Richard Marshall looked lost, and Gamble was not on his game

[top dawg]

I don't know what happened. Even though I know that they weren't perfect, Martin and Godfey looked better than the aged veterans. Marshall, serious, didn't look like he knew what the hell was going on half the time, and Gamble was not a shut-down corner today, missing tackles. I am going to give Gamble the benefit of the doubt (and, Marshall, too, I guess), but damn!

Coach will get them together.

Marshall, Gamble and Munnerlyn were all pathetically bad today. The good news is that we all know that they can do much better than they did today. I doubt it will be a recurring problem.

Yea, I'm not really worried about Gamble or Marshall. You have a bad game every once in awhile, and today both of them were off. Munnerlyn also had a few hiccups. I was real disappointed in Godfrey, though. Had some big hits, and a nice pick, but took some awful angles to the ball, and was the cause of some of the deep plays thrown against us. The secondary will get back on track though, not too concerned about the D.

It's hard to tell if it's them or Godfrey. To me Godfrey looked out of position on every big play in the first 3 quarters. And no, the INTs don't make up for it, they were handed to him.

Yup. I noticed this too.

First off, Gamble has NEVER been a shut down corner and we have very very very rarely asked him to be. He is a GOOD corner and can be very good, however he has always had lapses of concentration and given up big plays.

Anyway, I agree with the OP. However I think it was more they were trying to play incredibly tight thinking our pass rush would get there, which it didn't.

Munnerlyn made one mistake on the TD pass, but up till then had a couple of good plays. Marshall got abused regularly, but at least had the smarts to take the PI rather than the TD. Gamble was the better of the three.

However as others have alluded to, there were at least two occassions where they appeared to release the receiver to the safety and no one was there to help them. so I think the entire secondary got exposed today.

The flip side is we got no where near Manning today after our initial couple of pressures. Compare that to them where they were routinely abusing Kalil and the guards. Why can't we have intelligent interior line play like they were doing?!

Capt looked good to me.

DID you watch the game?????? Godfrey was F*cking horrible! i mean downright poo! He blew two coverages on there first TD drive, and on Bradshaws long run he was looking right at him and didn't react... he played like he was high!

[Mother Grabber]

Captain was the only who looked like he was at least in the right place. Martin was doing his best Gamble imitation, by being a step or two behind the play and reaching out as the receiver catches the ball.

[nosuchthingasapanther]

the problem with the secondary was all godfrey.

[Proudiddy]

I wanted to post awhile back, but I've kind of come to the conclusion that despite him being one of our favorite players b/c he's an underdog, that Captain is not going to be much more than a press coverage/run support corner. His size is a huge disadvantage, as Nicks demonstrated.

And not sugar coating anything, Marshall and Godfrey looked like sh*t. Gamble was just a slight step above sh*t, whatever that is.

Horrible.
