Lets hope they have their best game tomorrow,   

Or Julio have the dropsies again

Or the front 7 camp in the back field tomorrow

Helps to not put them 20 yards off the LOS.

If you are going to blitz(which we do a lot) it is actually mentally inept to give them enough cushion to just sit there and be open for a hot/easy read....I mean....it's REALLLYYY fugin stupid to blitz while having that much cushion.

If you are pressed up on the WR and the blitz gets there the only option is literally a deep sideline shot and that's where a S is supposed to....oh....well poo yup our S's are turd biscuits.

I think what we're seeing is that Wilks is running his defense, and if you're a liability on the back end, then so be it where as McDermott would gameplan to help them look better.  Regardless, Bradberry has taken a massive step back this year, we have to be looking into corners going into next year, and not ones that couldn't go on the fun rides at the fair because of height restrictions.

Both of our starting corners are 6'1"(listed) and taller than our 5'11"(listed) S's.....

Not sure where you think we're going to be getting any taller there(Norman 6'0 listed)

We look for corners with arms that hang down to their knees, not just height.

That said, super tall corners are kinda rare. It's unusual for guys that tall to be fluid enough to do what a corner has to.

Last year, the DBs were being coached by Wilks directly. Can't help feeling that makes a difference.

For whatever you think of him as a DC, Wilks is a damn good position coach.

I think McDermotts zone scheme protected them much better than Wilks scheme. With that said even the best CBs rarely are great year two or three.

I've never been a fan of PFF, but to anyone actually watching the games it's been pretty clear that pur SECONDARY have not played well for the most part.

fixed

Unless you wanna elaborate on how our S play has been good?

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
