The blitz packages are waay to easy to diagnose and that's one of the reasons we continuously get carved up when sending the blitz..We don't use any simulated blitzes or overloads or anything that confuses protections instead we line up every defender ten yards off and send zero pressures which almost never works..
we have a very physical corner (josh Newton)Taylor made to face a receiving core like the ravens and he spends most of the game on the bench smh..These corners lose on any inside breaking route with regularly you'd think lou would get memo but he clearly doesn't..
A three-headed DC combination of Bill Belichick, Tom Landry, and Bud Carson couldn't help this group.
Biggest problem is the lack of return from recent defensive drafts.
2024 - Jenkins DT, Jackson DT, Newton CB - Jenkins looks promising but none of them will turn this D around this season
2023 - Murphy DE, Turner DB, Battle DB - Objectively no impact so far from these 3.
2022 - Hill DB, CTB - CB, Carter DE, Anderson S - Carter waived, Hill played better at CB this season than 2 bad years at S no hurt, CTB regressed significantly this season
2021 - Ossai DE, Sample DE, Shelvin DT - zero impact
13 players - 2 Rd 1 picks, 5 Rd 2 picks, 3 Rd 3 picks, 2 Rd 4 picks, 1 Rd 5 pick.
These guys should make up a good portion of the core of your defense and they are making very little impact this season. Hope for Jenkins, Hill (has to recover from an ACL now), CTB (maybe he can get back to his rookie season play) but pretty dismal outlook for this group as a whole.
Let Bates walk and now they have Bell (love him as a player but he is clearly WAY past his prime) and Stone (seems out of position literally every time I notice him).
BTW, just looked it up. Murphy and Ossai have a combined 7.5 sacks in 53 games played. Maybe they are pacing themselves.
