Time to reshuffle the deck.....youth over age

[Jmac]

When a team has very little pass rush and a slow secondary,it's a recipe for failure. I would venture to say most of the secondary will be gone next season. Bene,Boston,Norman should be on the field as soon as they HEAL and should be worked in as starters. Let them cut their teeth this year and see what they got. This team needs to develop a core in the secondary and can not clean house every year. The secondary has to play soft and off the recievers due to lack of speed and closing ability. Watching them get sliced up week after week is painfull. The free fall of this unit has been sad. Time to get the young guys in there and let them develop. Can't be much worse then what they have right now.

[JJman]

Would anyone be opposed to cutting Godfrey and giving Lester a shot?

First off,I'm not your bro. Second,I do believe if you said that to anyone in here to their face you would be flat on your ass. Time to ban this damn abuse once and for all.

Jmac, i understand what you are saying. There are a few things to add though. first we had some young guys in there but they got injured. second we play what looks like soft coverage because we play zone. all of our dbs are better at zone than man. If you switch to man with this group it may not work. The reason we play man, is we often blitz guys, and having man coverage helps prevent holes in coverage. We will bring the young guys back when they heal, but the scheme will remain. I think you are going to need to be patient if you want tight man coverage it might be years.

I would think this theory really applies to special teams. They have been killing us. What is 80 yr old Roman Harper out there on specials teams? He didn't move one muscle as Jones ran by.

if it was third down all you had to do was look at where charles godfrey was lined up to know where the ball was going

[catnip]

Rigth about going at Godfrey. He is too slow to play ! I remember three straight 3rd downs going at him and the Bengals] made all three.

Godfrey is playing nickel corner now and Lester is a pure safety.  They are not comparable.

[PantherPhann89]

Speed and Talent are certainly issues but so is "Attitude". We don't have attitude in our CB's outside of Norman. But having a weak secondary is no secret, our front 4 isn't up for the task.

The tie short circuited the fan base.

 

We are not tanking the season because of a tie you loons. There are plenty of games to go

[Davidson Deac II]

I think that the chemistry was lost when Hardy was taken out, I always refer to the first game of the season when we were the defense from last year. The secondary is horrid though

 

McNown might have made us look better than we were.  But fwiw, our best defensive performance of the year was against Detroit.

A 12-4 season above all expectations with spare parts short circuited the fan base to the point where if we aren't getting 9 sacks a game the defense is a failure.

We are currently in the midst of facing some very talented offensive teams and have played only ONE division game. Things should even out as the schedule gets easier.

You'd never know we are a game and a half in first place.

I asked myself this same question when I saw Jones blow by him.  Maybe he's filling in or an injured Bene?
