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.

^This guy gets it! 

 

Was beginning to give up on this place for having common sense 

[jumpman910]

Not bashing either guy but this happens when you solely look at lengh and size of corners. Neither have the speed or deep speed to keep up with wr's. 

Definitely need a combination of both. But like I said last year, if a better corner drops in the draft they have to be in play.

One of Deshon Elliott, Ronnie Harrison, or Armani Watts better be on this team next summer.

And yet, we're 11-4.

They've played against the likes of Rodgers, Brady, Ryan, Brees, Winston, Stafford, Wentz and a surprisingly good Case Keenum this year. Let's take that Trubisky game out (although our secondary wasn't the problem there). And they've done it with aging safeties and the underwhelming performance of Captain Munnerlyn at nickel. 

And really, only one of those was it close to a blow out (that first one against the Saints). 

The stats might say they suck, but the record speaks for itself. Right now, they are just good enough to slow down a good offense. And sometimes that's all you need.

(And Worley has been turning it on pretty good in the last few games). 

If we stick with these guys, they're going to be a good tandem. A really good tandem.

A really good tandem... at getting burnt by receivers nobody has ever heard of....

I agree having them play off so much is a bad idea as it gives opponents an easy completion, but then again I have seen Worley still get beat deep a lot the past 2 season despite playing 10-15 yards off the receiver

With how bad the corners/safeties are, the defense is pretty much screwed either way unless we sack the QB in 2 seconds or less.

[raleigh-panther]

Perhaps they are being asked to play more man and they are better suited for zone

either way, the back four are terrible

[pantherphan96]

how much of that is a result of playing soft zone with a 7 point lead and allowing our opponents to march down the field?

bradberry has regressed this year but worley has actually improved some in coverage

A lot of time when the corner "gets beat deep" it's really a S who isn't where he should be or is playing the wrong coverage.

We've seen it time and time again where our S help is actually in stride with our fugin CB for some reason....that isn't on the CB when his S help is on his own hip.

We might have one of the worst secondaries in football but by golly Gettlemagic left us with plenty of hogmollies to ride the bench! 

[Hoenheim]

Kurt Coleman in particular has been really bad all season. He's usually on the bad end of the highlight reel chunk plays against the defense, either whiffing tackles or getting punked through the air

[beastson]

If Hurney doesn't dive in the DB's in Free Agency I'm going to choke a pastor
