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

You know what's funny, this pass defense is built to "not get beat" but we're pretty average at stopping the big play compared to the rest of the league. And we've pretty much always been that way as long as this defense has been installed.

I think that too, some of that definitely has to do with not tackling all of a sudden.

It appears to me that they started wanting to go for the big hit instead of tackling properly.

Must be an sub conscious thing between the defense; it's well known they all push each other and have great competitiveness, but it may be unknowingly causing them to do things they feel are extra or better than each other.

Like trying to one up a hit or a play someone else made.

Then again it could have just been something added to the defense after the bye that has everyone garfunkled.

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.

Exhibit A: The Baltimore Raven Defense & Ed Reed.

At least we have a terrific LB corps.

      He can’t even learn to run routes. No chance in hell he can do both that and pick up blocking schemes

      Well he had essentially a 70% completion rate for almost three thousand yards.  Biggest issues were awkward and inconsistent release.  I wouldn't call arm strength bad, but not great.

      I see him being better and most of that is a few downfield passes that were seemingly non existent.    But it is what is around him that has dictated the trajectory more than the quarterbacking. He is game manager level and unable to dictate to defenses.  And even if I am wrong and he is the reason we ‘upwarded’, we are bumping our heads on the ceiling and only making meager gains. If it is an incline it is awfully shallow degree wise. Like a finance graph that tracks your progress and hovers around the rate of inflation. Barely breaking even.  Is that where you want your money?  We make up these deadlines expectations and generally he does the minimum of what he needs to do to hang around.    It does not encourage me to believe that when we get into a game against a good run d that we cannot break down with our run game, to believe that we can pivot to the air and successfully counter their strategy.  But they run it back again. Of course I am gunshy of a repeat of the same thing we have watched for three years.    oh, and yes his durability is his most impressive positive for my money. I fear the other shoe dropping on that and the contractual consequences that will follow.   Last  of all, too late to edit my mistake here but would like to acknowledge it: the last three years has done very little to convince me that I was not wrong in not wanting him. One too many “not”s.
