[RamBill]

Alec Ogletree joined Anthony Stalter and Myles Simmons to talk about Gregg Williams’ defense and gave his thoughts on covering Jason Witten.

Poorly

 

[stlramscar]

still cant get off blocks,and over persues. and i thought he was suppose to be such a playmaker under williams,well so far........not so much.

 

[Sum1]

I honestly wasn't that high on him as a prospect...but I don't pretend to be an expert in that area either. I thought he played fairly well as a rookie though...but he's looked pretty non-existent this year. Hoping he turns it on soon.

 

[Memento]

Give him time. This is a guy who had six forced fumbles and a pick six last year as a rookie. Brockers is another guy who has started off slowly. Give them time in this system, and we'll see them shine.

 

[yrba1]

He seems like a steady learner when it comes to learning a new playbook, no exceptions. Once he understands Williams's assignments, he should shine.

It's a New D with Williams here, and we're going into week 3, I think we should be a Little patient! I have a real good feeling about this week!

 

[MTRamsFan]

I think he will have the dreaded "Sophomore Slump." However, for the defense, it's the second year and second defensive scheme to learn. I hope things start to click in Williams' Defense for all involved!

 

[Bluesy]

Bust.

 

[TheDYVKX]

One thing I want to mention is that he's been an absolute monster rushing the passer. I've seen him blitz around 10 times when I was rewatching the games, and he's gotten pressure on nearly every single one. And his coverage is looking pretty solid, honestly. Obviously he has to work on run defense and getting off blocks and stuff like that though, because he's been dreadful there. But if he can fix that, he's going to have a great season. It's a learning process.

 

[blackbart]

Wow pretty rough audio there but he is saying all the right things, they must coach the talking points regularly.

I was under the impression this defense is the same base they have been playing since Fisher has been here. I know Williams has his own tweeks and calls but I would not think there is a huge learning curve for players that have been in the system.

Ogletree has not been a superstar the first couple of games but I have faith he will have his share of big plays throughout the year.

 

[Athos]

In the passing game? Maybe.

But he's gotten torched in the run game. Badly. I mean, straight up embarrassed. Hopefully he gets it together soon.

seems like everybody has been horrible in the running game. Tj nave had some good moments
