If Hurtt is still the DC in 2024 I am going to lose my freakin’ mind.

At least it wasn’t 128.
We should break out the cigars.

"We just missed on a couple thing and weren't quite right with our fits."

Maybe that's why they have 3 players from the defense in the pro bowl. They are flag football ready.

I'm pretty sure half of those came from the Steelers game last weekend

Leave it to Pete's and Hurtt's defense to make average backs look like prime Earl Campbell.

I love how we chest bump to tackle.
I mean, if you time it right, you’ve got an ESPN highlight.
Yah…rather than going for the waist and below, I think our guys know the right way to do it.
Fkn elementary football.

Place the blame where it belongs. Pete's made 3 consecutive, uninspired internal hires at DC. He's supposed to be a defense guy. The defense has gotten worse and worse for four years, and for stretches of several of those years, the D has been historically bad.

We did play 10 games against playoff teams. I’m not excusing how bad they are.

If he’s still DC I won’t bother watching.

I should also say if a current position coach is bumped up to DC in place of Hurtt I am going to kill every single amphibian in whatever country amphibians are most prevalent. Because Pete made me do it.

But we were 'SO CLOSE' to it only being 57 missed. So Close...

Always glass half enoty. Without missing all those tackles Geno doesn’t get to set a record. A record!

Maybe they need to make 'Spoon the tackling coach.

All while Bobby lead the NFL in tackles. Other than him and Spoon, tackling was painfully bad on this team.

Missed tackling isn’t necessary Hurtt’s fault and at the same time, it’s his responsibility to ensure players know how to tackle.
Stay with me here….Im not saying he shouldn’t be replaced.
Most of our DBs sans TWO…tackle high. I don’t even know if you can call it tackling. They all want to Bam Bam Kam a guy instead of going for the legs and wrapping up.
Take Buddha Baker for instance. Great athlete (aren’t they all) but, he doesn’t have too many physical characteristics that jump out at me when compared to his peers. During our last game, I noticed him always going for the legs if the opportunity presented itself. I don’t know if he’s done that all season but, he made some impressive stops. One that stood out was when he tracked K9 on the edge.
I said we have two but, in reality…it’s likely one (Spoon). Spoon knows when to go low and he also knows when he can get a big hit in.
Brown has shown flashes but…he’s inconsistent. Tariq? For someone who’s game isn’t centered on physicality, it’s mind blowing that he thinks he can hit up high.
Love is decent at it. Quandre? He has the physical attributes and CAN make some solid stops but is usually too far out of the play.
Shit….could go on forever with this.
Missed tackles is certainly a DCs responsibility to fix. It’s so elementary that it blows my mind that professionals still don’t know how to do this.
I’m a Pee-Wee coach and there’s not a practice that goes by where all of the coaches aren’t beating the concept of “waist and below” into the guys heads.
How professionals, that are struggling in the missed tackle department, can’t fix this quickly….is just plain terrible.
Pete’s defenses rely heavily on DBs. Pretty straightforward concept. The Seahawks would rather cough up a consistent 4 yards per rush rather than get burnt on big plays.
When your DBs can’t tackle though…
This D requires LBs that can cover drags and curls —we can’t. Teams know this and expose it when they need that guaranteed 7 yards.
Starting to ramble..
TLDR: these guys need to learn to fkn tackle.
