Why are so many runners getting to our ILBers in the first place? Are we keeping our ILBers closer to the LOS because of how weak our Dline is. Seems either the RB blows through the line and than is on top of our backers, or bounces outside and is on our LBers.

I think that's pretty much how it works for every team. That's why ILB/MLB always get so many tackles. Problems are if too many blockers are getting to your ILB or if your ILBs are simply not getting into good position to make tackles.

Wouldn't that be exciting football? Of course there is always some stupid ref who would throw the flag and try to neuter the LBer for playing hard.

Week 1 AJ Hawk plays 48 of 70 Defensive plays......Seattle 207 yds rushing.
avrg. - 5.6yds per rush

Week 2 AJ Hawk plays 71 of 71 Defensive plays.....NY Jets 142yds rushing.
avrg. - 3.83 yds per rush

coincidence 🤔

I think not!!!! [grin1]

I think when Dom said he went to the base 3-4 early in the 2nd quarter, it meant the same 11 stayed on the field.

They quit with all the substitutions.

Where and how the OLB's lined up didn't change the fact that they had their base 3-4 players in the game.

He's the ONE LB who could be depended on every play, every game, if needed since 2010.
(he sat 2 games in 2011 but could have played)(15-1 season).

As far as bad ass LBr's, that's what Mathews and Peppers are on the field for, especially playing a 3-4.

The 3-4, if working correctly is designed for the OLB's to make most of the impact plays.

Someone has to be the Defensive QB, that was Jones's job this year until the inevitable happened and once again AJ Hawk is called upon to pick up the slack.

This game is won and lost in the trenches. (Wade, my 50th reference?)

Bring heat upon the QB, keep the heat off your QB. You do that in the draft, you do that in free agency. You live that. Other positions and priorities can absorb the priorities.

Ted tries to do it in the draft. Fair enough. Multiple busts. He could and should have tried to compensate for those busts by going to free agency.

No.

Offensive line draft- multiple injuries. Free agency pick-ups?

No.

Geezer Saturday and -show me as a Packer, doesn't seem to give a shit Peppers notwithstanding- don't think it would have been hard at all for Ted to look at what the Seahawks and 49ers were doing the last couple of years and at least consider keeping some pace by emulating them some...

No.

I'm getting a little tired of getting my ass totally beat by the premier teams in this conference. It's my ass, as I have one share of stock, lol

beast (3-Apr) : Using Patterson as RB and RB/WR tweener... so I think they also signed Patterson as a 3rd down RB, not just a kick returner as articles are

beast (3-Apr) : I think PFT missed the real Steelers/Patterson connection, Steelers new OC Arthur Smith has been Patterson's head coach the last 3 years
