We’ve got to get Eric Murray off the field
Everybody pretty much did their job here in the back end except Murray. This defense looks so much worse because of him. The guy just doesn’t have a good read on coverage. It sucks that we are pressed to play him bc we are forced too due to Sorenson and Berry being hurt. FWIW Armani Watts played 16 defensive snaps in the Steelers game as opposed to 3 in LA. I think he’s coming up to speed. Only a matter of time until Murray is on the bench and we look better. |

No person here is going to convince me that Breeland Speaks was a pressing need and they couldn't have filled that spot with a somewhat productive vet on the cheap. |

Unfortunately the talent problem isn't going away. We MAYBE have one playmaker or above average talent at each level of the defense. Chris Jones, Anthony Hitchens, and MAYBE Kendall Fuller. They're going to have to get rid of Houston in the offseason and get Berry to agree to a pay cut to help sign some solid free agents. At least 3 of our first 4 draft picks need to be on defense, but they have to find a way to quit drafting complete shit on defense. The 2019 draft needs to be a home run. It's too early to call the 2018 draft a strikeout (continuing to use the baseball analogy), but at best it's a bunt single. This defense is still probably several years away from returning to respectability.
Also, Bob Sutton may get too much blame, but he's a dinosaur and the game has passed him by. We need a better coordinator before too long. |

Well, it's not rational but it is true.
People's expectations change all the time in reaction to changes in events. Everybody assumed Mahomes would have growing pains to go along with the defense' growing pains, so this year was essentially a lost year. With Mahomes coming out of the gates looking like a polished vet, the expectations change (again, whether that's rational or not) because suddenly only one unit needs time. Not saying it's RIGHT, just saying that's exactly what is going on. |

Question why could they pluck some dudes at the end of camp out of the cuts and plug and play them yet now somehow the defense is to complicated for new players?

Armani Watts, Tremon Smith, and to a certain extent DOD. |

Well if you thought they could fix this D in one offseason with what they had to work with I have to really question your intelligence.

Kendall Fuller even if Marcus Peters was still here, there would be some secondary issues. They basically replaced Peters with a guy who isn't as good and somehow thought they were suppose to get better back there? |

A dominant defense would look pretty good right now.
