I still blame the pressure for a lot of the problems with the secondary. On that TD pass that McCourty gave up in the back of the endzone was clearly the lack of a pass rush fault because there is only so long you can cover guy in the endzone.

Talk about a tale of two cities. Normally when there are polar opposite opinions on a subject, the middle ground is safe. Not the case here though. If this were Ellis Hobbs who played like this through two games and was being targeted like McCourty is being targeted, most would be trying to run him out of town.
Of course, that being said, he's a second year player so patience is obviously due.
