ORIGINAL: Daniel Lee Young Ingram got trucked repeatedly… An inside swim move baffled him completely, and he stood there, blocking air, while his guy went after cousins like sour on lemon.. In a 3-4, the “3” are supposed to occupy blockers while the 4 LBs fill gaps and tackle runners.. Kendrick’s went from being a ball seeking tackle machine making plays all over the field, to a below average tackler and coverage linebacker. Middle crossing and flat flare and curl routes were open for 6-7 yards all day.. GB averaged 6 yPc in rushing with backup offensive line men in the game. When a fully competent offensive line can give a pocket protection, we are going to see more than 7 points scored.. We dodged two bullets.. the wide open long pass dropped, by the rookie, and the failed 4/ goal, which was a bad overall playcall. I’ll give it time, but if the 4 part of the 3-4 doesn’t improve a lot.. the back 4 DB/safety group is going to get called on to make a lot of situational saves. I'll disagree on Ingram. He had a couple of bad moments on our 2nd and 3rd possessions, but I thought he settled in pretty good after that.
