[QUOTE="Favre>Rodgers259, post: 853464, member: 10866"] To bring the focus back on the defense, I don't see Pettine being a scapegoat in the near future. His M.O. seems to be conservative with some designed plays until it's time to turn up the heat. We continually can't cover the middle however, and I'm for now attributing that to a lack of personnel as well as a scheme issue. But I believe it's more personnel than scheme. Gute I'm confident is going to address that in FA and the Draft, and then it's up to Pettine to dial it up and call it correctly. I've also said that our DL has seriously regressed in the personnel department. All we have is Clark. Clark's numbers are down because he has no help. Adams currently has 43.8 grade from PFF and Dean Lowry has a grade of 58.8; however he had a grade of 73.8 in 2018. Adams had a grade of 69.3 in 2018 but he played only 19.7% of all defensive snaps last year, which is what I'm assuming gave the coaches overconfidence in him handling the load this year. Meanwhile, Lowry earned his grade playing 66.3% of all defensive snaps last year. I'm willing to forgive Lowry and get him some help on the other side of the DL. This in my opinion could easily be solved by swapping Gary for Adams, which is what I thought he was brought here to do when they called his name, this OLB project isn't going to work if the Smiths are continually producing. Now we have to spend more draft capital for a "missing piece" who I already believe is on the team. The key to a successful 3-4 is the DL demanding double teams and allowing the LBs to stuff the run and run free to the QB. People complain that Martinez only makes plays when he can stay clean...when he does make plays in the backfield that's usually because the DL did its job on that play. It's kind of hard to expect him to continually make said splash plays if he has to tango with a OL who most likely outweighs him by 75+ lbs. The same can be said about the run. With no push up front, you've practically given the opposing RB a free 2 yard play. If he can make a defender miss or at least fall forward at the point of contact, call it a 4-5 yard run. If we can improve the DL and find a true cover ILB, I look forward to the progression in Mike Pettine's system. [/QUOTE]
