How bad is the Panthers secondary? Well, this will tell you.

If you can force a qb to make that throw then just tip your cap. 

Better players could have made a play on the ball sure but I'll take my chances on that.

Nothing helps more than playing time. This season is over. May as well get them as many reps as possible for next year. 

I thought we still had a chance..LOL..I mean Falcons lost yesterday..we only 3 games behind in the NFC South according to a post I saw..

Believe it or not, I'm still trying to be optimistic even though I know our odds are awful right now..

I hear you. I probably will be optimistic next week. Need some time to mourn.

This is why Byrd and Cash need to be active on gamedays.

Looked like the play action sucked up all the linebackers just a little bit which allows Brees to find the receiver over the middle.

I agree that the secondary needs a TON of work and probably more talent, but our experienced secondary from last year, including Josh Norman, allowed NO to score 38.  We need better pass rushers and DBs.

I have a new appreciation for our 2013 secondary. Where is Melvin White when you need him. 

Hes a free agent!

Bradberry and McClain should be back. They are better than anyone available. 

Honestly though, is Melvin White not better than Sanchez? Or is Lou Young not better than Sanchez? Please? Maybe?

While the Carolina Panthers pass rush had been a problem all season, the secondary has not helped at all. 

Here is what they mean when they say the defensive line needs at least a NFL caliber secondary to get pressure. 

Exhibit A

Drew Brees drops back for a pass during the first drive of the game. Look at the number of Saints players around Brees. 

1. Drew Brees

2. Blocking Charles Johnson (to his credit, getting at least some push)

3. Blocking Star Lotulelei 

5 and 6 Blocking KK Short 

7 and 8 discussing dinner plans

9 blocking Kony Ealy

Nine. Nine players in this image, meaning there are only two Saints receivers running down field. Because the Panthers are bringing only 4 defensive linemen for pressure, that leaves SEVEN Panthers defenders to cover TWO Saints receivers. 

The result?

The receiver gets in front of Zack Sanchez and Kurt Coleman for the easy reception. 

It just does not get much worse than this. 

 

 

Live by the zone against bad QBs.

Die by the zone against good-to-HoF QBs that will pick your ass apart.

Anyone think that retaining Coleman as our backfield veteran might have been a mistake?
