I see him when healthy as a top 7-10 IDL, which puts him in the mix for a PB. He definitely should have been one last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gopackgonerd Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 (edited) We're 13th in points, which isn't terrible and probably really the only thing that matters outside of turnovers. We're also very good in the redzone. I'll concede to moving on from Pettine if we can't turnover the ball consistently over these last weeks of the season and continue to give up big plays. Individual players need to step up though, and Pettine needs to get more aggressive challenging WRs.

Sasquatch Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Jones was lobbing up some ducks today, of which a few were interceptions, but more often than not those ducks found a home. I was just scratching my head on some of his completions, like “WTF!?” And it wasn’t because Jone’s receivers were making unbelievable catches, outside of one. I’d like to chalk it to the field conditions, but NY covered our receivers with no problems today, for the most part. I’ll gladly take the win and move on, but this defense doesn’t instill much confidence. That 3rd down and 12 conversion by NY in the third quarter really chapped my a$$, among several others.

It is my opinion that Pettine should be fired. I added to that opinion by stating that our team thinks Rodgers is capable of more than he is, and because Rodgers isn’t as capable as people think he is, we need more out of our defensive coordinator to compensate for it. But yeah, I definitely tried turning my own thread about Pettine into a Rodgers thread. jenniferlawrencethumbsup.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cpdaly23 Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Serious question- we get eaten alive between the 20’s because we insist on playing passive, yet still give up a ton of explosive plays. If you are Pettine, why wouldn’t you turn the aggression up a few notches in the hopes of A) increasing turnovers and B) getting this defense excited (sometimes it’s like we are sleeping out there)?

Exactly. If he doesn't turn it on soon I'll get on the fire Pettine bandwagon. Bring in Jim Leanhard to replace him. No more "soft zone" or "bend but don't break". Unleash the dogs. Giving up on that 4th and 8 to an easy pitch and catch ughhh. Playing conservative trying to limit big plays isn't exactly working is it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have spent a lot of FA and draft capital into that side of the ball. Perhaps if we had someone who could actually cover a TE in the middle of the damn field that would help...

Joe Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Pillow soft zones ALWAYS give up big plays. We've seen it so many times in the NFL in general. I think our solution at this point is to send at least 5 guys. Run the odd front with 3 down linemen that we've seen, but just send Blake along with the other 4 guys in front of them up the middle to flush the QB. We have Haskins, Trubisky, Cousins, and Driskell as our last 4 QB's before the playoffs. With Haskins as MAYBE the only exception, none of those guys are mobile QB's IMHO.
