We don’t have the personnel to stop the run

Mazi has his flaws...but tonight wasn't his fault. People aren't ready to have the discussion of why those outside runs killed us today......it sure as hell aint' because of our interior.

Bingo . The outside was open highway on many of their runs

This is true. Interior DL isn’t good enough, LBs play is too inconsistent, and Parsons doesn’t set the edge well against runs.

It’s too many dominos

This was a game where pass rush was inconsequential and was always going to be inconsequential. In these games Micah should be an off ball linebacker and we focus on D-Law and Armstrong setting the edge.

Guess who leads the NFL in yards per rush attempt - Miami. They're second in rushing yards per game.

They're going to be salivating watching today's game video.

I know I would be. I be telling the OL piece of cake, they are terrible upfront and we will run it down there throats, even with our 3rd team.

Yep and it’s been this way for some time too. Same outside runs.

If Dallas gets behind by two scores in a game just turn it off. They are a front running team built to play with a lead. This defense is horrible playing from behind because they simply can’t stop the run. Play with a lead and they are world beaters. Run the ball on Dallas and blitz their offense and this team has a zero chance of winning.

It’s a lb problem. Our best LB is being used as a DE and the rest just aren’t that good. We need a side to side line enforcer in the middle.

It’s a 4-2-5 hybrid.

In reality, a 3-3-5 b/c Michah is in pass rush almost every play.

C gaps are wide open.

Sure Hankins would have helped today, but the personnel in DQs scheme are too small to get off run blocks. It’s a flaw inherent to the profiles he’s looking for to pressure the QB and cover in the passing game. Furthermore, their tackling is atrocious. It seems like they are trying to make the big hit or strip the ball instead of wrapping up. Pursuit angles were also terrible.

Does it annoy other folks that other teams rally to the ball & are physical about knocking the ball carrier back and down while our guys jog over and barely engage while he twists for another 5-7 yards?

And if you thought Cook was quick ..... you ain't seen nothing yet.
