[QUOTE="Boomergump, post: 77462, member: 639"] OK. I am back home and can write a little more. Look, Gotsis is not getting doubled every play, but when he does he is getting pushed off the planet. He plays too high to take on two people. Green is low enough and fires out hard enough that when the double comes (at least as often as Gotsis btw) he holds his ground. That is all you can ask IMHO. Beating a double team can happen with elite players, but it certainly isn't expected. Earn a draw and let the guys around you make the play. When I watch, Green is the only guy who looks like a real DT and even he is limited in the pass rush. Gotsis hasn't gotten worse. Don't panic. He was good last year and he is still good. He just isn't an all conference type of player at that position. We will probably slow down teams enough to win a lot of games this year, but we are going to have to win with a full team effort, meaning a healthy production and ball control from the offense. I like a lot of our players on defense, but experience tells me to be a lock down defense, you have to be really good and deep on the interior. We are not. What we have is speed and agility on the back end. A lot of the throws made against us in New Orleans got out of there quick, so it really didn't mean that much, in terms of our pass rush getting to the QB. However, I base my comments on the technique being used and the relative effectiveness of our players making gains against their players, regardless if they actually got there or not. Most plays where we sent 4, it wouldn't have mattered if the QB held the ball two more seconds. It was pretty much the same story last year until JA caught fire in the last few games. We are going to have to bring numbers and we will most likely reap the rewards and suffer the consequences of doing so for the rest of the year. I expect an up and down wild ride on defense. [/QUOTE]
