VABills Posted September 26, 2005 Posted September 26, 2005 I almost lost it when I saw Haggan and Crowell at the 2 OLB spots and Posey in the middle. At that point I knew we had lost.
UConn James Posted September 26, 2005 Posted September 26, 2005 Where is that columnist and the mouthbreathers here who, in training camp, said we have "possibly the deepest LB corps in the NFL." I called BS then, and I call BS now.
seadog Posted September 26, 2005 Posted September 26, 2005 I'm afraid without Spikes. Fletcher is not 100%. Where was Stamer? He was a demon in the preason. I'm wondering if Fletcher has become a little long in the tooth. He does'nt seem to have the speed he once did. The same can be said for Adams ans Vincent. It may be time for a youth injection on that defense.

But there was one play with Posey in the Middle and Crowell and Haggan on the outside that I just could not believe it.
Alaska Darin Posted September 26, 2005 Posted September 26, 2005 It doesn't matter how good your linebackers are when your DLine spends the entire day getting blown off the ball.

bdelma Posted September 26, 2005 Posted September 26, 2005 #53,55 and 96 are all weak linebackers. Need help there
34-78-83 Posted September 26, 2005 Posted September 26, 2005 Posey was one of few on the defense who actually played a pretty good game yesterday although nobody is without blame. I thought Crowell accounted for himself nicely as well. Most of the big ATL runs came as result of gap control discipline (lack of) issues as a team unit. I didn't see as much getting "blown off the ball" as I did the week before. They would have the hole closed and leave the back side open on all of Dunn's successful runs. I think that happened like 4 times, but they were very long runs each time.
