Is this the worst secondary in NFL history?

I think it is kinda ironic that a guy named ThinkAboutit can't do what his name insinuates.

 

Why don't you take a look at your name and then look at the title of this thread. See the disconnect?

 

I see a literalist in you. I saw what you think you see before you thought it and rejected it...hence, the post.

what made our patchwork secondary last season look decent? A PASS RUSH

You cant look at one aspect of the defense and not the other

playing chicken v egg doesn't make you look smart. 

 

regardless of the pass rush problems, there has been an undeniable downgrade across the board in the secondary, specifically at safety. these huge running plays aren't happening due to lack of pass rush, they're happening because the guys back there can't make plays. 

 

hurf and durf all you want about not having hardy or alexander; decoud should not be on the field.

lol you cannot deny that having hardy and alexander would improve the defense. A good passrush helps out the DBs and good DEs help run defense. Granted they have been playing poorly back there. Gap defense is an easy concept to fix.

Why take a personal approach ? lol what have i done to you

i never denied having hardy and alexander would help the defense. you are arguing against strawmen. 

 

the players in the secondary, specifically at safety, are not nfl caliber players. and your grade school causation argument doesn't mask that. 

 

if gap problems are easy to fix you'd think the coaching staff would have done it, or that decoud would be capable of making the correction.

      The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter.

      Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.

      So where can I find out tailgating parking spots for the season?

      By toldozer · Posted

      I parked in this lot a few times. It would take over and hour to get out of that lot after games. Never again
