Ever seen Kirkpatrick’s attempts at tackling ? The Saints game on Mark Ingram touchdown both Bates and Williams completely wiffed on the tackle it was embarrassing. We literally carried the tight end from Cleveland into the end zone last week. We can’t get to the quarterback when we need to. Baker Mayfiled threw the ball all over against us not just on the linebackers. Blown assignments in the secondary were a problem this season giving up huge passing td’s like in the Tampa game which was the corners and safeties not the linebackers. An we have 100 threads about how Vigil , Burfict and Dennard were hurt so that’s why the defense sucked and there back and they are not good.
It's hard to see them not setting the edge on TV, but the game I went to I could see it a lot. The guys all bunch up and allow cutbacks.
