I don’t think it’s necessarily fair to blame our corners, Wright in particular, for the poor performance on Sunday. If you give Drew Brees that much time, he will tear up Darelle Revis. He’s the most accurate QB in the game, and the Saints do such a good job of spreading out the field and have so many weapons that they are nearly impossible to defend when he has time to throw. Although we got abused on those pump fakes, we are just one of many teams that he has consistently done that to. However, he shouldn’t even be able to pump fake and throw deep on a 3 step drop. He should be looking up at GMC at that point. If the corners see a 3 step drop, they are going to assume the ball is coming out quick or the pressure is going to get there. That’s what is supposed to happen. They are going to try to make a play on the ball, as that is what they are supposed to do. So while it’s easy to point the finger at the secondary, at least half (although probably much more) of the blame belongs to the D-Line.

Wright has been pretty solid all season vs the pass and the run up to this game. Brees does that to guys, hence the 25 mil a year. It was the 3 man rush more than anything, thats the last guy you give a 3 man rush. They should of brought an extra guy more often than one short. This staff will get it sooner or later, they are getting better ,slowly

It’s not Dominik fault that the DL has freak injuries. Yes Dominik drafted the players, but he wasn’t the only one responsible. Crappy scouting departments and a head coach who didn’t know what he was doing kind of helped. This year with a good scouting and a head coach who knows what he wants and the draft improve. Dominik didn’t lose any power, he just trusted the wrong people with the information he was given. It happens.

Oh yeah Wright might have some coverage issues, but when we have a pass rush his coverage drastically improves. All cornerbacks have issues when covering a receiver for 10 seconds. The Giants had a 4th string CB starting one game and teams still couldn’t pass on them.

This takes me back to the Giants team that won the Super Bowl prior to their last one. That team had a garbage secondary but the front 4 compensated for their deficiencies. McCoy and Bennett were milk box material on Sunday! MISSING!

The pass rush must improve…. PERIOD. Then again, that’s why Boy-Band General Manager Mark Dominik spend four top 2 draft picks on D-lineman.

How many of them have played a full season? I’m curious.

@stevek

Cortland was going to cost us too much for his level of production. We’ll fix the secondary next year in the draft.

Wait…..the argument to help Dominik is to mention the terrible option of Myron Lewis?? Who do you think drafted him?

One way or the other, it’s on Dominik.

And, he should have cut ties with Talib. Once again, Dominik depended on the undependable. Fool me once…..how many times has Dominik gotten fooled by Talib?

Maybe if Duminik was better at drafting the Bucs wouldn’t have to overpay for CB’s.

I don’t believe there is anything wrong with our pass rush. You just don’t have one with 3 guys. Success in the NFL is all about making adjustments and our Staff seem to be having a lot of problems with it. I hope the learning curve is very short.

Exactly Justin, if you give Drew Brees all day he’s going to find open receivers, period. I actually think Wright has played pretty well.

Brees wasnt even knocked down in that game on Sunday. He hardly had to move his feet in the pocket. I dont care if its Deion Sanders and Darrelle Revis out there, he is going to make completions.

The lack of the rush was the major problem. Now I know there were breakdowns in communication on the back end, but in the end it would not have mattered because on some plays Brees could have literally stood there for 10 seconds. You cannot cover for that amount of time. Physically impossible to do it.
