I just thought some of our guys would show up. You don't draft someone high with the expectation of them being busts. And none of them were rookies. They were all proven vets. When your second best DL is arguably a rookie DL with motor issue, that's not a recipe for success. Our DL is an issue outside of Kenny Clark.

Gopackgonerd Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 I feel like deferring gives you way more value which ever way you take it. I mean hell we only gave up 3 on the opening drive, if the offense scores there its a hell of a lot better. For momentum sake it could help, but when you really break it down its not going to change things much if their defense shuts us down anyways.

Even though we have a big baby QB who can't handle playing from behind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't, but again don't let that distract from the Rodgers gangrape currently going on in this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodjahs12 Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 What's really going to suck is that this team is still going to have these fatal flaws even if Love is good. Then what? Then will we be able to talk about these issues or are we going to find reasons to hate him personally as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm not talking about @Norm. yes he has upside, but he's probably not what you'd call "good" right now. DL was and still is the biggest weakness on this roster. our young OL was done NO favors by staff to get ZERO quality reps with the 1st time offense this offseason. But they at least have wayyy more depth. They'll get better as the season goes on, not sure the DL will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When DL2 isn't good right now, you're going to struggle. DL is by far the biggest need on the roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing in Jacksonville didn’t helped either… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. Unfortunately I dont know how to fix at this point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
