Message: [QUOTE="giddyup, post: 4379563, member: 11505"] Agree the DB situation is a real weakness. They are playing way off the ball and still get torched downfield. The areas we need to address are contesting the WR off the line and disrupting timing, closing up that damn 10 yard buffer with second slot receiver when they flex wide, and the D Line getting faster pressure off the edge which will interfere with the quick out passing lanes. We need a lot more hands up. The interior line needs to work on bull rushing with leverage and/or slicing gaps with speed and strong clubbing/ripping action to collapse the pocket. They seem to do well against the run which is more gap plugging and moving laterally rather penetrating. There is work to be done. On a positive note, the tackling has improved 100%, the angles are better and LBs are no longer a weakness. They are a strength. [/QUOTE]
