Jeff Fisher doesn't understand the DE position

I have been saying this for over 15 years. Defensive ends are to CONTAIN as they collapse the pocket! Not blindly rush inside as the handoff or back runs right by. Or the back flairs out and the ball is floated over the DE. Once the tight end picks up the olb, and the DE takes himself out of the play, there are BIG gains. The Dolphins said pre game that they were looking to exploit this. I blame Fisher more than Cecil on this. They have been doing it long before Cecil. This is just simple simple little league stuff, force the play inside where you have help!

 

yes I do. you obviously don't even know what im talking about so just keep surfin bud

 

Did you see the huge gains on "sweep" plays? ALL day. No wonder we cant get off the field on 3rd downs defensively. It is always there. Always has been. If im an opposing coach, I would run wr screens all day and just have my best blocking te on that side. The D is solid in most areas, but have glaring soft areas. A good coach, or even an average one, will exploit these. It has happened over and over and no changes made. The play of the Defensive ends SHOULD move up the list of "our concerns". Wanna know whats frustrating? pointing out whats coming to my son here on the couch, and then watch us get gouged for a big gain. And then line up and do it exactly the same again with a different de inserted.

 

I'm sorry too. Honestly, 3/4 of the fanbase on this site has been fans of this team or even football for that matter for all of 10+ years, when the team came to Tennessee. Mostly unsavy cheerleaders that just want to hang Fish after every loss, but don't know WHY we are loosing. (I hate it when we say we). I have had 31 seasons end with disappointment.
You wanna talk about crazy frustration?
