones might have learned what it means to step up today. I think he finally looked like someone to have optimism about.

Gregory gets back for next game and if we are leaving Weeden at QB it will be up to the defense to win games.

Good news is Hardy knows how to win with defense

 

[texbumthelife]

The defense looked good, but the playcalling wasn't up to par. When you're getting picked almost every play, you've got to back your guys off. It's unfortunate how gassed the D was in the second half. Exciting to watch in that first half tho.

Really? I think he looked average to awful most of the game. Another CB that has absolutely no ball awareness, he's absolutely weak as well. I understand Gronk is tough, but being nearly decleated by a freakin' stiff arm? Dude is a child in a man's league. People here are talking about him being a FS?

Looks like a third to fourth round talent. Not impressed, keep him near the bottom of the roster with the bum Patmon.

 

[Stinger_Splash]

Like what I saw until they wore down. Also helps when NE gets away with picks all the damn time. NFL really needs to take it out of the game.

 

[CyberB0b]

Where was Sean Lee?

 

[kevm3]

Hardy and McClain need to be back.

 

[30yrheel]

This defense misses more tackles than any other team

 

[Picksix]

I understand that they were tired, but that's not excuse to keep missing tackles like they did.

 

[InDakWeTrust]

Pick plays. Leave them for college FB. Any recievers running into an unaware defender make it 10 yards and loss of down.

 

[ClamChowdah]

Every team in the NFL runs pick plays.
