Play calling questions are fine. Existential questions about the staff are not.

So we discovered this year that our defensive starters are good but the backups aren’t. Surprised?

I'm not necessarily surprised, no. But I guess I can't be a little disappointed in that?

To be honest, a little, yes. Keep hearing about all this depth we have now

My problem is that people are either ignorant or not watching the game

Just so you are aware a 4 man front is still a passive bend but don’t break

Lol Obviously the point was lost on you. Carry on

You actually made my point very succinctly. The complaint is a moving target.

Blueto

The complaint isn’t against the ‘front’ lol.

He did. Watch the game.

I was there and watched. Rare blitzes

He did. It just wasn't super effective. Partly due to injuries/new positions, QB

Yeah, we had the QB dead to rights several times and he got away... The blitz

The issue is that people just use Tuiaki as a punching bag

No, you can worry about the defense, just don't post Fire Tuiaki because of 1
