Our defense is made up of Luke, TD, and 9 carnies

In retrospect, letting most of the secondary go in the offseason is affecting the team WAY more than the receivers. I wouldn't grade a single member of our secondary as even average in coverage skills. 

 

The defensive line has pretty much fallen apart without Hardy. The bloom is completely off the rose of Mario Addison and I saw our DTs constantly out of position and taking wrong angles. And don't forget about AJ Klein: There was a play where Bernard had the ball running near Klein today and he was so slow that Kuechly managed to come from the opposite side of the field to make the play before Klein had a chance to react.

 

It's disturbing and sad, but when we don't make the playoffs or lose once we do, it will almost certainly be the fault of the defense. What a shitshow.

Secondary isn't worse than last year. Lack of pass rush just exposes them. The secondary is equally mediocre.

 

DeCoud is definitely a worse "last line of defense" guy than Mitchell was, though arguably better cover skills.  Maybe a wash, but with the front seven being gashed like they are this weakness is really being exposed.

Keek is elite

Davis is very good

KK is very good

Star is good

CJ is either Great or bad

Horton/Addison are both average

Cason is mediocre in coverage but is a ball hawk who forces turnovers

Klein and Blackburn are both okay

Harper/DeCoud/White are all inconsistent

Godfrey sucks

We need Hardy back but getting Bene/Norman back alone would be a start

TD completely whiffed on the Bernard TD. He looked like a kid in pop warner that only gets to play because his parents sponsor the team.

Godfrey STILL HASN'T RECOVERED FROM ACHILLES INJURY

Thanks for the template.

    • okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.  
    • Jackie, any more reps tomorrow, or is that it for this session?  thanks for the work
    • How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
