Our piss poor run defense

That´s because Sam isn´t clogging the middle. When he does, the running will stop.

Are we that dependent on one player to stop the run? I thought we were supposed to attack the run with numbers. I'm not saying we're billsfanone yet, but I hope we're sucking because it's preseason and everyone is taking it easy; not because Sam Adams alone is taking it easy.

Could some of the D problems be blamed on Gray? Just seems like he's gotten a free pass this offseason...

 

Personally I like Gray and want to see him have success (I don't root *against* my boys, unlike some others), just wondering if some of our D woes may be blamed on the loss of LeBeau? Thoughts?

I was worried about that as well. The year before last, our offense put up some nice numbers. It was the D that lost games.

No worries. Pat and Sam are dogging it. the D line hasn't run a stunt all pre-season. No game planning going on here. These guys get beat up enough during the season. They are in battle every play. I have no problem with them chillin' during the pre-season. It gives the DBs a chance to make some tackles on RBs.

We should fire him now. If we go 1-3 in preseason we'll be out of the playoff race before the season even starts. Thank God the patsies have a couple losses too. At least we're staying close to them. Fire Gray before it is too late.

The run defense sucked last year in pre-season, if anyone remembers, and even if you don't, I'm sure you'll remember those calling for Sam's head because he looked like he didn't care (and he didn't). Run defense won't be a problem come the real season, and I'm sure you'd be pissed if Sam or Pat got injured trying to stop the Lions' amazing running attack.

Ya - thanks for posting this - it's true. We were all freakin' out last preseason too - it was the same thing. They'll be fine on opening day (gulp... I hope).

 

Besides - the Lions had 64 yards passing in the first half.

I was LMAO at all the people wanting to dump Adams just based on pre-season. Like I said, these guys KNOW what they can do, are older, and don't want to get injured. It's not a concern until it PROVES to be a concern.

Our piss poor run defense stinks again

 

Wha?!?!?!

 

The Lions backs averaged 2.9yrds a carry and Detroit had a grand total of 75 rushing yards in 60 minutes of football; and that total includes the QB's!

They went 3-12 on 3rddown and had the ball for 22 whole minutes!

And you're kvetching about defending the groundgame?!?!?!

 

Wow, you make Nervous Guy look like Josey Wales......
