Who needs to step up?

(If LaVar would be placed on the DLine just for 3rd downs, other teams would have to totally readjust to make sure he's taken care of, which would open the door for others to get the QB. The biggest thing is besides Griffin, no one is really getting double teamed on the line.)


I totally agree with this!! Lavar as even a decoy works better than what you are doing now.

Illdefined you are right, teams are figuring this system out and if you can't get into the backfield, then you can't get pressure and teams will start to pick you apart.

Unless it's Dallas and they give it all back in the last four minutes.

adopt a run scheme, then there be no complaints about Portis, hey he's good, he's bang up and hes playing hard every game...

and who really needs to step up is that LT Chris Samuels, he got dogged by a rookie.... please.....pass block got damn it

Part of the reason why that rookie had a field day against us was because we were going with a silent count on shotgun. That stadium is so loud. So, because of that the tackles are forced to look at the ball instead of listening to the snap count. So right there the DE has the advantage to get around the tackle faster. Another one that got away from Samuels was one where Portis chipped, but chipped him to the inside, and by that time Samuels couldn't get to him.

IMO, I think Samuels so far is having a solid season. Him and Jansen both.
