What we need

I am sick and damn tired of hearing how great Daniels and Wynn are at stopping the run. Most of the rushing yardage opponents have gained this year have come around the ends. So despite the yearly pass these two bozos get because they’re such good run defenders appears to be debatable. Guess what folks, they’re supposed to get to the quarterback, too. And so far this season, neither of them have been able to do it ONCE. The front office is equally to blame because it’s as if they simply write off any notion of the starting d-ends being able to apply pressure to the quarterback. AnonEmouse had it dead on – other teams with deficiencies in this area recognize how pivotal this is to the defense, and they do something to rectify it. Our team doesn’t even TRY to find a pass rushing threat.

Let me say it once again, in case you missed it: Philip Daniels and Renaldo Wynn have ZERO sacks through five games this year.

Maybe it’s just me, but that’s pretty pathetic. And sooner or later, it’s going start costing us more games.
