I have no doubt though that if we had sold out against the run they would have shredded us via the air. We were totally outclassed. I agree. If they had to pass, I doubt we could have stopped them. Kittle would just eat us alive and have tons of YAC against our secondary. The only positive is that it would play into our strengths with our pass rush Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBURGE Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 (edited) @Outpost31 Does anyone wanna chip in with me to order a life-size lego hair to mail to Pettine? The North sends their regards Edited January 20, 2020 by JBURGE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasquatch Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Never mind the X’s and O’s, if you can’t get off blocks and tackle, then you’re gonna get steam rolled. It’s that simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can have the greatest scheme on the planet, but if you can’t shed a ******* block and tackle, you’re gonna get trucked! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasquatch Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 And I’m not ******* defending Pettine - his scheme was weak - but our defense, for whatever reason, didn’t have the physicality or speed to put themselves into position to bring Mostert down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was a talented defense IMO. #2 DL and ILB were average to below, you could do a hell of a lot worse than Blake, though I get he's not a world beater. There won't be much changes to the sub package IMO, DBs and rushers will probably be the same in 2020 and I'm good with that yeah there was no other decent player at ILB outside of Blake, which is a pretty big problem. Number 2 through 5 DL is a bad spot. Lowry and Lancaster were downright pathetic for most of the year. Still, the team needs to rise above 2 spots being bad, one of which, ILB2 wasn't on the field very often at all. This is the healthiest team they have ever had. The roster construction was fine. I would even say the roster construction was an advantage. The cap was used wisely and in the right way to build around an aging star QB. 12 didn't show up like he needed to, and Pettine didn't show up at all. 8 passes. They only attempted 8 passes. What a horrible effort by the coaches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah they were good statistically but look who they played the first 8 games, probably the worst batch of QBs ever. With the exception of probably 3 games, the patriots schedule was incredibly weak.

St Vince Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Pettine is safe for at least one more year. These guys were drafted and brought in for his scheme. Firing him will mean possibly blowing up the roster because these guys may not fit the new DC system. I have a better idea! How about drafting better. Stop wasting 2nd round picks on Josh Jones, Josh Jackson and Quinton Rollins. 3rd round picks on Montgomery, M Adams and Burks. That's 6 misses in the first 3 rounds. When you continue to miss like that you have what we have now, mediocrity. Where the heck was Gary? Why did they not play the kid, seems like they're bringing him along too slowly. They should've taking the training wheels off a long time ago and let the kid learn by playing more. Gary turned into a wasted pick this year. No excuses for him next year. Get that shoulder fixed during the offseason and play like the 12 pick in the draft. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure Bukowski is sensationalizing it so FWIW: For the record I like Wade Phillips. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are people defending Pettine? It's one thing if it WORKED and we actually stopped the pass when they attempted to pass due to not selling out to stop the run, but IT DID NOT WORK! Garoppolo attempted 8 passes and completed 6 of them for 77 yards. That's 9.6 yards per attempt. Ok help me here. Give me 2 or 3 names that you would be happy with if we fired him. There are a lot of retreads right now available....or would a college coach be appealing to you. I'm reluctant to just fire someone without some idea of who you would target to replace him.
