We have none it looks like to me McDermott would rather have 8 ok guys to rotate then a few elite players. Then again we did draft Ed Oliver so hell I don’t no maybe he will be that guy one day 🤔 1 1

I think I saw White covering Everett today 3 times when he should've been glued to Woods or Kupp. I'm not a big fan of giving the CB position that kind of money, I would rather draft, develop and trade or franchise at that position. don't blame Tre for that. thats on Mcdermott and leslie
Lurker Posted September 28, 2020 Posted September 28, 2020 Zone defenses can look really bad against the Rams. It seemed like Tre was playing off the WRs the whole game, which is tough against guys like Kupp and Woods. Still, his run support was nothing to write home about either, so....

He didn’t generate much pass rush. Seemed to me that every time he made a good move, he got a sack. I don’t remember him creating pressure consistently
TheBrownBear Posted September 28, 2020 Posted September 28, 2020 We played well for a half and then its like we hit a wall and had zero in the tank. I'm guessing a conditioning issue with the truncated training camps? Our line applied zero pressure in the second half and Goff had forever to pick apart the secondary. The d-line appears to be a serious issue.
Giuseppe Tognarelli Posted September 28, 2020 Posted September 28, 2020 It almost seems like an unwritten rule in the NFL that if your offense starts playing well, the defense has to take a step back. You rarely have both, even if the talent level remains the same! It's a fascinating psychological phenomenon, and I think earlier posters hit it on the head when they suggest it's because the defense doesn't feel the same pressure to perform because they feel, whether consciously or not, that the offense can carry the load.

I think it's more about the need for the opponent's offense to play more aggressively when Facing a prodigious offense.

I really hope we can find an elite MLB soon for this defense. Edmunds isn't good enough at the moment and is a few years away from fully developing.
Mango Posted September 28, 2020 Posted September 28, 2020 1 hour ago, Do The Reich Thing said: White has been underperforming, so has Edmunds. Whatever “Tre” you’re taking about lol. As stated by many, the whole defense is subpar right now. Defenses around the NFL are getting torched. Idk what Is going, but I have faith in the skill, coaching and intelligence of this defense that they’ll figure it out in the next couple weeks. It is wild. I’ve been bouncing back and forth. The defense has not looked good, but it also feels like every QB in the league is throwing like 350, 70%, and 2-3TDs. That said, Edmunds to me seems to be doing a bit worse than Tre just because it’s more characteristic of him. He can be slow to diagnose and stuff the hole. When he has the right instinct and trusts it, his physiology is terrifying. But he’s hesitant at the moment. 1

A couple times today he actually looked like he avoided contact. Thoughts? I totally agree!. It has been reported that White was going to opt out befoer the season. If he continues to play like this, he really ought to consider it again. On a side note, I'm getting sick and tired of Edmunds missing 1 on 1 tackles, especially those that lead to huge gains. Let's temper this talk about his "All Pro" status now.

To me White is simply playing the concept of the defense which is to keep everything in front of him. EXACTLY....Frazier is the biggest reason why our defense is underperforming

To be honest, defenses around the league all look pretty bad. Maybe it’s the no preseason. Hoping we tighten up shortly NFL has set a record for most points through first 2 weeks and I would be shocked with all the high scores today if it didn't extend to the first 3 weeks. Seems like all the defenses are struggling. Think we will be fine by midseason. 2
Joe Ferguson Posted September 28, 2020 Posted September 28, 2020 Why do you have to play your butt off if you got the huge contract already?
Paulus Posted September 28, 2020 Posted September 28, 2020 Unpopular take here at TBD. THE RAMS ARE A GOOD TEAM WITH A GREAT OFFENSE, LED BY A GREAT OFFENSIVE COACH!!! 2 2
John from Riverside Posted September 28, 2020 Posted September 28, 2020 I think our D is dealing with several injuries (and that my include White) Edmunds didnt look right Milano wasn 100 percent Hyde has been hurt more then once this year and yes....Tre doesnt look like he is playing at an elite level right now

Haven’t seen the stats since, but I’m not seeing many of those called.
billsbackto81 Posted September 28, 2020 Posted September 28, 2020 When the D is on the field as long as these guys have been and you're not getting to the QB or causing TO's you're gonna get tired. Tre like every other elite DB works best when he only has to cover the route that's being run. Once the freelancing starts the advantage goes to the receiver. They have to get consistent pressure.
billsherd Posted September 28, 2020 Posted September 28, 2020 McD should take over the play calling duties again to bring them back on track.
Dr.Sack Posted September 28, 2020 Posted September 28, 2020 The lack of crowd noise might also have an affect. NE still is good at D, no doubt they are finding it easier listening in on the QBs calls at the line. Something to look out for.
Big C Posted September 28, 2020 Posted September 28, 2020 3 hours ago, Whkfc said: They are missing the inside pass rush of Jordan Phillips more than i think most realize. I don't necessarily think that's true. We seem to be getting good penetration. The run D has been a little more suspect. And McVay was finding good holes in our zone. We got some good pressure and Goff made some great throws too. Philips' moxie we are definitely missing.
