ZN,
I am not talking about the Bears game, or any game....
all season long. THe offense is so good,and controls the entire game, so the defense wasn't truly exposed.
Soft:Litteleton--can't take on Guards as ILB (body size can't)
Barron--can't take on Guards as ILB (body size can't)
M Peters--soft as a pillow in his tackling
Talib--not impressive since return from injury (yes, I know he is protecting himself)
J Johnson--good tackler, but not TJ Ward type of safety that this team needs because of
all the softness. Love JJ as a FS; a very good football player, but miscast a bit.
Brockers--not dominating physically
Fowler---Like his first step, when he uses it; another example of a weak upper body; he does very little. However, yes, we do need him--and a 4th would have been ok.
If you have 1-2 soft players, that can destroy a defense.
Yes, Wade's leadership is intellectual, but it needs to extend into the players playing like a physical playoff team.
No backing off on this...said it for a looooong time.
