Dominant Secondary

[csx]

Unfortunately and logically, if they're having to make tackles, that means they've likely allowed the receiver to catch the ball.....

Thats going to happen in football.

[Jackofalltrades]

We're actually tied for last in the league for completion percentage allowed. McD spoke to that recently saying he didn't care. If they have to resort to dinking and dunking then they're doing their jobs.

I'm fine with keeping everything in front of you.

that is by design...

 

why intentionally allow for that to be the play for the opponent to make.  It hurts when we face teams that actually want to do it....

[philp]

key word: SECONDARY  

 

Godfrey had already maxed out.  Rivera raved about his leadership skills.  that's important, but, he was too streaky.  And naka.....

[PhillyB]

can't wait to see what we look like with a legitimately awesome cornerback in the secondary.

 

also i hope we keep dialing up blitzes. that poo was fun to watch last week

i laughed when i read that as well, but thinking about it...i don't know. i mean i don't consider them dominant, but i sure don't consider them the weakness i thought they would be heading into the season.

 

the font 6/7 makes it easy on them, but i think they are starting to hold their own. it took some shuffling, a couple injuries, and one doghouse to make it happen, but i think they are bordering on respectable. they keep everything in front of them and don't give up much in the way of big plays, if any at all. and teams definitely aren't scoring a whole lot on them. i mean only 4 passing TDs in 5 games? not too shabby.

 

i think this whole defense is gelling pretty well and they all seem to be handling their jobs well.

Figures lie, liars figure.

Not sure if serious. Maybe it's just a coincidence, but our secondary started playing a lot better when he went out and Mitchell slid over to FS.

PFF wasn't saying he was the worst safety in the league for no reason

Although, its nice to get some praise, but to praise those two alone is not enough....

[L-TownCat]

I think it's a product of design.

Strengths: front 7

Weakness: corners

Solution: use safeties to prevent deep pass and run support, keep passes short and in front allowing our strengths to turn around and get to the ball.

Der Frank, you see, der. . .when the quarterback throws the ball to a receiver in the end zone and the received catches it der that there . . . der . . that there is a touchdown.

Lol its sad if you laugh at your own team getting praise

 

But Thomas and Munnerlyn elite lol

Nope you're right godfrey just isnt that good hes a little below average imo

[Goondal]

Our team is finally ranked top five by someone at something and it is the secondary?  Not something I ever expected.
