When are fans & local media going to start calling out Rollis (and somewhat JG) for their atrocious schemes defensively?

[Buckybird]

He’s young & clearly in over his head particularly in pass defense. Too many easy throws, blown coverages or missed assignment football. It’s like 7 on 7 flag coverage repeatedly & simply maddening watching them trying to defend anyone’s passing game!!! Imo it’s all on Rollis.

Sure we lack more talent but I still believe we’ve got better coverage CBs in m2m man than zone. I also believe Garrett Williams needs to be starting on the outside, Max (finally) on the other side & Rabbit in the slot. And why is Mack Wilson repeatedly pulled out of LB on obvious passing down when not used on the edge.

Dumb football, poor coaching, poor scheme equals terrible defense & losses. I still believe while the offense has its own issues, defense is its number one issue!!!

Btw Tua looks as if he’s missed zero time throwing the rock against Rollis’ piss poor schemes. Ugh

Maybe when we have a legit starting quality defensive roster. I do not think anyone could make this roster look decent

I don’t think Rallis is a problem.
I think he’s fine with the little talent he’s been given. But I can see where it’s frustrating. The 3rd down defense is putrid.
The defense plays hard and up to and sometimes above their talent levels. That’s about all you can ask.

I was just thinking that anyone who can keep us in games with the talent, or lack there of, we have should get a raise. Our front gets no push. I say go get Crosby and get DRob in there and let the fun begin.

We shall see but too many easy throws, every game. I agree with your last statement, but still think whomever is making the decisions who the starters at the 3 CB spots are are screwing the pooch. I think Melton is really good (and their best) in m2m & so is Williams. Theres no reason #24 should be starting on the outside. That’s on the coaches

 

[cardsfanmd]

He’s young. You take the bad with the good. As an unconventional multi-sport coach for 20 years now, I did how Gannon has went about things. Staff and scheme. I see it as a building process and we’re just past the foundation stage.

I'm waiting and seeing. Personnel not helping. Keen to see what impact a legit pass rusher has on this team.

 

[slanidrac16]

We knew the defense was going to be overmatched going into this season.
We play not to give up chunk plays and hope to hold our opponents to a fg.

We scored 28 points today. If we can continue to do that we may win more games than we lose.

 

[cardsfanmd]

I’m def not saying Monti couldn’t have stocked the shelves better but losing our projected 3 best pass rushers surely doesn’t help

 

[DutchmanAZ]

For what we have on defense....they're doing a damn good job overall. Give up a ton of yardage, but manage to keep the score close.
