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

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.

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.

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.

    • 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
