Still can't run the ball, D secondary gives up too many catches to 2nd and 3rd offense, no pass rush, Jake and Trevor look to be hurried and our 2nd O line is spotty. Saw several plays where Carman was beat easily and just watched his man finish a pressure.
Last week GB and now Atl backups have no problem marching down the field on our backups. And I don't buy the vanilla schemes either, GB and Atl were running vanilla schemes too.
The thing that worries me with the defense is if we have the physicality to replace the safeties we lost. Or maybe it's physicality and/or inexperience causing hesitation. Just the difference in stopping an outside run or a short pass for no gain or letting them pick up 5-7 yds. Probably impossible to tell until the games matter but stopping Chubb week 1 is not gonna be an easy task and would really like to see players excelling in this in the preseason.
