Greg Blache needs to be held accountable!!

Im sorry but our D line did jack fkcing shit today. No pressure, give the rook all day to find Calvin Johnson. D looked awful, and dont even get me started on our "stud" rook d-end/LB Orakpo. So far, he has done nothing at ALL.

Blech.

Ummm.. Orakpo had a sack.

Haynesworth had a sack, got carted off and then came back.

Go study Holmgren's playbook, Zorn.

defense played awful today. the problems I have with Blache is
1) the db's play way too soft
2) put Orakpo at de his natural position
3) apparently he does not know what the word blitz means.

Even when the defense did play "good" they still had no pressure on the qb. pressure creates turnovers - that is a fact.

No defense should let a team march 99 yards and get a td.

In my humble opinion blache should be let now. Make either grey or the lb coach the defensive coordinator

Would Holmgren come here tommorow and teach it to JZ? Could they bring him in as a special advisor? Snyder break out the check book for a minute. http://www.thewarpath.net/images/icons/icon10.gif even though that really wouldnt solve the front office problem. unles holmgrem wants to be pres. 1st order of business remove VC.

You guys don't think that Zorn and Holmgren speak? I'm sure he calls him every once in a while.

As for blaming Blache.

Our defense took horrible attack angles on on the runners today.

Carlos Rodgers has taken a step back in stead of forward in a contract year.

DHAll has looked bad. I cant put it any differently he has been continually abused all year.

Fred Smoot got burnt a few more times.

The LBs cant cover shit and today took poor attack lines on the runners. Read above I believe this was a team issue.

The Dline brought minamal pressure. The Lions oline looked stout all day and won in the trneches.

Laron Landry plays so far off the line of scrimmage I cant see him most of the defensive plays. I see this team with 3 good SS and not one FS ( should have fixed this by now but no one in the front office really cares and the DC thinks it "fine"

The highly touted Skins D let the crappy lions drive the ball 99 yds for a touchdown.

And then on the next drive they went 95 yards for a field goal

Well he must not talk to him enough.

Problems go beyond Greg Blache. Problems lie in talent level.There are some areas where talent can improve on D, every team has weaknesses. But talent is not the issue.

- Orakpo, Best defensive player in the 2009 draft.
- Haynesworth, arguably the best DT in football, certainly top 5.
- Griffin, aging but still solid
- Carter, solid rush end, average to slighty sub-par in run D
- backup DTs, average
- Fletcher, Pro Bowl caliber MLB
- Rocky, average
- Landry, very fast, very talented S. Lacks maturity so far.
- Horton, better than average SS
- Rogers, above average CB
- Smoot, good tackler, good in short-mid Zone coverage, liability in man
- Doughty, above average backup SS overall, sub-par in coverage
- Hall, playing below expectations.

So the D has a Pro Bowl or near PRo Bowl caliber player at every level and no glaring weaknesses. This is not a case of trying to make chicken salad with chicken shit.

We'll get Blache too. He will suffer for this outrage!

HOLD UP!!!! Jim Zorn let the crappy lions drive 99 remember he declined the penalty and they scored. Let's do the math if Zorn kicks the field goal at the 1 and the lions kick the field goal instead of scoring the score could have been 17-15 skins win!!!!
