242 Yards Rushing Given Up By the "#1" Rush Defense (1 Viewer)

I'm not even sure how that's possible. Kwon is back, Davenport is back. Does Jalen Hurts just own us? Or do we simply have no schematic answer for a college read-option offense?

We were absolutely terrible on 3rd down as well, and the run D was garbage from the jump, not just after the defense got tired.

Out-schemed and outplayed.

Entire team was brutally bad for most of the first 3 quarters, without a lucky turnover we go in scoreless at the half.

This team showed up asleep at the wheel and didnt show any kind of energy until the 4th quarter, aside from maybe Trautman MI and Davenport. Rest of these dudes were lookin for nap time.

There is a positive. The run defense has shown a small improvement compared to last years game where they gave up 246 on the ground to the eagles.

We haven't looked good against running Qbs for many years now.

Does anyone still want Allen? So many of you were raving about his Def and worrying that he could leave to take a head coaching job. I have always hated Dennis Allen and have wanted him out and gone for since he got here. His Def is too inconsistent and a big tease to our fan base. A few good games and then disaster strikes every damn year with his unit.

Need a fresh mind, I suppose. Defense is stale. It's probably why a lot of defenses changes scheme to stay ahead of the tape.

 

[HburgSaints]

Yeah, no one can say they were tired. It was bad from the get go. I cringe thinking about Thursday night against Josh Allen

 

[PXSaber]

We struggled against them last year
So nothing new

I do dislike Lattimores play more though

Pretty much our MO, no?

Chauncey is really important to our run defense. And obviously Allen didn't learn much from last years match-up.

 

[Saint Spud]

Agree with this.

I can make valid excuses for the offense. The defense (specifically the run D) was bad from the start.

I think it’s a scheme issue when we play running QBs. Allen schemes mostly contain so we do a lot of reading and reacting and it leads to us having issues when those teams just hand it off. Our run D is best when it’s coming downhill.

Defense being gassed didn’t help matters at all either.

Allen is more like Taysom in style of running..I think Hurts gives us so many issues cause he's quick. Allen is more of a trucker, still a threat, but I don't recall him being quick.

Lamar Jackson is more like Hurts, luckily we haven't had to play him, yet.

He gets a lot of cred as a "lockdown" corner but he simply is not. He is a good #1 if you have nobody else but he is behind the play way too much. Let's face it....today not one aspect of our team was even mediocre. They were simply some degree of terrible.
