Is it me, or has Griffin been silent so far this year? I love what he did last year and thought he was robbed of a pro bowl bid, but it seems like I'm not hearing his name as much. Same with Daniels and Wynn. I know our ends are so-so but we're not getting a good push up the middle to put pressure on the QB. They've been solid on stopping the run (the 2 Bell runs were missed tackles by linebackers and db's) but maybe Ron Warner could get some more reps to rush the passer.

yeah i haven't heard much from C. Griff either. Btw, on that first td run it was Daniels who missed a tackle, then Holdman, then Bell was free. I think Ron Warner was cut.

warner's gone... i only saw holdman with a chance (at least the easiest chance) on the first run.

I see Griffin getting doubled constantly. It's a shame that we don't have someone next to him to take advantage of that.

Yeah. Maybe we miss Noble more than we thought.

Since Griffin is the only real threat on the front four, he's been picking up double teams all season. Wynn has never been much of a factor as far as rushing the passer, and someone needs to explain the mechanics of the defensive end position to Phillip Daniels.
I made a point to watch Daniels on almost every defensive snap last week, and the funny thing is, he gets a decent push. The problem is, all he does is push. He makes no attempt to get around the tackle whatsoever. I guess he doesn't realize that an offensive tackle is perfectly content with letting you push him all over the field, as long as he keeps you in front of him.

Noble had 14 tackles and 1 sack in 16 starts last year. I don't think he's the answer, but apparently, neither are any of our other DT's.
why not use arrington as a D-end?

The coaching staff has the best players on the field at all times...
God, that was hard to say with a straight face.
