Short passes

People are aware that our corners and safeties aren't the best and would rather take their chances challenging that group than waiting for our pass rush on seven step drops. Especially with Luke out of the middle to keep teams honest in pass coverage. Short passes done well is the closest thing to an indefensible play as there is in football, as we saw yesterday. People blaming the pass rush are out to lunch. McCown managed the game like an absolute professional and wasn't asked to make the difficult throws until the game was on the line. When he did, Norman made him pay. Three step drop and out in just a few seconds. No time for a pass rush to get there. Plus, our corners aren't great at press coverage. They're not an overly physical unit. Big bodied WR and TE are able to box them out and make short catches. 

Lost in the shuffle is that Sean Payton called a great game with a backup QB. Credit where credit is due. He didn't ask McCown to do anything unreasonable until he was forced to make him attack down the field and when he did, we made him pay. The Saints wanted to run the same offense they ran in the 1st quarter for the whole game. Killing clock and putting pressure on our offense after 5+ minute drives. It almost worked.

Luke will help a lot with this when he gets back. Klein is slow and not great in coverage so that area of the field has been exploited in the last couple games with Luke out. Hopefully Luke helping to take away the short passing game will also help out the pass rush some by giving them more time to get to the QB.

Agreed. Payton had a great game plan for McCown.

Stopped reading at your first sentence.

Josh Norman might be one of the best, if not the best corners in fotoball this year. Bene ain't no slouch either, and we have some solid vets contributing as well.

i cant hep but visualize a stubborn child throwing a tantrum everytime someone throws that line out.  Imagine a world where everone did that...it already close.

Read past thing you disagree with. You might learn a thing or two.

lol at Josh norman being the best Cb in football this year. Let's not get carried away now. Having a very good year but he's not Revis or sherman or some others.

If I told you on Saturday that McCown was going to complete 31 out of 38 passes with 8.2 YPA, would you have predicted a loss?  Most starting QBs don't do that well, let along backups.  McCown's also way way way more mobile than Brees, and he really used that to his advantage Sunday.  Bottom line is, we had no film on him, and he got in a zone quickly and stayed there.  It won't happen again.

Next week we face famous Jameis, and he's got some film to study.  Hopefully we get Keuchly back too.  I expect that yesterday will be used as a wake-up call by our defense, and they're going to bring the pain to the rookie on Sunday.

This is an issue Atl will take advantage of as well. We better get a hold on it before we play them. I do believe Luke will play a big part in that. So I do take comfort knowing that we were able to overcome that weakness without him. In all fairness the punt return for a td was what really kept them in the game. McClowns arm actually won the game for us in the end. All we really need to do is.....KEEP POUNDING!!!!

      Rasheed Walker for Kris Jenkins Jr.

      No poo tho you might could Jenkins for Legette. They got nothing at WR after the big 2 in Cincy. I don’t think you trade away OL depth. Could get a quality player in cuts. Really that 3-4 end spot what you should be looking for is someone who is stout with long arms and can push back the OL in both the run and pass game for others to make plays…. But we signed Wharton, sometimes I think Evero is a fraud ass nerd who should be an analyst at best.

      you would honestly probably do Monroe Freeling more of a disservice by putting him in a position where is not yet ready to succeed. .we all knew Monroe Freeling struggled at the NFL combine in drills because of technique related issues & would need time to develop  & now all of a sudden before they even put the pads on Monroe Freeling is somehow a starting LT in the NFL ? if he struggled at the NFL scouting combine what do you actually think is going to happen in a live NFL game at LT ? .even our best LT of all time was not ready to start at LT when he was a rookie & he turned out to be a pretty good darn LT by the name of Jordan Gross ...just saying be patient Young Jedis

      well i could go on & on but i will just highlight it by saying big difference trust me from the SEC & NFL.it's honestly like comparing apples & oranges especially when you are talking about a  LT. in the NFL you are going up against the most athletic freaks of nature the world has to offer . .the NFL also has much more exotic & complicated defensive schemes than what they are used to seeing at Georgis &  finally but most importantly you have to learn how to master complex bio mechanics where the body kick steps instantly as a reaction to these world class athletes rush without really making a conscious effort it's more of a learned muscle memory  & it can take thousands upon thousands of reps to master rproper technique for a LT in the NFL especially if you are still very raw like Monroe Freeling is    ...just saying
