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

We don't have safeties to a) blitz often, B) jam at the line, or c) play a lock down man style D.

Sorry, its not the corners, it's the safeties.

I never thought about it that way. Good point. While Godfry is playing absolutly terrific for a strating rookie, he still has a bit to learn. Harris can be good, but he is more of a hard hitter. I don't know why they don't use Harris on more blitzes. Imagine him knocking the hell outta Warner this weekend. That would be nice.

Thats why we can't afford to play physical on the WR's.

Neither of our S's can cover well. Usually you have a FS and a SS, and while both need to be able to cover, the FS is normally the smaller better cover S.

We need to be able to have Marshall out there most of the game, and hope that he matches up well with Breaston.

Yes, I hope Marshall matches up well to. while he can really make heads up plays that can possibly lead to points, he can get burned badly in coverage. Hopefully Godfry can support the CB's in their coverage on Sat.

Well hopefully Pep can get his game on and get to Warner before he can throw the ball. Warner has a tremendous release. This game will be give and take between the secondary and pass rush. If the secondary can lock up their man for at least one second and a half, it will force Warner to hang on to the ball and give Pep and the rest of the line time to get to Warner.

Like I said, it will all be a game of give and take.

Sometimes I say, "what's the difference between giving up 1 25-yard pass and giving up 5 5-yard passes? They end up the same anyways, it only results in more plays for the defense, which in turn, tires them out."

I will take the 5 5- yard passes every time. Gives the D more opportunities to make a play. Got to stop the big play first.

This is not an "act" defense. This is more a "react" defense, they keep the play in front of them and minimize yardage gains, so they're not going to get many passes thrown where they have a chance to pick it off. Your "act" defenses, like Baltimore swarm the ball and force turnovers, they take some chances.

Let's see.

We gave up Jenkins and used that draft pick on Godfrey.

We gave up low draft pick for Harris, and I believe signed him to a contract.

If its the safeties alone, and their talent level, and not the scheme, then that's cause for concern to me.

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.

thing is as soon as they go into man coverage and get beat a couple of times people will be screaming for trgo to go back to zone. damned if you do, damned if you don't. as long as we keep winning stick with what has been working.

      Edge Rushers

      By mrcompletely11 · Posted

      Super raw, not sure he is worth a top 10 pick.  Primary a pass rusher.  A bit like Burns, very fast athletic but doesnt always follow the play.  His highlights look good but when you watch him play you can see he is just raw and needs to develop

      Personally, I am not sold on Bryce yet--and I do not think anyone is saying they are, but I don't think Ward is on table when we draft anyway.  Not even sure if I would rather have him than one of the later QBs.  I see a lot of potential in Allar, Nussmeire, Rourke, and even Hamilton from Ohio State--Milroe is intriguing, but I am not sure he is an NFL QB.  Ewers is that sleeper who falls and becomes a solid starter. I think that we sign a veteran who has played and we draft one of these project QBs. To your point:  With that in mind, I think you have to take QB off the table in round 1, and if Bryce can string 4-5 games like KC together, we still need to draft a QB in round three or so---I really think Rourke is a great fit for this offense--he is accurate and gets the ball out quickly---he impressed me vs OSU.   Reason?  I think we may have a tough decision to make about Bryce in 2 years--will he be worth $60m?  That decision is a lot easier if you have been grooming a backup for 2 years who can play. In round 1: I am hoping for PSU's edge Abdul Carter In round 2:  I would like to see us grab a DT who can rush the passer.  Walter Nolen of Ole Miss is versatile and a bit raw. I think he could be an excellent complement to Brown. In round 3:  I would love ILB Danny Stutsman from Oklahoma.  He is a beast. With 11 picks, I would package our 4th rounders to move up into the third round and take a QB.  At the moment, I think Rourke is trending upward and he has the skills Canales seems to want in a QB.  Quick processor, quick release. I would use the fifth rounders on OL.  I know that I left out WR--however, we are getting Thielen back, XL will be improved, Coker will be improved, and Moore has been surprisingly good.  Sanders (TE) has been more than expected in the passing game.  I think we need D more than WR, and maybe we can get a veteran WR to sign or find a hidden gem late.

      Wouldn't be surprised if he starts a couple Jets games this year with the way the Rodgers thing is going. Giants fans are pissed they didn't keep him lol. He might actually have a little bit of a market.
