Aaron Glenn's speciality is supposed to be the secondary given that's what he played in the NFL. But even with the secondary being inconsistent and struggling at times, having zero pass rush with no QB pressure is really difficult to overcome. When a QB and offense get 4-5-6+ seconds to let plays develop and receivers get that kind of time to get open it puts the secondary in a tough position. You can only ask the secondary to hold tight coverage for so long. And against a mobile QB who can extend plays in and out of the pocket that makes things harder. The opposing QB doesn't fear our pass rush because Glenn continually rushes only 4, doesn't gets no push from the interior, and doesn't have a talent on the field besides Hutch that represents any serious threat.

The attack against Whitmer, at least in a Democratic primary, is that she bought in hook, line, and sinker to Republican, supply side, trickle down economics. Whitmer is a big believer in the trickle down theory of giving corporations big handouts in exchange for job growth. She's given over $3.7 billion in corporate welfare handouts through the state's SOAR (Strategic Outreach and Attraction Reserve) corporate welfare slushfund. She gave Ford Motor Company over $200 million I believe for their new battery plant in Marshall, MI. She gave tens-of-millions to a Swedish-based paper mill in the UP to save a couple hundred jobs at the cost of over $250,000/job. She's also refused to support a graduated income tax as Governor and taxing the wealthy. If I were a Democratic candidate I think the hit on Whitmer is economically speaking, she's governed like a corporate-supporting Governor with the use of trickle down economics through the state's SOAR corporate welfare slush fund.

Also, Alim McNeil didn't register on the stat sheet today. Neither did Levi. I sarcastically ask were they even playing? Wasn't this supposed to be the new, improved Alim McNeil who cut weight, got slimmer, and was supposed to add more of a pass rushing element to his game?

Campbell can't fire Glenn because he'll be next if he has to fire Glenn. Sure, the very best coaches let go of coordinators all the time from Belichick to Reid. But for a coach as new as Campbell, without any major wins or achievements under his belt, he has no one left to blame but himself if both the coordinators he initially hired end up fired (Lynn and Glenn). At that point, the emperor will have no clothes and if this season goes south in any kind of way, Campbell will be next. I said it last year and I still believe it. Aubrey Pleasant was scapegoated and fired because the PR of having to fire Glenn would have looked bad on Campbell and meant he was next. It's becoming clear that firing Pleasant did not quite improve our defense the way we thought it did. Today's embarrassing performance highlights that.

Given his age, I'd give up a 2nd rounder for Chase Young. It's not like our 2nd round picks usually amount to much anyways. I think a 2nd for a guy whose still just 24 is fair. I'd offer a 2nd + 1 additional pick if that's what it took to get it done.

Do you feel deflated after this loss or just as optimistic as you for coming into the game?

Stoney just said the Lions gave up 132 yards to Seattle Tight Ends. What the efffff did we draft Jack Campbell for? What's up with Glenn's lack of aggression, the soft zone coverage, and allowing bigger wide outs and TEs to eat them up in space? We watch these same things over and over again from the defense. But the inability to cover TEs in open space and really period is a continued problem of Glenn's defensive system.

Right now the person I feel most bad for is either Kelvin Sheppard or John Scott Jr. If this defense doesn't improve and generate pressure on the QB, one of the two will be labeled as the scapegoat and sent packing. Hopefully this was just a one off poor performance by the defense.

That's on Aaron Glenn's scheme and the fact that Holmes still has yet to address any sort of interior pass rush. You can say Levi, but he's been a total bust thus far.

Aaron Glenn's defense punked again by Geno Smith. What's old is new.

Seattle has neither starting Tackle and hasn't let up a sack today. We are supposed to be a vaunted offensive line and they are folding.

St. Brown now questionable with cramps.

Sacked again, we're gonna lose.

I don't feel good about this now. I think Hal Vatai is seriously injured now.

I'm amazed at how little pressure we're generating up front. They really need an interior pass rusher like, oh, Jalen Carter. I wasn't on the Carter bandwagon, so I won't try to rewrite history, but they are really lacking they interior pass rush when Aiden doesn't slide inside. I'm also questioning the coaching.

Way to answer back with 7 after a BS PI call. That's what good teams do, recover and score!

WTF

The blocking scheme may have gotten him blown up in the backfield though.

That was easy and Seattle is right back in it.

Are you kidding me? Starting the second half off with a fumble.

For such a creative play caller on 1st and 2nd down, we seem to get a lot of halfback dives and uncreative, up the middle play calling.

Touchdown Raymond!!!

Bears losing to the Bucs through the second quarter. So much for those of us that had them pegged to take a decent sized step this season.

TOUCHDOWN!!!

"So awesome" that the moral majority of America and the party of family values is ok with fingering your spouse in public and getting a quickie, in the movie theater, where kids and families are at. But yeah, keep telling my gay cousin on my mom's side of the family that he and his boyfriend are immoral people who are grooming children to be bad, scary gay people. Seriously, **** off GOP!!!
