Same old weakness of no run stuffers on the defensive line will be overlooked again. The only way we shut the run down is Budda shooting gaps. It's great when it works, but when you count on it to stop the run you get gashed. It's inevitable.

This is the deepest draft in recent memory for IDL. Don't eff it up Monti.

Yeah we really need a pass rusher and a strong DT in the first 2 rounds

Yeah we also need to make sure these guys not only run stuff but make the tackle. The number of times we hit Hubbard in the backfield or at the LOS and he got 5 yards after contact was amazing today. He's good but we were terrible.

God that run that set up the gamewinner you can see Budda and Zaven are the contain on the left side, Zaven tried to do his job but Budda just comes flying up I'm going to be a hero and runs right into the OL which allows them to essentially double Zaven and the gaping hole for Hubbard. Actually lucky he didn't score on that play

It was like Budda just guessed. Also, I am far from sure that is what Zaven was supposed to do. Looked more like an all out pass rush like it was third and 10 instead of a first and 10 when you know they are going to run the ball.
