You read the comments?Was stated the Lambs allowed 20 less points this year than last and scored 120 less points this year compared to last.Maybe the DC isnt the problem?

Time to retire.

Love to have him back but you're right it probably is time for him to retire.

difference is Chargers defenders stand right at the first down marker on 3rd and 30 and let the QB dump off to RB which is fine, but instead of running forward, containing and tackling, Chargers defenders wait till RB gets a few yards away from getting first down, before attempting to tackle them, which is why they sometimes give up the first down or other times we give them a 4th and 1 or 2 yard opportunity...... which they normally go for since we tackle so badly.......

Yep...like that 3rd and 20 or so when Gus went to the good old picket fence, and Mahomes burned us with a scramble...

The other issue with the picket fence.. It often leads to 4th and very short and depending on field position, this often leads to the other team going for it. Every coach knows the Chargers Defense sucks in those situations and is bad at getting off the field.


If we're running the fence on 3rd and 20 from the 10 yard line of the opposing defense, maybe there can be some merit to it. But why literally run it every time we are in 3rd and long no matter the field position? It should be situational.
.
We love to incentivize the opposing offenses to exploit our weaknesses.

One of the playoff teams (forget which) set their picket right at the first down line on one play and the receiver just caught it 5 yards short and YAC’d for the first down. Reminded me of Gus.

The picket fence isn’t a horrible idea in abstract on a 3rd and 20 ... just set the damn line 15 yards instead of 20.

It's the gift that keeps on giving...

Wow. Bengals take the suck to an entirely different level:

Maybe they love Tua or Herbert..... Why not? They are a horrible run franchise.

Clown show in Carolina. Apparently, the Panthers offer of $60M to Rhule wasn't enough to close without him calling the Giants and saying they could match it. They declined. He's with Carolina now and Carolina can't be feeling great about that news.

Giants hire the Pats WR/Special teams coach. Fail.
