Too embarassed to look at the box score yet, but I think 1 sack in 2 games now (Hawk). yeah freeman was mobile, but there were very few hurries/pressures and it seemed like NOBODY up front was winning any one-on-ones.

The pressure was better than the boxscore indicates. Josh Freeman just got away from everything GB threw at him. There was no outside contain. The Packers thought he wouldn't use his legs and he did. Against an Eli Manning, that type of gameplan would work because he can't move, but agaisnt a mobile QB, it backfires.

Wait, we've actually had a pass rush this season? I wasn't aware.

If we had one, i must have been going to the fridge for a snack and missed it.
We haven't had a decent pass rush in years. (Well, we did in the preseason.....we know what that was worth)

1.5 years, you mean?

It left with KGB, Jenkins and Williams in 2008. Now it's just Kampman still not being that great a 3-4 OLB. I think that we are one stand-out OLB away from a great defense right now.

i agree...nice post

Thank you Matt.
If we could have put some REAL pressure on that young kid, i bet we could have beat them. But he sat back (like all the other teams we faced) all day and picked us apart. Give AR that kind of protection and we'd be unstoppable.

I'm not saavy enough to effectively disect a defense, but it seemed as though Cullen and Jolly were BEASTS early in the season and unless they accidently fell into the camera, you wouldn't even notice them lately.

The few times we did pressure Freeman, it seemed like it was from a corner blitz or kampman on the outside and he'd just step up into the pocket and either pass or run straight ahead.

Again, forgive my ignorance, but my simplistic sophomoric layman's assessment is that our pass rush sucks donkey balls right now

We had an awesome pass rush in the preseason!

This seems to be the motto for this year's team.

"We had an incredible (insert aspect/phase of football team here) in the preseason"
