Worst d I have ever watched. Only we can make Jake locker look like Payton Manning. Wait till we play the donkeys... It is going to be brutal. I can seriously not think of one defensive player that has played well this year. None of them.
Need to blow up the defense and start over

I know we're banged up at LB, but Reyes and Liuget just haven't been getting any real pressure.
Is it poor play, or is there something about the scheme?
They still only gave up twenty points today. No turnovers though.

Liuget seems to be injured much more than has been let on. He has done nothing and I still see him with his shoulder wrapped every week. I suspect he may be trying to play through a partially torn rotator cuff (aka the dwight howard injury this past season). He has been a non factor for 3 games now. Reyes has been invisible as well. These two guys were supposed to carry the D.

They only gave 20 points because the Titans offense is crap. The way this team was built was the defense was going to be a our strength. The offense is holding up it's end of the bargain. We don't have the pieces in place to win shootout after shootout. The play by this defense puts every assumption we had upside down. Frankly, I don't even know how we build this team going forward, because a massive portion of our drafting is on this defense right now and it's horrible.

No, it is not the scheme. It is the players.
Maybe someday, someone will realize that "pressures" don't mean anything other than that the QB simply resets his feet and then completes the pass. I hope this educates some people about how mostly worthless that stat is.
The fact is that we have almost zero pass rush, we can't stop the run, we can't defend the pass and we can't force turnovers. We are truly bad at absolutely everything on defense. This is the same DC that coached the #9 ranked defense last year, which yielded 20 or less points 10 times. It definitely is not the DC. Telesco ruined this unit this offseason.
