Correct..Its one thing for an inferior player to line up and get beat..But the Bears are hardly in a position to get beat one on one...The spot is empty most of the time cause the player is out of position..This is coaching IMO
Yeah, it's time we stop using the injuries as an excuse. It's definitely a big part, but the real problem is Tucker. All you need to look at is the play of Shea. I'm done supporting this guy. He has absolutely NO concept of what containment is. Just look at the two big runs that both led to TD's.
LITERALLY, on every play, Shea is crashing the middle! His first step is to the inside, and he immediately gives up his outside shoulder thus losing containment. The Rams would run it to whatever side Shea lined up at.
The BASIC concept of being a DE is to contain the outside. Once you let the RB or the QB outside of you, YOU'VE LOST! Remember when Vick came to town? Lovie and Rod would preach not letting Vick outside of the pocket. I remember Pep just sitting outside and forcing Vick inside!
Shea crashing the middle is also messing with the young LB's as well, imo, as he has them looking for the wrong gap since he's not containing the outside where he should be! Imo, getting Shea off the field is the single best thing for our defense right now. This is why Ratliff could be huge.
The thing is..... how the heck can our defensive coaches not notice this? If I were the coach, I would have been in Shea's face after the first big run for a TD. He immediately bit inside, and lost the containment by taking the wrong pursuit. He should have been chasing Tavon from behind, but INSTEAD, he crashed the middle!
Go watch the plays and see Shea do it literally every time. And the fact that NO coach said anything show a lack of discipline and coaching, imo, unfortunately.
