Comments on: Secondary Schemes Need To Be Reassessed

I think one thing that would help the secondary is a more thoughtout blitz package, we either have a jail house blitz or rush 3 men. I have yet to see a delay LB blitz, rusher walk up to the line and dare to be stopped, doesn’t usually work in the NFL, things need to be disguised. Another reason we look terrible against the pass is because no one runs on us…therefore they throw 40-60 passes, some are bound to get completed, in our zone coverage the LB’s are a bit to deep leaving a huge hole underneath, while we make tackles most times it’s those few times that the tackle is missed ends up being first downs.
could go on all day but this is enough for now.

Man please get rid of Lewis I can’t even make em better on madden. I thought Wright would do better but he is horrible just as well. we need ta be in Jerry jones ear-hole trying to get him to release scandrick so we can sign him or something cuz this is an atrocity s/o to the front seven and the safeties though Johnson and bigger s for stepping up but the other corners I have absolutely no faith in. Move ronde back to corner hell and start black he’s playing fairly well to.

@George,
When you get cut by the Raiders & the Chiefs, you’re not an upgrade for anyone!

@jmoney
I actually like Gorrer. Not saying he’s a shutdown guy but ravens fans liked him and were surprised to see him go. He played well the few snaps he had at nickel for them. It will be interesting to see if he gets worked in or not. My guess is he will, everyone else is getting a shot, might as well get him on the field and see what he’s got. Like you said, can’t be worse than how Lewis is performing.

@Lev

I thought the same thing for awhile but it wouldn’t actually help. We aren’t going to be putting Ronde on the outside either. He’s a nickel at best right now. We need guys that can cover #1 receivers and Ronde isn’t the answer there.

I think Barber is going to move back to corner and Ahmad Black will be our starting free safety. It makes sense….

Yeah safety isn’t the issue. Heck half the time Sheridan only leaves one safety deep to cover the whole field. That’s why all of these deep passes are getting completed on us. Sheridan seems to think there’s such a thing as Wright or Biggers island and doesn’t give them any safety help at all. That approach works against bad teams with bad QBs and average wideouts.

Can’t wait to see Sheridan throw Wright and Biggers out on islands alone against Roddy White and Julio Jones with Ryan throwing the ball. Atlanta is probably salivating while watching Sheridans defensive scheme. We have to help these guys out. They are the weakest links on the team and there are offenses that will exploit them without mercy. I understand that we have to blitz to get pressure some games because the d line is inconsistent but it won’t matter if the qb can just launch a 30 yard bomb down the sideline in one n one coverage against those two.

Now I actually like the Talib move but there is n doubt that it hurt. Even though he was struggling this year as well, he was somewhat respectable. Wright and Lewis have been laugable in coverage and Biggers is serviceable at least in my opinion. Stop expecting Biggers to be Revis and we can make due with him for the rest of the season at least. Again Johnson is playing well but I wouldn’t want him on top tier wideouts.

It’s jot an easy job for Sheridan but we have at least moderate talent on defense. He needs to find a way to make it work and field a respectable defense or at the end of the year he needs to be replaced with someone that can.

Im sorry Robert, I respect your opinion but you can not be serious about being glad Biggers is a starter. I can’t see him as a starting cb on any other team. Maybe not even a nickel

I think next year pass defense will be drastically better. I really do not see any improvement coming anytime soon. We will not make any big splashes next year in free agency, but the a healthy secondary with some draft picks will help.
