I didnt get that either. Igo just posted the snap counts and Captain was only in for 11 plays.. seems so strange

Captain was getting getting his ass handed to him when he was in so they tried to stop the bleeding.  Too bad Cam kept ripping the bandage off.

To be fair, Captain was largely terrible in his 11 snaps so there's that to consider as well. 

i think everyone was largely terrible.. but when Michael Thomas is outrunning our LBs all over the field, thats not a good look

We picked Shaq Thompson over Landon Collins

 

LOL

Another luxury pick gone wrong.

So far not great. 

Anyone else notice how much he was out of position yesterday? Big reason the Saints were able to run so well. He took himself out of entire plays with over pursuit. 

Same with Luke ,TD & rest of the defense that was fuging terrible game by them.

[Saca312]

Yeah even Kuechly was off yesterday. It was an all around bad performance.

Not sure what Wilks expected by making linebackers cover slot receivers. Michael Thomas had a field day.

Makes zero sense. If there's any team you don't use 3 LBers against it's the Aints. Shaq should've played more against the Bills and Niners and less yesterday. Instead we did the complete opposite.

You do realize we played the same exact defense we played against the Titans that got us gashed. Base 4-3. 

Against a spread team.

Wilks does deserve a lot of blame. Got to remember he's a rookie DC, and us not sending in many nickel packages to counter was criminal. 

I expect Wilks to learn, but his personnel groups were not the best.

It wasn't the personnel more so tha players not being attentive & missing simple assignments or tackles

^^^This, so much this.  Rookie DC got schooled by a veteran OC while a veteran DC stood by stoically and watched.

Base 4-3 against a passing offense like the Saints pretty much hurt our linebackers. They easily put in guys like Kamara and Michael Thomas against a linebacker out there instead of having 5-2 or some help with guys with the speed to catch up.

 

[Toker Smurf]

And why was he covering Thomas, down the field?

[csx]

All of the LBs looked bad. So yes, he did too.

No it was more of playing zone instead of man. We should let LBs & CBs play man and leave the Safetys in zone for the deep threat.
