[QUOTE="greengold, post: 851325, member: 14223"] I really do understand where you are coming from. In my eyes, I've been wondering if they haven't been grooming Ty to take over for Blake, keeping him out to watch what is happening out there, in essence, giving him half a season or so to learn the nuances of Pettine's D, then give him a go... It has been what we would have to consider a purposeful absence in play at ILB, for a guy who really is a pretty good player. Maybe I am overvaluing him. My eyes and the study I've done on him tell me differently. PkrJones just alluded to Kwiatkowski. Their draft profiles are quite similar, yet Ty is vastly more athletic. Faster, stronger, better high jump, better long jump. Just an explosive athlete who played with a lot of fire at TCU. Regardless, we will definitely see what they have in store to change their poor play in the middle. Maybe it works, maybe it doesn't, but, I cannot see it getting any worse. I also agree that all of the defensive woes cannot be pinned on Martinez, but, he does account for many in both run D and pass D. Our problems on D have been pretty wide ranging, not our positive play (over the past 6 weeks). Our sack totals are down significantly, our TOs have taken a big downturn. We are giving up a ton of explosive plays. I don't see us punching balls out or making many INTs. Our 3rd down D has been pretty poor. We can point to some injuries, early losing Burks, Greene, Brown, Hollman for extended periods, along with Montravius, and recently with King playing through a groin or hammy, I forget, and Savage with the ankle. Every team experiences those. I see some slipping with both Lancaster and Lowry, though they have had positive moments too. Getting the extension, I did expect more good, consistent play from Lowry. Can't say we've had that. Z and Preston have been keeping us in games, if not with sacks, with pressures. Gary is getting limited snaps, around 15 per game. That looks like a purposeful plan too. Maybe some of this stuff turns around for the better. Good teams can slip in early going, then recover to finish out. We'll see. [/QUOTE]
