You have every right to be complaining. A lot of posters claim that this coaching staff does not value the safety position and apparently you all are correct. They have had multiple opportunities to draft a starting safety in this draft and have passed every time. An argument can be made that a strong pass rush can compensate for any deficiencies in the secondary. However, when the WR is wide open after the snap, the QB don't need to hold on to the ball for more than 2 seconds, making the pass rush pretty much irrelevant. These two areas of defense must complement each other in order to be successful. And another thing.....I don't care what defensive scheme you are running (3-4, 4-3, man, zone), if its 3rd and 3 and the DBs are playing 10 yards off the line of scrimmage, you are going to have a high rate of failure regardless of the quality of your personnel. This idiotic philosophy has got to change.

I just don't understand it. Our division rivals have had our defense's number the last few years and a big part of that is the lack of a decent FS. We play our CBs with a big cushion because we have no deep help and teams dink and dunk us to death, then we struggle on third and long because... we have no deep help.

your argument for why a pass rush doesnt help doesn't make sense about a safety

 

a CB, sure...  But a wide receiver isnt going to be wide open after two seconds because of a saftey 

If you have help over the top you don't need to be playing CBs 10 yards off the LOS.

I was referring to the secondary in general and safety is our weakest link. Does that make sense to you? And maybe the CB playing 10 yards off the LOS is because of lack of talent at safety. Don't understand why that does not make sense to you.

We also don’t have a nickel CB. Gaulden will get roasted as bad as Captain. He’s the least athletic DB in last year’s draft and we think he’ll hang with the quick slot WRs? We started the draft with FS and nickel as probably the biggest actual holes maybe aside from LG and right now we still sort of have holes at all 3. Williams May slide in to LG, but what if Little really isn’t ready (quite possible)? Van Roten, Gaulden and Colin Jones are still starters right now.

Also, we have multiple backups to Cam now but our offensive cogs (CMC, Samuel and Moore) have no one behind them that’s even close.

Love Burns and Miller, but we missed out on a lot.

Once I saw CGJ go to the Saints early today, I gave up. That cherry on top of utter incompetence from yesterday just turned me off to anything left.

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      KC has a very good defense this year. It is 5th overall. Yes, still worse than last year, but their offense is considerably worse. Their passing D may be their "weakness" but they still allow fewer than 20 ppg. BY completed several deep passes yesterday, and he was able to threaten downfield in ways he didn't seem capable of before the benching. I'm not necessarily worried about his ability to connect deep anymore. What to me was impressive was that he did all this without a run game. We used the pass to set up what little running success we had. Wild.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Solid and fair assessment.   I will say, one of the big things I noticed yesterday was that he wasn't shy to step up into the pocket in the face of pressure.  He's trusting the IOL.  And they took care of Chris Jones yesterday.  We had clean pockets but also good success rate vs. pressure which just hasn't been the case with Bryce.   If he has more confidence the OL gets it done and he can navigate and step up for throws, that's huge.  It's one of the biggest things that's held him back.  He was previously bailing quickly and just too easily throwing away or making dead plays.     He was finding his 2nd to 3rd reads within structure/without bailing in the pocket.  That was nice to see, as much concern I have with him.  And the overall limitations will always be there. Time to back it up this week against the Bucs.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      By 45catfan · Posted

      Suddenly the Cowgirls look like our best chance for a win remaining. I think the Bucs are playing better than the Falcons of late.  Our lone game versus the dirty birds is in the ATL where we always struggle.  The Cardinals are marginally better than I thought they would be. We are not beating the Eagles, they are starting to roll. I'm saying two at most, next week at home versus the Bucs and the Cowgirls.
