BatteredFanSyndrome Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 I'm sold on Goldson stinking up the joint. For whatever reason I was expecting Jeron Johnson to be a contributor as well. Perhaps it takes time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daanie Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 A lot of whiffs and missed tackles in the secondary... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacon Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 The answer to the title is a resounding NO. That being said, it can't be much worse than last year. Breeland has beast mode capabilities. That's all I've got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyHolt Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 We better dialup the aggressiveness or our DBs will get torched like this all year. Don't let anyone get behind you leads to many missed tackles flying up out of control Hopefully its our preseason motto only. It's so simple. Tight man help over the top, attack the QB. **** the Carlos Cushion all game long, our favorite the bend don't break. Let the guys be aggressive from the snap and they have a chance. Like the back half of 2012. Our porous DBs did just fine led by Madieu Williams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhead36 Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 I'll wait to see how aggressively the front seven plays first. No secondary can cover for 4+ seconds in today's NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSO Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Well, if preseason is any indication (it's not), Barry definitely likes to blitz on obvious passing downs. The theme has been force the QB to get rid of the ball quick, come up and make the tackle. Obviously, it hasn't been good when the tackle is missed, like we saw with Goldson and Steve Smith (not the TD play, there was one on 3rd and 8 or something where Steve catches the crosser and Goldson has the angle on him and misses).

Sounds a bit like Haslett's gameplan vs the Cowboys. BTW, I'm down on Amerson like everyone else, but I'd be curious to see him against a rangier type of wr (as opposed to a great route runner with burst). I know it's been talked to death, but I also have to wonder if he'd be a better fit as a safety - more room to operate, can eye the qb more, doesn't have to worry about press, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 I'd rather have the LFC back 4 playing secondary True 'dat. Which says it all. . It's obviously passed now, but I'd of MUCH rather followed Scherff last April with Tartt or Rowe for safety or a Darby for corner. I'd even of been tempted to move back up for limited cost to snag Jones from Dallas. (Hate, hate HATE that they have him. .). Instead we chose to take a 43, hand in the dirt run stuffing end in the hope that we can convert him to an OLB in a 34. Trust in Mac but that ones a perennial head scratcher until such time as he proves different. Corner and safety, both slots, has to be a MAJOR priority next offseason. Hail.

Amerson is way more successful against bigger body WRs. He struggles against the speedier, change direction on a dime guys like Steve Smith. Heck, against the Ravens, he did fine against every one of their WRs except Steve Smith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theoldline Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Still think we have a bottom 1/4 secondary in football. It might be better than last year, but that's basically by default. It'll be all about the front 7 taking the pressure off of them. That being said, I expect plenty of games like Mike Evans had last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhead36 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 They played their butts off. I'd play more man press though. I can't stand the soft crap underneath. Seems like our CBs are more comfortable when they're in guys faces. Breeland in particular. Fewell is a good secondary coach. 2nd best coach on the staff after Callahan.

Vanguard Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Hats off to them but yes the coaches need to stop being so soft and start being more aggressive!!!!! I like press coverage myself.

skinny21 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Why did we have so much trouble stopping the run, though?They ran wide and our DTs got sealed inside. Don't know about the rest of the linebackers, but I noticed Murphy couldn't get off his blocks to save his life. Someone mentioned the gaps on the outside were just too wide to cover. Freeman's also a great fit there - quick cuts, decisive, fast enough to get through the gaps untouched. Then of course, our D was on the field far more than usual and looked gassed. Add to all that we seemed to play a bunch of nickel and didn't bring a safety into the box (trying to protect our corners). All in all, a recipe for disaster.I like press coverage myself. Rough em up for about five yards and give the line more time to get pressure.I do to, but it doesn't really seem to fit Barry's philosophy (keeping everything in front of the D). Think he needs to turn to it a bit more when teams are executing the quick strikes and moving the chains (like at NYG) as a change up. I do think as the D gets more comfortable he'll throw more wrinkles in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
