I said defense has done okay considering personnel departures. Statistically have done well versus the pass in terms of completion percentage and yards/1st down. 11th in points. Nothing stellar but considering we got rid of alot of people I am not upset.I think Flus can handle a defense no doubt.
Defense needs some work but it is pretty hilarious that they’re 11th in points, haven’t given up a TD in the 2nd half, and you have some people comparing this unit to Mel tucker’s defense. They’ve been pretty decent overall. The sky isn’t falling
I don't see how anyone can say the defense hasn't been pretty great compared to expectations. We've even been missing our top corner for two games with Kyler Gordon not playing well. Has anyone complained about Kindle Vildor? Dude seems to have become a solid corner after being something of a disaster last year, so let's not run Kyler Gordon out of town just yet.
To be fair the corners didn't really get exposed in coverage this last game because the Giants didn't really even throw the ball. Largely because they didn't need to when they could tap dance untouched into the endzone lol
I think most are concerned about the run D, which is warranted. It's actually on pace to be worse than Tucker's historically bad year
They were also the #2 scoring offense that year. They're going to have to figure out the gap assignments. Alan Williams' defenses haven't been all that well against the run though. So I'm not sure if it can be taught. That was his main problem in Minny as DC
He has Flus to lean on though. Their front four hasn’t been playing well at all. They aren’t generating pressure and are getting killed in the run game. They play better in the 2nd half so whatever is going on, I think it’s correctable.
Joe Thomas and Nicholas Morrow are starting for us a WLB and SLB. These are career replacement/backup level players making close to the NFL minimum.
Bears fans are the dumbest in the nfl by far. They’re the propaganda arm of the bears organization. No organization out there ever says shit like “this stupid fucking bitch rookie QB if he’s worth anything will have to succeed with the worst offensive staff in the league”. No one does that. Good teams surround their young QBs with talent
You nailed it. The idea that teams expect a single player (even the QB) to carry an offense full of second tier players and backups is ridiculous.
You see Quinn most plays going for his strongest move of a hard, fast rush around the edge and often times getting pushed to the ground by the tackles who know he is more of a one trick pony. Quinn gets results when the middle of the defensive line collapses the pocket leaving the QB no where to step up and a sitting duck for Quinn's outside edge motion. We haven't been collapsing the pocket consistently and as a result, you can watch Quinn fly around about 1-2 yards behind the QB who is sitting comfortably in the pocket on most plays.
