Rush Defense

[PressureD41]

Just need to be able to stop or contain the other teams best O chess piece ala the Patsy the last 7 years. Wade has shown that

The run defense looked awful as AP gashed us to the tune of 21 yards on 11 carries. (1.9 avg)
Amiright??
Rams have given up a total of 136 rushing yards in last 2 games while out scoring the opponent 84-17.
Rush defense?

Part of that is because we been blowing people out I don’t see to many more blow outs on the schedule.

Part of why the games are such blowouts IS the defense....

Seems like we give up 1 or 2 big runs and then tighten up significantly.

Eagles and Saints will be our team's biggest tests, no doubt. If we go 1-1 against those two teams, I like our chances in the playoffs.

Hence my comment that is has been better lately.. though last game I didn't think it looked good...

Teams will have their ups and downs. They've looked much improved since the second half vs Zeke. Besides, we'll just keep getting ahead of opponents so they can't run

or we can keep our D off the field having 7-9 minutes drives ,, with gurley goff and co

Ironically enough, I'm watching an NFL show and they just mentioned that our offense is first in scoring and our defense is 9th in scoring. Consider that we've been up big the last few games (which usually results in teams passing a lot/ defenses playing off). We don't give up points and I think our defense will keep getting better.

 

[I like Rams]

I always expect to give away a big run or two in the first quarter, that's kind of been or MO. But since Dallas we've shut down every runner we've been given (minus the few runs in the first quarter).
