Zero QB pressure, poor run D. Gonna really limit our success.
Our Defensive Line is a Huge Weakness
- Thread starter Salvi's Headband
- Start date
Turned the game off and will not be watching agsin until some time in the fourth quarter. Don't think I will miss much. I truly hate watching RU play screwed up. FB
Not just toure. Line gets no pressure. Pushed around. No interior lineman is getting push or making plays. Sucks.
LBs are a problem
But RU blocked a kick to get in the red zone and got no points.
This is RU's long running red zone weakness
Always have to play thafe!
Eat ****! To the others Rutgers fans. I’m in your corner good luck! I’m rootin for ya!
We got 3 sacks from the DL today, haven't had that against a P4 team in quite a while.
Yeah they honestly played much better in the second half. I will gladly eat my words.
Defense played great the entire second half. Great effort and execution.
THIS!!!
We have 1 good LBer and its not POwell. Powell is so overrated, he made 1 great play last year against Indiana and he was appointed the next Lavar Arrington but he is not. He does not fill holes, shot gaps etc. He is better in space that inside.
I don't want to hear he is coming back from an injury, he has played LB for 4 years, he has practiced for at least 5 weeks and played in 3 games. He is set to go physically but he is not instinctive or natural at inside LB.
I think Kyonte Hamilton's play is overlooked a bit.
He made a great sack vs Neb with 4 tackles total (one a TFL).
Vs Wash he had 8 tackles.
He hasn't been a potted plant out there.

We forgot that NIL can get you some quality players at key positions. We are quick to bash but REFUSED to help with NIL. Being cheap has consequences.
Powell is a really good player. I watched him yesterday miss plays he would last year because he's lost some explosiveness.
I rehab injuries for a living. An Achilles repair typically takes AT LEAST 9 months to get back to 90% (which is usually the threshold for return to play). Usually it's more like a year.
He clearly doesn't have the strength/power in his calf muscles he did pre-injury.
Is that stat for total Achilles tears or partial? I suspect he had a partial tear since he’s back after tearing it in the offseason.
Does this loss really sting? I mean any worse then any other loss?
Road game vs a what looks like a good team. We didn't outplay them. We never had a lead.
Agree. Too many dramatic words like sting, suffered, over, embarrassing, horrible, brutal, etc etc. it's B1G football.
Typically if it's a partial tear and it's repaired, the tear was a significant percentage of the tendons thickness. I have a 90% tear who had a repair, he's about 5 months out and his recovery is similar to a full tear.
But actually I'm assuming it was repaired, maybe it wasn't?
Either way his explosiveness clearly isn't there the way it was last year.
