PackGymRat Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 I think it is time to move past the Mike Pettine experiment here in GB. The guy is clearly not the answer for this defense. If the defense doesnt get turnovers, he gets smoked. And if they do get turnovers, he still gets smoked. Could you imagine what this Defense would like if he was gifted the TWO Smith's on pass rush? But with how glacial things move in GB, this is the start of the Dom Capers 2.0 era. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gopackgonerd Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 So when we hire a new DC and things don't get better automatically are we going to still be crying then? Will a new DC magically make Kevin king not get turned completely around by a TE and doesn't even notice he's been burned until 5 seconds later? Firing people won't solve everything. This DL and ILB core is trash besides Clark and Martinez. The new pieces have been great but the other pieces we already have have been inconsistent besides Alexander. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexander hasn't exactly been Deion these last four weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfman Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 It's time for Kevin King to sit down and give either Tony Brown or Sullivan a chance. King has been a liability for 4-6 weeks at a minimum. In spite of all of our moves on defense we still need another IDL stud and at LEAST one inside linebacker. I think we need 2 because there is no way I give Martinez a new deal. Imagine a defense where our inside linebackers could get depth in coverage and help take away the middle of the field. If Gary doesn't make a heck of a second year leap we need another EDGE rusher too. What would also help the defense is if our QB would check his ego and throw the ball when he's supposed to as per the play design! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boondoggle Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 (edited) We don't attack the middle of the field and we can't defend the middle of the field. Every other team knows it at this point. Recipe for bad football. Edited November 25, 2019 by Boondoggle 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacReady Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 It's not a lack of talent. We've been saying that for 8 years now. It wasn't the case for Dom, it isn't the case for Pettine. You don't have two really good pass rushers, two really talented corners (in spite of King's poor play, he is really very talented), two talented safeties, an above average ILB (Martinez still is above average) and Kenny Clark and be a bottom half defense. Pettine sucks. The only thing that sucks more than Pettine is that defensive coordinators tend to have their best year in their first and second year as the coordinator and then get worse over time. This is exactly what happened to Capers. So imagine next year, putting more resources into our defense, and still sucking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no reason the defense should be struggling this bad. Not one. There's a ton of talent, resources and they're healthy. A lot of teams are fielding pretty darn good defenses with nowhere near the talent we have. That's just the facts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacReady Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Derrrrr, so Matt, here's my Gameplan okay let's just not teach our guys how to stop the run. Let's just defend against the pass even if the QB has thrown for like 8 pass attempts and they keep butt ****ing us with the running game to like 17 yards per carry in the Championship game. Pettine is a ****ing moron, do you all see that now? @Arthur Penske. Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Packer_ESP Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Mostert has ran for 160 yards in 14 attempts in the first half, let's keep trotting out light boxes to confuse him 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
