Pirate Angel Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Defensive schemes dont change as much as offense...Dareus' job doesnt change from scheme to scheme and he is useless this season, he is not explosive anymore, i watched several plays where he does not fire off the ball, he belly bumps with the oline. I dont care who the coach is playing alongside Kyle Williams who plays 100% ought to be plenty of motivation. Nick Barnett while never great was a solid contributer, now he may be the worst LB on the field. Again base coverage is base coverage no matter the scheme and he is being beat badly. Not to mention our second line of defense is empty on running plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dareus looked more explosive today; when he loses the weight he gained and regains fitness, I think he'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stealth Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 agreed. once the regular season starts, he'll be fit and in playing shape. hahaha can't wait. In all seriousness though. It's wanny and the players. Wanny's scheme is far too conservative and relies too much on linebackers to create plays. The problem being the linebackers well they suck. We're getting horrible safety play and we're very thin at cornerback. As dissappointng as the dline is, you have to run some stunts, zone blitz you have to create pressure. Kyle Williams and Marcell Dareus should not be used to clog up lanes. They should be used to shoot gaps and create negative plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Best Player Available Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 (edited) Barnett is done or should move inside. Dareus looked more explosive today; when he loses the weight he gained and regains fitness, I think he'll be fine. Any idea why he has turned into a fat pig? Could it simply be he realizes he doesn't have to cut lawns in the summer anymore? Family matters shouldn't play into be out of shape the whole year, and pre season. He seems to be an extremely undisciplined player. Edited November 11, 2012 by Best Player Available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob in STL Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 We wanted to run George Edwards out on a rail remeber? Wanny has better players with more experience and he comes up with a defense that is much worse. Give this defense to Perry Fewell and it would be better. The game has past Wanny. He does not adjust.

I have some faith he'll recover given what happened to him earlier this season. I hope the team has a good support system that can help him recover mentally and light a fire under his ass physically.

Peter Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 FYI - according to PFF's rating before this game, Barnett is one of our better defenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
