How did the Defense get so bad?
-
we are in a LB rebuild. These young guys need to step up their game.
Ya think?... There's an old saying... You don't quit your current job until you have one to replace it...

we looked exactly the same against the Bengals and it's scaring me
He picked us apart over the middle before the rush could get home where something called a LB is supposed to be - but we have zilch. And so that will be the season. Again.. because this isn't the first time we've had decent outside DB play but nada over the middle.
If a rookie with no preseason can do it.. veterans around the league will paraphrase the Nike ad from the 90's - "anything he can do I can do better"
Call it doom and gloom - or call it self-scouting. Accept reality on reality's terms.. shows where we need to improve to win.
It takes top units on both sides of the ball to actually win a title.. myths about O or D being the "only" side that matters rely more on luck and hyperbole.

Yeah, and it makes me wish we had Joe Schobert every week. I know we can't pay everyone, but middle linebacker seemed pretty important to me.

I get the sentiment... I wanted to keep Joe, too, just not at the final price paid. He's far from irreplaceable. LB simply was not a priority this off-season.

Yep, you absolutely nailed it. Left us with a big hole, but hopefully Mack can somewhat fill it.

I don't think Mack is that good honestly...

Yeah, me either really. But he honestly can't be worse than who's out right now. The combination of Mack and Kevin Johnson returning could actually make a difference. Johnson especially, as Tavier Thomas should NEVER be playing anything but special teams. He's literally that bad. I want to say he gave up a catch on 90% of his targets or something like that. Johnson will be a stratospheric upgrade, and Mack should help a little.

Mack was a 5th round pick rookie. Who knows what kind of jump he was about to make going into year 2.

...plus how many DCs in how many years?
It ain't rocket science... except to Gipper.
What a pussy answer. you want it to be that simple but it fucking just isn’t. Part of my belief is that this general manager ,who you like to suck the dick of , has dropped the ball in talent acquisition on that side of things so Lick his scrotum if you must while the rest of us try to come up with answers.

Holy crap, are you channeling he who’s name is no longer in this forum ?

I know that, my point is, he's not tearing up the league since he left here. He was notorious for making the tackle 10+ yards downfield. He was not worth the contract he was demanding.
He was better than anything we had...

isn't he out of football now, haven't heard his name since he left the Browns.
He starts for the Jaguars He had 8 tackles last week with 1 TFL

And the Jags are a lot tougher than anyone thought this year: Won last week when they were not expected to. Lost in the last minute to the Tits....who could very well be Super Bowl contenders. They are not to be overlooked. Thought they may Tank for Trevor...but, alas, no it seems. Minshew has played lights out.

First they need to heal. Hard for Phillips and Wilson to step up from the pinewood derby.?

Indeed Wilson and Phillips need to step up and hold on when they get healed:

If mack wilson makes a jump this year, it will be from 93rd all the way to 90th best LB who gets 300+ snaps. The mack wilson roller coaster.. is who he is.

Newton picked on.. Jamal Adams. He would not be "the solution" - and it's probably good we didn't blow our cap to sign him.
Speaking of changes to our defense, I'm fully on the "Start Porter Gustin" train.

It's definitely possible. I wouldn't expect it to happen, but you never know. Most 5th rounders don't end up starting in their second year, or at all really, so perhaps he's that rare diamond in the rough? The best things about Mack are his speed and his nose for the ball. When I went back through the Bengals game, one thing I noticed was our lack of speed in the middle of the field. Mack will certainly help with that.
