Bruton and the SS position in general is usually a spot which helps clean up running backs when they may get to the second level. Usually because they play off they are not impeded by the blocking scheme, they can get to a spot to A)make the tackle or B) make the runner turn back inside to pursuit. Bruton has been extremely ineffective in doing either. Maybe Barry is saying to sit back...I don't know. But Strong Safety play is not doing us any favors in run support.
We really need someone else along the line to step up versus the run...Bruton or someone else at Strong Safety needs to provide better support at the second level and we need to tackle better.
Thoughts, ideas? Baltimore is gonna run the rock, we need to play better

Start with better tackling...
I said I was concerned with missed tackles last week... this week was even worse.
Mason Foster and Norman seemed to be the only ones able to tackle consistently...
I would like to see the yards we allowed after contact, that has to be awful...
