“That’s what I used to do!” said Lawrence Taylor.

Can’t say they aren’t trying. But really, a conditional 3rd round pick for Chase Young is a deal. And the funny part is, if he leave next season, we’d get a conditional 3rd round pick for losing him. Given curse on our 3rd round picks besides, this is still a freebie. Does it help, though? Can’t see how it would hurt, as Clelen Ferrell and Drake Jackson have hardly lit up the sky opposite Nick Bosa, but then again, Nick Bosa isn’t filling up the sack column either.

We ARE getting pressure, but we just don’t get home in time. An issue readily apparent in the Minnesota game, where Cousins threw 45 times with no sacks. Joe Burrow got sackeed 3 times, but it didn’t slow Cincy down at all as they marched up and down the field on our suddenly soft defense. Maybe Greenlaw’s working through injury is hindering the LB in general, but a team that usually flies towards the runners, and stops short passes for short gains is suddenly in hase mode and missing tackles.

And, please, moving Wilks to the field isn’t the cure-all they think it is. It is dumb to think where he watches from bears any meaning on the game prep, planning, and execution of the defense. I wish they had moved on from Wilks, given the timing of the bye week, but he’s gonna be with us one more week. Seeing that we have another young stud QB that moves pretty well and throws big, one has to think that we’d better dial up some defensive schemes that work.

All I see is our standard 4 man rush against a given team’s 5 guys. We aren’t winning at the point of attack. That much is certain, But there are NO adjustments, no stunts, and the blitzes we run have been negated at best, and exploited at thw worst possible time in that Minnesota game. It wasn’t the Immaculate Reception, but it was pretty fucking close. Without that TD, the game goes VERY differently.

Anyhow, congrats to Bruce Bochy and his 4th ring. Well done, sir. Tejas has a strong young team that could very well win a couple more. I wish our ownership group would spend some money. . .
