On the Run defense I think were still lacking a solid D tackle to put in there with Williams and I'm not sold on our linebacking crew at all. This vanilla defense we run doesnt seem to stop anyone anyway.

Every week I hear Frazier talk about improve this or we need to improve that.Just do it or go bye bye.

K williams winding down his career. 2 of the 3 linebackers need upgrading. Those things could improve run defense. Ponder is not the answer at QB. I cant remember the last time this franchise developed a young QB. You could argue Culpepper but look how that ended up. A hall of fame RB will not win a championship but a hall of fame QB can. Trade Peterson.

the first way to improve the run defense is to wrap up. I like the rookie safety Harrison, but at this point he is one of the worst offenders...consistently running in and lowering the shoulder with no wrap up. The good backs just bounce off...
