Our defense’s inability to stop the run is exacerbated by the fact that our QB generally starts out extremely slow when he’s not playing NFC East teams and other teams are able to jump out to an early lead and sit back and call running plays.
Notice how when we jump out in front of shytty divisional opponents and force them to throw, we’re not getting gashed on the ground.
So yeah, our defense in the middle could be stronger. It needs to be stronger. But it would also help astronomically if our half a billion dollar offense could stop going 3 and out and playing sloppy for entire halves of big games and leaving the defense on an island.
Delay of game penalties. Snapping the ball before your WR is set. Situational unawareness at the end of the game. Who’s fault is that? Zeke? OL? Lack of a DT?
You could argue some of the Holding calls that go against us are because Dak is holding the ball entirely too long and it puts our linemen in bad spots.
Brehs act like Dak is dealing with bad situations. Strong argument could be made that he is the cause or worsening said bad situations.
No argument from me on the PI calls. Brown gotta go. And Gregory is a guy I was saying we should resign all year long, but fukk him too.
