You have every right to be complaining. A lot of posters claim that this coaching staff does not value the safety position and apparently you all are correct. They have had multiple opportunities to draft a starting safety in this draft and have passed every time. An argument can be made that a strong pass rush can compensate for any deficiencies in the secondary. However, when the WR is wide open after the snap, the QB don't need to hold on to the ball for more than 2 seconds, making the pass rush pretty much irrelevant. These two areas of defense must complement each other in order to be successful. And another thing.....I don't care what defensive scheme you are running (3-4, 4-3, man, zone), if its 3rd and 3 and the DBs are playing 10 yards off the line of scrimmage, you are going to have a high rate of failure regardless of the quality of your personnel. This idiotic philosophy has got to change.

I just don't understand it. Our division rivals have had our defense's number the last few years and a big part of that is the lack of a decent FS. We play our CBs with a big cushion because we have no deep help and teams dink and dunk us to death, then we struggle on third and long because... we have no deep help.

your argument for why a pass rush doesnt help doesn't make sense about a safety

 

a CB, sure...  But a wide receiver isnt going to be wide open after two seconds because of a saftey 

If you have help over the top you don't need to be playing CBs 10 yards off the LOS.

I was referring to the secondary in general and safety is our weakest link. Does that make sense to you? And maybe the CB playing 10 yards off the LOS is because of lack of talent at safety. Don't understand why that does not make sense to you.

We also don’t have a nickel CB. Gaulden will get roasted as bad as Captain. He’s the least athletic DB in last year’s draft and we think he’ll hang with the quick slot WRs? We started the draft with FS and nickel as probably the biggest actual holes maybe aside from LG and right now we still sort of have holes at all 3. Williams May slide in to LG, but what if Little really isn’t ready (quite possible)? Van Roten, Gaulden and Colin Jones are still starters right now.

Also, we have multiple backups to Cam now but our offensive cogs (CMC, Samuel and Moore) have no one behind them that’s even close.

Love Burns and Miller, but we missed out on a lot.

Once I saw CGJ go to the Saints early today, I gave up. That cherry on top of utter incompetence from yesterday just turned me off to anything left.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      This thread is turning into bizarro world. Most of the anti-Bryce crowd was heavily pro CJ Stroud so I am confused how that ties into any racial element.  Not saying we still don't have some of that crowd in here but it's not like the Prime Cam years where this place was rife with those types.  The anti-Bryce sentiment SEEMS to MOSTLY be rooted in his underwhelming physical stature/abilities and/or his underwhelming overall career to date. All this being amplified by the massive trade haul we gave away for him. So, technically we have missed the opportunity to draft Jaden Daniels AND passed on CJ Stroud. Fairly or not, Bryce hasn't measured up to those type of players at all.

      Because 2 coaches have not allowed him to do it.  And in a real Hail Mary scenario the throw is  further than the clip shown and likey doesn’t allow a clean setup. You can’t go over the top.  So you have to let WRs get downfield and the technical throw is going to be further and as you have to drop back to by time and likely won’t have an ideal setup.

      I can’t stand silent any longer.. He has s sickness.  It will defy any logic people try to bring.  He tried to deny us the freedom of having a negative opinion of a player simply by the color of our skin. Yet we have positive opinions of many black players  Love some of them   I guess they must be house *you know the word* if we like them   I bring it to this: let’s say you are black. are there black people that you don’t like? I brt there are.  But no white people are allowed to dislike them? Because they are maybe shitty people of shitty players or there is just something about them you don’t line. We have to drop this way of thinking.
