Vance Joseph as DC so far

[speedy]

Guess what how many years has it been making back up QB’s and TE’s look like all pro’s

I’m pretty sure we were the pilot study for the league going with more big fast and athletic TE’s you could stand up and have the create havoc between the box and deep 3rd. The problem has been here since wisenhunt at least. Super ridiculous

 

[speedy]

Just a random observation, but reddick looks lost at all times. He led the team with 12 tackles, but it still doesn’t look like the game has slowed down for him.

Not that he's great, but Reddick is the least of our problems right now. We're not pressuring the QB enough to offset our mess in the secondary. It'll help to get PP21 back, but we may be 1-5-1 by then. Maybe.

 

[Crimson Warrior]

That was embarrassing.

Kyle Freaking Allen goes into Cardinal lore as yet another back up QB to roast our ass.

That's the kind of performance that will cost Keim his job.

 

[GoldGloveschmidt]

He isn’t responsible for Patrick Peterson getting caught using PED’s or Alford breaking his leg. Or Swearinger playing like garbage. The least of our problems

Is he responsible for assigning Swearinger to chase around Greg Olsen all day?

 

[Timm Rosenbach]

Is he responsible for assigning Swearinger to chase around Greg Olsen all day?

Who else would he have used?

 

[GoldGloveschmidt]

Who else would he have used?

B. Baker? A CB? One of the rookie safeties? Literally anybody. We all know the definition of insanity. Not making any changes during the game is pure stupidity.

 

[Finito]

Not a savant, but what kind of adjustments are you going to make with a defense without depth and starting a bunch of players with little experience at DB.

No horses to play man, no experience was to not screw up zone, and no one to cover a TE, especially when you have a dynamic RB is also cover.

We are the 49ers from the last two years.

Pretty much. Our biggest problem is lack of talent. Can’t fix everything in one offseason.

 

[don7031]

Scariest stat of the week. The Cardinals defense gave up 413 total yards. That's an improvement over the 458.5 they averaged in the first two weeks.

Completely agree he is the least of the issue, but maybe it’s a microcosm of a bigger issue. The defense doesn’t seem to play with much heart. Almost like it’s 25 or so dudes showing up to do their job. Not much of an attitude or identity for this defense. I might be completely off base, but it doesn’t seem there is good/effective leadership, and the collective seem as though they could give a poo.

I agree. This team needs an energetic voice on defense, whether it's the DC or a few players. They are so lacking in that area. I questioned the hiring of VJ after I listened to a few of his interviews. If you don't have enough talent on that side of the ball (and we don't yet), you better be able to fire up the troops to play out of your a$$. Right now, we have neither vocal leadership nor on the field leadership.

 

[FB94]

Where is the Suggs leadership this team needs. Do not see that Raven “attitude” that he should be leading by. Not one NASTY football player on this defense

 

[b8rtm8nn]

You blitz in the face of the young QB and force him to make quick decisions with a guy in his face.

Agreed, and he did that a few times and Allen still got the ball out. I feel like the big plays were a result of VJ trying too hard and instead of giving up a 15 yard play, it became a 30 yard play (or more).

Bowles lost to a rookie in his first start, and he is a very aggressive DC. Still need the horses.

 

[PJ1]

The D is a disaster. VJ may not make adjustments but that is a weak group. How many would start on a decent team? Not many.

Where are the injuries ?

They put this D together

Only man missing is PP

Keim has failed at putting an O line and D lines

0-2-1 and 3 games back after 3

Body bag em

 

[Chris_Sanders]

It's going to be interesting when Peterson comes back. I am saving judgement til then

 

[WildBB]

It's going to be interesting when Peterson comes back. I am saving judgement til then

When we're 0-5-1. No thank you. Bye

It's going to be interesting when Peterson comes back. I am saving judgement til then

A luxury we may not have= season over.

 

[Chopper0080]

Oh wow so easy. Is that all.

Pretty much. Why do you think teams are doing it vs Kyler?

 

[slanidrac16]

Where’s the swearinger lovers at. So much attitude he brings give me a ******* break I’d cut him tonight

I'll belly up. I thought he was a good pick. I was wrong.

 

[slanidrac16]

VJ promised us our goal was to control 1st down and he has failed miserably on that promise. First play of the game we had 2 down linemen and everyone else was 3 yards off the line off scrimmage. Result was a 7 yard gain. And it wasn't the last time the Panthers saw that front on the same drive.

I expect to see 8 guys crowding the line , chipping te's and different guys falling into coverage. Do something rather than rope-a-dope.

 

[Hoodhero]

If you removed tackles:
CJ(2 Sacks, 2FF, 1FR, 2 Qb hit) & Reddick(2 PD, 1 TFL)

The rest of teams contributions was 1 Qb hit by Suggs. KM had same amount of solo tackles as Peter's & Suggs

 

[DevonCardsFan]

Zone D gotta go

 

[Harry]

Yeah the defense is bad, but look at who Joesph has to play. The question of who covers the tight end is valid. Baker is fast but not strong enough. Who has he shutdown? Swearinger has insufficient speed all while having to guard against break through runners. The cornerbacks have the same one dimensional talents. Hicks is fine against the run but weak against the pass. Reddick lacks the agility to cover consistently. Suggs can only run forward. Only Jones is exceptional. Peters is sound. Has anyone else on the D-line produced. Nobody could defend with this personnel. Slowest defense ever.

 

[Cheesebeef]

I never got why people were excited about this hire...

 

[SoCal Cardfan]

That was embarrassing.

That's the kind of performance that will cost Keim his job.

We can hope!
