Bigger Disappointment?

[Rat]

Darrell Taylor or Jordyn Brooks? Wags has to be laughing his ass off watching this defense. Cody Barton has been abysmal too, but my expectations for him were nowhere near as high as those other two.

 

[Spin Doctor]

Brooks, the guy is playing like he has a combo of oil and butter coating his hands.

 

[Scout]

Taylor is probably the more bigger disappointment because in this scheme you have more leeway to have 1v1 matchups. For whatever reason he isn't stacking or shedding or sealing the edge.

Have to stay in your gap and at home. That is the only way Brooks and Barton can clean up or else they too will look bad if Taylor isn't setting the edge.

Taylor. He was dancing around on the sidelines during pre season acting like he's a big man.

He's a liability thus far. He can't keep contain. Has no pass rush moves other that speed rush. Mafe should get more playing time

 

[Appyhawk]

Taylor played today? It's like he and Brooks are afraid to have any entries on the stat sheet.

The defense as a hole other than rookie CBs

Mafe is more active with this hands and is able to disengage blocks. At this point let the rookie play.

Hurtt

Collier is somehow better than Taylor (WTF)? Taylor is a 3rd down specialist at this point when we thought he was going to be Michael Bennett.

 

[uncle fester]

Barton has had more big-situation gaffs than Taylor or Brooks.

 

[Cyrus12]

All garbage imo...its a rebuild and hopefully these guys won't be part of it for long.

Pete.

It was supposed to be a stout defensive team, with a running game and a Game Manager at QB.

Geno is saving Pete's job right now.

I'd say Brooks just because he looked like a great pickup his rookie year, he was right behind Bobby in tackles and now it's like he's fallen off a cliff

I think Bobby made him look good in hindsight

 

[Welshers]

Is brooks not one of the top tacklers in the entire league lol? Why all the JB hate?

Waiting for Pete to say he would lose his job if not for Geno

Trying to figure this out too

Not sure where this narrative sprang from all of a sudden.

How many of those tackles are on players who caught the ball in his zone?

Interestingly, we lost our star, all-pro strong safety to injury. and yet, our DBs aren't the problem. It shows how bad our DL and LB have been playing. Hurtt needed to take a back seat at this point and let Desai take over, Hurtt had his opportunities, didn't work. Time to move on.

We could easily be 3-1 if would for Hurtt's defense.

 

[Scout]

I like the starting DB lineups and backup DBs. Solid group overall. That front seven needs work though and I expect a shake up.
