Not afraid of the defense. Not afraid of the (hurt) QB. Not afraid of the special teams. But at least they're fightin' hard.
Safe to say Schaub and the offense's suckiness was overshadowing the underachieving defense. The D doesn't look good enough at this point. Bad execution and bad scheming at this point by the D.
Really disappointed in the defensive effort, but our offense looks rejuvenated WITHOUT Foster, who I expected to get 30 plus carries in this game. Case has got feel comfortable after his first half performance. If the defense can get their act together, this is a winnable game.
Only two others... both in the Seattle game. Even the EXPANSION Houston Texans defense had more turnovers than this... this is the worst defense, in terms of takeaways/sacks, that the Texans have had in their history. I'd say they're being schemed against pretty damn well.
Agreed I think it because the team is playing looses since no one expects them to win. Finally some down the field passes. But damn c'mon D where's your pride keenum can't do this all himself!:grin:
Its too bad you can't bring in an undrafted rookie to rejuvenate the defense, and the defensive schemes. Wade's lack of ability to make adjustments once offenses adjust to him has been exposed on ALL of his previous coaching stints.
Case passing to Jean, Posey and Hopkins is amazing to me. These players were so under utilized, with the exception of Nuke, they were thought to be worthless. Jean has NEVER been targeted and he got 2 first downs in a couple seconds.
Kubiak: Very impressed (with Case). Handled himself well. Need to press forward. Like the way we're playing. Gave up some long ass drives. (Only got) One back and Greg (Jones) goes in. Gotta adjust with what I'm doing.
This secondary is just bad. Not as bad as the one 4 seasons ago, but almost as bad. Ed Reed just plain sucks now, signing him over Quin was just a ridiculously stupid ****ing idea.
Cush giving Keenum a pep talk while they were walking off the field at the end of the half: "You're way better than that other qb in street clothes!"
Its not just the secondary. How about the fact that nobody else on the line can create disruption once Watt is double teamed? How about the fact that our OLB's are NEUTRALIZED by whatever the offense decides to do. Also, inconsistent ILB play as well (by anybody not named Cushing). The only defensive players worth a damn are Watt/Cushing. The rest are all being overmatched, and being schemed against to perfection.
