I think his Run D is still excellent. He's got elite instincts and fits runs early and he is an amazing tackler. My complaint is more that, because he can't cover anyone any more, we'll have to run light boxes or give up easy completions to underneath options. It's a tough choice to have to make.Darrell Green Fan wrote: Wed Feb 26, 2025 7:25 amI'm glad to see I'm not the only one who feels this way about Bobby Wagner. I loved the signing, wanted him years ago. And I understand he graded out well. But sorry I just didn't see the impact his numbers would suggest. He sure made a ton of tackles 6 yards downfield. I know others are to blame but it's hard for me to see a defense that was gutted up the middle from Game 1 on and feel that Bobby Wagner was a force on defense.GoingCommando wrote: Sun Feb 23, 2025 6:54 amWe need to move on from Wagner even at half that number. His intangibles are strong, but he can't cover anyone any more and it is killer. His run D is so good that you hate to lose that. But even still, we have to play with light boxes, in large part, because he can't cover anyone so that it comes out as a wash for our run D in the end. Also he's not running down the Saquon Barkleys or Bijan Robinsons or James Cooks of the NFL any more.mhd24 wrote: Sat Feb 22, 2025 9:29 am
Yeah, loved his leadership, but was SLOW on the field by the end of the year. He was a liability to be frank.
We need better coverage in our back seven and a big part of that is getting a MIKE who can single cover slot weapons, tight Ys, and backs.
His leadership will be missed but there are plenty of others to fill that role, if they really want to improve their defense they need to upgrade this position with more speed and playmaking ability IMO.

We need to improve our coverage first and foremost, then the rest of the defense will improve. We've got a chance to get way better in the secondary because I think Lattimore could bounce back big time and Sainristil is rapidly improving. I think one more big time DB and getting a LBer that can cover could put this group over the top. Then we'll start flying around in the run game.
