Our pass rush is absolute dog shit right, dog shit! So, with us not being able to get to the QB- at all, what do you think you would do? Me, I think I would probably get really sticky on the backend, hope these tight cover bad asses (on paper at least they are "supposed" to be) could stay on their guys long enough that my D line guys can get home.

Well ol' Lou, the NFL defensive savant, the man that architected one of, or perhaps a few of, the NFL's all time worst D's, despite having a borderline HOF DE's, well that MF'er that is Lou, you see he is a genius.


Baltimore to open the season= 60% man rate. Yeah man, ok, ok, that's your style, you're going to stick to your guns, turn your back to the most vacate the pocket lightning quick to get into the void with his legs QB of all time- ok, sure man, that's your mode of operation, gotta stick with it even if it hurts you, growing pains, 1st game, so be it--- I am cool with it. Build your identity, let the guys know this is how we are going to play on the back end all year so learn it and get used to it!

Hey, game 6, we're playing what is widely being panned as one of the worst QB's in the NFL. Starting to be talked about as a huge bust. So, you would think the objective would then be to get after him, keep up that high man rate and really get aggressive with the attacking front. Nope, not quite! Smarty pants Lou fooled them Mofos- he went man 17.4% against Ward. Yep, less than 20%, or less than 1/3 of his man rate against one of the league's man killers, he went man against one of the league's premier suckers. The result- NO SACKS, we had 1---- ONE MOTHERFUCKING HIT--- on maybe the league's worst QB, and what did we get- a fucking interception!

One fucking hit and he got sacked 4 times the game before! Cool man, let's go soft zone and let them develop routes against us. We blitzed him 6 times in the game. Granted he only threw 22 passes, but come the fuck on man.

Oh, and can't blame the injury to Sauce as the reason these numbers exist- Sauce went down mid 3rd Qtr. Nope, this just Lou being Lou.

Man, he has to be one of the all time worst hires in NFL history! You won't convince me that we are playing slow uninspired defense because nobody wants to play for this dude.

FUCK WE SUCK!

Ballard is a zone cover 2, Tampa 2, cover 3 guy. I'm pretty sure he wasn't a supporter of Lou's tactics. I'll reserve judgements on Lou for a few games without Ballard around.

I honestly didn't think the GM had anything to do with game plans or form of defense we play. It is huge that he may draft players that your coaches don't want (look at Latu-Ballard saw him as an alpha rusher, Lou seems him as a strong side defensive end, in this case i think Lou is right) to play like the GM drafted them to play but will the actual game plan change now that Ballard is gone?

Yeah the Fredd Young trade was worse than the Sauce trade. Although if the Jets end up w/ a top 5 pick in the '27 draft then they're probably closer than we think.

For me by far the worst trade we've ever made is for Jeff George. An all pro LT, future all pro WR, and 2 1st rounders for a bad QB who we could have probably just have drafted in the 1st round with the pick we had.

I'm not saying you're wrong, and I'm obviously just speculating, but then why is Lou playing so little m2mm coverage? I thought that was his preferred coverage. Is it due to the lack of pass rush?
