    Our entire defense sucks, made Philip Rivers look like a god last week and now he's sucking it up against the Falcons. Jerry Gray's style is old and outdated, and he clearly can't make any adjustments after halftime when the offense we're playing makes it's own adjustments to his "give up everything but the big play" scheme.

    Ugh. This run defense is terrible.. and I don't know why

    Casey, Klug, Martin are all solid (and young)
    Our LBs are solid.
    Wimbley can get to the QB
    Morgan is decent in run situations

    I just don't understand.

    I just re-watched the game and the interior DL got stood up most of the game and didn't get much push. The Titans LBs were not often filling gaps so were not making contact until the RB was 3-5 yards downfield.

    The safeties were in the next zip code so were no help.

    Louzable and Ballsack would have given us more of a rotation. Plus, Casey has been hurt since preseason. He is just getting back to 100 percent. However, I don't see the need for a Dline coach and a "rush specialist". Both need to go. Munch needs to bring Washburn back next year after Andy Reid gets fired, and his assistants have to find work.

    If we actually used our "safeties" in the run game, maybe they'd help. At the very least, Griffin could slow someone down as he gets trucked

    Seems to be a recurring theme with us.

    I like how Chris Clemons doesn't get a chance with the Titans.... then gets back-to-back 11 sack seasons in SEA. He'd b nice to have now.

    Seattle has 8 sacks on Aaron Rodgers and it's not even halftime :)

    Maybe we will see a broken record tonight.
