[quote=calia;1150657]BTW, let's not forget -- Cleveland is actually leading the league in rushing right now. And Dallas isn't far behind. We have played very good rushing teams with excellent Olines. Not every team will have that (although I do not discount that our run D has been dreadful).[/quote]

Cleveland and Dallas are the top two rushing teams in the league right now.

Well we will see. The Ravens are about the same as the Giants in rush ypa, at 3.7. The Giants had 5.7 ypa average against us. I imagine Baltimore will too. The only fix I see right now, until we stop the run, is to be run blitzing and giving the CB/FS less help...

Well Kerrigan mri was negative...so looks like we avoided a long term issue. Jay said he is day-to-day

Let's not forget that our defense helped them get to where they are today.

Agree 100%.

They've played 4 teams now (each), I'm sure we're not the only ones that gave them all those yards.

Of course not, but I'm not sure you can tout how good their running games are (after four games) without acknowledging that the Redskins surrendered almost 300 yards rushing to those two teams.

Re: The Defense Only Thread
 

I think we need to go back to the 4-3. The base 3-4 is shit. Still no true NT after 7 effing years. They actually thought Goldston would be that guy in their base. What a joke. It hasn't worked. And even though we're not in it all the time it's still our base defense and I saw us getting abused when we were in it.

I'd put Kerrigan, Murphy and Smith rotating at end. Put their hand in the dirt and have them moving upfield all the time. Draft some stud DT's and LB's. May have to dab into FA. But just do something. When we were in the 4-3 it was never this bad. Shanahan said it was better cause he didn't know where pressure was coming from. Yeah right dude.

Some guy named Crowell ran 15 times for 115 yards. He could have had 200 if they gave him the ball more. Inexusable.

id say sign him...he would be an upgrade from the play of Bruton. This is the kind of move that worked out for us last year with Blackmon.

Re: The Defense Only Thread
 

There is a reason he's on the street. But I would agree, probably better than Bruton. At least Wittner will hit someone.

Re: The Defense Only Thread
 

Maybe he's just looking for too much $$. If he wants to play he's gonna have to suck it up and take the minimum.

Re: The Defense Only Thread
 

Whitner can tackle, he had over 100 in 2014. The reason he is a free agent is his coverage skills.

Keim saying no go on Whitner
