It felt like a few unfortunately timed missed tackles led to drives being extended, where in past games there wasn't anyone there to miss a tackle.

 

I believe that is a huge step forward for the defense, and is a very positive sign for significant improvement over the next few weeks.

I thought I saw a few times yesterday where there wasn't anyone there to make a tackle.  So now we have two issues to solve.

Forget Edmunds...AJ Klein is killing this team...

 

He is so unathletic...gets to the right place and then misses tackles or gets abused in coverage. 

 

Get Darren Lee in ASAP.

He blitzed multiple times yesterday too -- and came nowhere near the QB.

Yes I saw that also. The RB stonewalled him several times. To the point I was expecting him to be pancaked a few times on those by the RB.

 

I have no idea if Lee is the answer...based on his multiple stops and being out of the NFL for a while I would say probably not, but we know Klein isn't so I don't see how Lee would do any worse and he might actually do better especially in coverage.

Every Blitz was picked up every time. Pats o line is incredible. When grousing about how depleted the pats are people miss this important fact.

Cam was sacked a couple times and under pressure multiple times. I disagree. I think the pass rush was decent.

Blitzes are vanilla and easy pickups (where is Siran Neal?  He is a hell of a Blitzer).

 

AJ Klein needs to never see the field he is a HUGE liability.  

 

Also can we Put Taron Johnson in a competition with Cam Lewis or Dane Jackson, he isn't playing with reckless abandon like he used to (his injury history likely the reason), but it is hurting his play.

 

Also who is tired of watching Murphy Rush up the field 10 yards and completely take himself out of a play?

Klein was completely ineffective blitzing. Its like he ran right at the offensive lineman and instead of making any kind of move he just stops running.

we need better LBs. Did anyone watch the Bears game? They have very good LBs. It makes a big difference

How bad must other LBs be if they can’t supplant Klein? While he’s no Eddie Robinson, he’s close.

I think Cam Lewis was put on IR.

Under McDermott this team has consistently been one of the worst tackling teams in the league..........obviously we haven't seen any improvement in that this year.

 

It hasn't stopped them from at times being a good defense but on some days it gets really ugly.

 

It might be that McDermott has to earn his stripes in the playoffs to get players to put their bodies on the line more.........a guy like Belichick gets a lot more investment from defensive players in this regard because I think they have known the pain will yield results.........or at least they knew it always did against the McDermott Bills until yesterday(which is why it was an important win regardless of how).

Nope that was Norman.  Lewis was Active Sunday

I'd prefer dodson.  I know what Lee is.  He's slower to diagnose plays than edmunds, softer than klein.  He's not going to be in position to make plays, and he's not a particularly good tackler.  He's fast though.. which helps i guess?

What constitutes "being out of the NFL for a while?"

 

Didn't he simply serve a 4 game suspension?

Thanks Missed that.  

 

Ok Then can we put Taron Johnson in an Open Competition with Dane already

 

Or Neal... I don't think he can be that much worse at coverage than Johnson.

Yeah, and he was terrible when he played.

Yeah Neal as well.  Brings a Talented Blitzer in the NB spot as well.

Yep That is the ONLY reason he wasnt on a team (until that suspension is complete) Which it is
