The reason I think our secondary gets beaten by short routes..

We don't have safeties to a) blitz often, B) jam at the line, or c) play a lock down man style D.

Sorry, its not the corners, it's the safeties.

I never thought about it that way. Good point. While Godfry is playing absolutly terrific for a strating rookie, he still has a bit to learn. Harris can be good, but he is more of a hard hitter. I don't know why they don't use Harris on more blitzes. Imagine him knocking the hell outta Warner this weekend. That would be nice.

Thats why we can't afford to play physical on the WR's.

Neither of our S's can cover well. Usually you have a FS and a SS, and while both need to be able to cover, the FS is normally the smaller better cover S.

We need to be able to have Marshall out there most of the game, and hope that he matches up well with Breaston.

Yes, I hope Marshall matches up well to. while he can really make heads up plays that can possibly lead to points, he can get burned badly in coverage. Hopefully Godfry can support the CB's in their coverage on Sat.

Well hopefully Pep can get his game on and get to Warner before he can throw the ball. Warner has a tremendous release. This game will be give and take between the secondary and pass rush. If the secondary can lock up their man for at least one second and a half, it will force Warner to hang on to the ball and give Pep and the rest of the line time to get to Warner.

Like I said, it will all be a game of give and take.

Sometimes I say, "what's the difference between giving up 1 25-yard pass and giving up 5 5-yard passes? They end up the same anyways, it only results in more plays for the defense, which in turn, tires them out."

I will take the 5 5- yard passes every time. Gives the D more opportunities to make a play. Got to stop the big play first.

This is not an "act" defense. This is more a "react" defense, they keep the play in front of them and minimize yardage gains, so they're not going to get many passes thrown where they have a chance to pick it off. Your "act" defenses, like Baltimore swarm the ball and force turnovers, they take some chances.

Let's see.

We gave up Jenkins and used that draft pick on Godfrey.

We gave up low draft pick for Harris, and I believe signed him to a contract.

If its the safeties alone, and their talent level, and not the scheme, then that's cause for concern to me.

We gave up a cancer and got a rookie player for much less money.

Harris we gave up a 5th I think, and has played well in a more traditional SS role.

We do not have great safeties, we have good safeties, which makes our great corners, a little closer to the good mark. Couple that with inconsistant pass rush, and voila, you have what most call bad corners.

You show me an attacking D, and I will show you a really good Safety.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      I had started typing my post hours ago and didn’t finish it and just came back to finish it, posted it, then saw yours and saw we were pretty much saying the same thing - even the games that stick out to us most.  I don’t think a lot of people remember that SF playoff game, but I felt like I had just got mugged in broad daylight.  I remember them calling Mitchell for unnecessary roughness, and then I remember watching Boldin take a super late cheap shot, dead in front of the ref and then showing him watching the whole thing in replay…  the refs let them have a fuging field day and didn’t do jack poo, but if we so much as breathed the wrong way it was fuging 15 yards.  Each team playing under two completely different sets of rules.  poo hurt.  I was enraged.  I’ve never went back to watch either that game or SB50 and never will.  fuging robbery.

      I’ve said it a million times since, but it’s impossible to keep them from affecting the game.  In SB50, they literally took the game from us, and they did it early.  Cotchery’s no-catch?  The miraculous amount of times we converted for a first down only to have it suddenly called back make it a 3rd down and 15+ against the best defense in the league that specialized in rushing the passer and man coverage on the back end?  And you do that enough times, you kill the morale and confidence of the team you’re doing it against.  It’s telling the one team “you can do whatever with impunity” and the other “you can’t do whatever they’re allowed to do.”  It changes the aggression level.  It essentially neuters one team and allows the other to do whatever the fug they want.  Imagine you call the police for help and they get there and tell you to sit still while the other party beats the poo out of you and you can’t defend yourself.  That’s what the officials do.  There is no way to avoid them affecting the game.  And more often than not, it’s the most subjective calls they use to do so.  Even in SB50…  you saw the Broncos commit more egregious penalties than anything we did, and barely any of it was called.  Their OL was holding all fuging game and the refs did nothing.  We already had our work cut out for us against two future HOF edge rushers and the refs played to their advantage with that.  From what I remember, both Oher and Remmers were called for holding at various times and their hands were in the INSIDE of the defender.  It was garbage, but all by design. Also, if there is any video of it anywhere, go look at what the refs did against us back in 2013 against SF.  The fix was in there too.  They stepped in early and often and ensured we knew we were not allowed to play with the same aggression or intensity SF was.  It was disgusting as well. at this point, I hope Vince McMahon, errr, I mean Goodell just finally scripts us to win it, because this poo is not won via competition or off merit.

      You can go back to the New York Knicks somehow getting Patrick Ewing.  I saw a story where they place the New York Knick card in the freezer right before the drawing.  It was simple.  Show everyone the cards are undetectable to the human eye.  All they had to do was grab the coldest card. IMO ever since Goodell took over the NFL it has been fishy.  Patriots winning the SB after 9/11, New Orleans after Katrina and Peyton Manning's going away gift against us. The terrible calls during that game were blatantly one sided.  New England should have been stripped of their first 3 SB when they were caught spying on the other team in their SB wins.  I think the evidence against the Patriots was so damning Goodell felt it could ruin football and they brushed it under the table.   In the 2004 SB, How did we go from practically no yards in the first Quarter to setting a record in the 3rd Qtr.  Dan Henning changes the game plan.  IMO probably the greatest half time adjustment of all time.
