Is our secondary really that good that they don't need a pass rush..

What's it going to take for people to finally give our secondary some credit? They've been highly ranked for the past two seasons. They don't give up a lot of big plays. They cover well and cause turnovers. Gamble, Marshall, Munnerlyn, Godfrey and Martin are a pretty darn good group.

Not saying they aren't though I'm not exactly the president of Marshall's fan club (or Godfrey's, for that matter).

But seriously, every secondary needs at least some pass rush to be effective. Put Darrelle Revis and Antonio Cromartie out there with no pass pressure and see if their production doesn't decline. I can pretty much guarantee you that while they may still be good, they'll suffer.

I really hate to break it to you guys, because your secondary is good ...

But your gaudy defensive passing statistics are terribly inflated by that Chicago game, a game where Collins was 6-16 for 32 yards and 4 INT's, and you still lost 23-6?

Without that, you're giving up 57.2% completions an 8 TD to 6 INT ratio, and 76.5 QB rating ...

That makes your passing defense about on PAR with ours ....

In the Panthers past four games against Cincinnati, New Orleans, Chicago and San Francisco, they have allowed an average of just 179 passing yards with three touchdowns and seven interceptions.

Nah, we are playing better than the Rams in that aspect.

I told you what we have done in the last 4. That is recent. That is what matters heading into games.

Take out the Bears game from the last 4.....and we still are allowing an average of less than 200 passing yards, 3TDs to 4 INTs. Your point?

Roughly every QB plays the same against us ... fairly mediocre numbers ....

To further crap on your parade:

Chicago has 29 passing yards while still kicking your ass ...

Take that away ...

You are giving up 230 YPG to the other three teams ...

I know that Bradford has never even hit a 90 QB rating.....and the majority of his games have been against teams that rank in the bottom half in pass defense.

if it makes you feel better about your chances to cherry pick games out....so be it. Carolina under Meeks has consistantly been a top unit against the pass.

Love your logic....throw out the good games that the Panthers played and they are about the same as the Rams.

Well, throw out the best Rams game and they are worse than us.

Rams fan actually thinking they are a good team....priceless.

Cool. Just an FYI. Jimmy Clausen ain't playing and Steve Smith will also be on the field.

the only thing the Chicago game shows you is that a rookie QB and a cast of all rookie WRs couldn't win despite a defense dominating. You don't get to face that all rookie squad.

Didn't Anderson almost put up 300 yards on the Rams, while Shaun Hill had a 220+ yard, 3 TD game? I'm not sure the Rams defense would have held the lowly backup qb of the Bears to 200 yards, let alone 29 yards.

    • Don't take this personal, but anyone who watches pregame or game broadcast on any of the four major networks & can't point out a dozen "experts" that Luke would do a better job than, is just not paying attention. IMO
    • overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.
    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
