Nick Martin is so cool.
Man we have so many dudes on this team . If we’re not in the title game… I just don’t know .
We could use some depth. We are incredibly thin at LB.
Yeah, you know… I agree. I keep wondering why the defense last year was so porous. I think it boiled down to scheme (I’m not a fan of the 3-3-5), poor tackling at times, and the secondary being in the wrong places so often. I don’t doubt the talent on D, but those factors have to improve.
I just watched some highlights and yeah tackling was frustrating and sone blown coverage too .
Could just be first year DC adjustments. I think We will see 4-2 and different schemes this year .
It’s interesting that at time we had poor tackling when Martin was an absolute tackling machine. If we have better tackling, which I expect as our starting linebackers are good, perhaps Martin has fewer tackles??? I’m looking forward to the season.
