Did we change our entire defensive scheme this week?

Incoming TJ Hockenson 3 TD game
But he will still find a way to put a LB on a WR.
I half expected a link to a Babylon Bee article
Jalen Ramsey, Peezy jr and Thornhill tripled up on the tight end, Payton Wilson running after WR 1 like WR 1 is towing his car and driving away with it.
Welp.. now that the tight end issue is solved we’re currently working to solve the issue with wide receivers not being covered. But the good news is that the tight ends aren’t burning us anymore. It’s not a scheme issue, or a communication issue.. and it certainly is not a lack of skill.. it’s just a matter of placement on the field, some guys should have been in different places, it’s a situational game, and we’re working on that. We smile in the face of adversity.
Hahaha, I’ll believe that when I see it on Sunday. Scratch that…multiple Sundays and other games throughout the year…
So Tomlin is confident the offense is moving in the right direction after the worst performance of the season to this point, and now Teryl Austin is confident we can defend TEs well after a TE scores two TDs on us?? Is our coaching staff living in the bizarro world?
I’m honestly just impressed that they’ve identified an area to work on
aw_geez_man not confident Teryl Austin can do his job.
We are bringing Shamarko Thomas out of retirement to play man on their TE1 for the entire game
Who is Minnesotas TE? I wanna make sure I bet on them to score a touchdown Sunday.
Massive day incoming for TJ Hockinson
Sure Jan
Alright buddy
Teryl is saying anything to hold on to his job for the season. Then a new DC will be hired/promoted next year and we’ll run the exact same defense & he’ll continue to keep his job for the duration of his contract.
Hey Teryl you willing to bet your job on that?
Doubt it
I’m a Steelers fan but I’ve made a good bit of money over the years betting on player props for opposing tight ends. We never have been able to cover them.
I’m confident that my johnson will grow another two inches. What do I have to make me confident in that fact? Nothing.
Am I doing this right Mr. Austin?
It has been literally over 15 years since a team with good TEs didnt tear us the fuck up over the middle and I’m just supposed to believe that a DC who has squandered the most expensive defensive unit for years has magically turned it around in a few days since it just happened again on Sunday?
Yeah ok
Oh man, can’t wait to see Justin Jefferson get open deep over and over.
LOL! They’ve been saying this for YEARS! They never plug anything.
Seriously, quadruple cover the Tight ends. It’s getting pathetic.
This will not be the case on Sunday.
8 catches 90 yards and 1 TD is not good dude.
All of a sudden after 10 years we finally figured it out lol. Let’s find out!

Sure bud
What hunter Henry does to a organization
I’ll believe it when I see it. This has been a problem that predates Austin by over a decade.
No offense to mr. Austin here, but we haven’t been able to cover a tight end since….I dunno pre gronk era? I’m gonna need to see this supposed plug.
This is the equivalent of headlines about cold fusion. The headlines are exciting but at this point we know it’s physically impossible to accomplish.
Ok so now everyone but Tight Ends will beat us for a few weeks😂
He was allowed to speak??
yeah okay pal we’ll see
What about the running backs
?
It only took five+ years Teryl for you to address this. I will believe it when I see it.
Delusional
Tight Ends have been killing us for 25 years. 3-4 base defense just really can’t deal with modern TE’s.
TJ Hockenson career game incoming
lol every time our coaches say something, the opposite happens
So I guess this means from this point going forward that when a TE abuses them like clockwork it will be because the defense chooses to let it happen?
