Red Zone Defense

"Smoked"?  I doubt that.  Besides, teams still gotta get to the red-zone and we're top 10ish in points allowed.  

It's concerning, but I'm sure it will correct itself over the season.  I trust Rivera's defensive knowledge to get it fixed.

What are you talking about? The hallmark of this defense this year has been giving up yards between the 20s and then tightening up in the redzone.

We are second worst in the league only to the Buccaneers. Look it up.

Other than having a safety or DB come of there man. No way Luke or any other LB gets out in time to cover that TE while fighting thru slant traffic.  

Need to stop bunching the LBs in the middle and let Davis & Shaq play outside to cover the underneath stuff from TEs & RBs.

    • He seems way more talented than Beck, I think Beck is destined to be a backup if not UFL in a couple years
    • https://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/3456159/report-maple-leafs-hurricanes-among-teams-interested-in-hamilton The Toronto Maple Leafs and Carolina Hurricanes are among the teams with interest in New Jersey Devils defenseman Dougie Hamilton, reports The Athletic's Pierre LeBrun. However, it's believed that the Maple Leafs would only consider a trade if the Devils retained a significant portion of Hamilton's contract, LeBrun adds. Hamilton is signed for two more seasons after 2025-26 with a $9-million cap hit. He also has a 10-team trade list, but Hamilton's agent, J.P. Barry, said his client is willing to consider teams outside that list to help accommodate a move. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Someone needs to explain how this benefits the Canes in any way. Any weakness on Carolina's blue line is a result of RBA's inability to establish any pairings with Slavin not in the lineup.  Hamilton is far from physical and, in many respects, he's a younger version of Brent Burns. Not a physical intimidator in any way and a fairly mediocre D-man. The only draw may be his offense?  There are a few other priorities I would like to see addressed heading into the playoffs before bringing in a retread D-man. 
    • I'll be honest with you, since they got into the NIL rules and quicker transfer portals, the quality of QBs coming out of college has sucked across the board. The ones who seem to do the best are the ones who sat a year or two on a bench, then had a year or two on the field under the same coaching staff, learning the game, how to manage and how to lead. Those guys are almost unheard of now.  I know college football was monetized decades ago, but when they just tore the lid off of it, they made a mess of the game. (And let's not even touch how they have screwed education...)/
