DC Frank Bush a Disaster so far

If we can press the receivers simultaneously with the blitz we could get to the qb. We are getting pressure though.

The pass defense has not been the issue because nobody has really even had to pass. Press vs Soft coverage has nothing to do with us giving up 200 yards per game rushing.

Exactly - What we need that we didn't get was plain 'Ol everyday gap integrity. Kubiak also said that the Drew-Jones play that went for 61 yards and a TD, was the same play JAX ran on the very first play of the game. Exception, they only got one yard on that play because we played gap integrity. He said it was driving him nuts because it was the same read on both plays, but somebody decided to play it differently on the second one.

I got a dumb question - isn't gap integrity a problem of the front 7 in stopping these long runs?

If that is the problem , likely it is a player and not the coaching.

This is why it has to be a player issue. Same play by the offense & the same defensive play, but on one the players stay in their lanes and and it's a 1 yard gain, but on the second they jump out of their lanes and the big gain happens. It's been happening time and time again. The right calls are being made, but the players are screwing them up, usually by over committing and then being out of position.

That's about as close as Kubiak will come to calling somebody out by name in public, but clearly that's him pointing a sharp finger at Busing on that busted
61-yard play by MJD.
I dunno but maybe we should stay away from these risk-taking entrepreneurial types who might otherwise be taking long-shots with the Enrons of the corporate-world on derivative-type schemes if the Texans don't give them another opportunity in the NFL ?

I don't know, Kubiak may have been talking about a player (or players) with that quote. I know Busing left the game at some point and I think he got yanked, not injured. Was it after that play?

I would be interested to see where the Def ranks in TFL and average 3rd down yardage. To me these 2 stats will be the biggest indicator or how Bush's system is working.

I would also be interested to see how they are stacking up on QB hurries. They may not be sacks, but they are pressure and can lead QB's to make mistakes, however if the secondary is 10 yards from the reciever down field it will not matter.
