The Official B!tch about the secondary/pass coverage thread

[randomk1]

And to think how much we have spent on the secondary. For this end result.

So many draft picks.

time to get new coaches, boyer has been with the team for 4 or 5 years and has nothing to show for in the secondary performance.

This seems to be fact: every team we play tosses up long pop-ups on 3rd down and one of two things happens. Either a PI call or a completion. Honestly, I'm not being facetious here, but if I were playing against the Pats, I'd throw every, single down because you know one or the other is going to occur. That final TD was given up while we were in a semi-prevent defense. Unbelievable. But, at least as large a problem is the fact that with a lead, our offense simply can't close out. I shudder to think what our record would be if it weren't for the fumbles caused by our front 7.

Anyone that says the secondary is good, or even decent, is just living in denial.

However, Belichick is ALSO living in denial, so I guess it's not that bad. I wish I was blissfully ignorant to how bad the problem was as so many people inside and outside of Gillette are.

I think the only passes Wilson missed all day were the ones he over or under threw. Tavon Wilson had one beautiful pass he batted down. Besides that, it was a friggin joke.

You get PIs and don't turn around for the ball when you are basically beaten on a play and playing catchup. That's fine and happens even to the best when you are playing 1 on 1 man, but this isn't whats happening for the most part.

The problem is, you shouldn't be beaten long in a prevent D or a Dime. This isn't a question of athleticism, its a question of coaching. Our safeties are taking insanely bad angles, and thats coachable.

An example of what its supposed to look like is the Tavon Wilson bat down pass. Easy! Its not even a question of athleticism, height or ball skills. He was in the proper position and was able to make the simple play.

Our DBs practice against midget slot guys and a possession receiver that falls down after the catch. ZERO repetitions verses deep threats.
They triple team Vincent Jackson last year and he still torched them. Baltimore's Smith torched them....Today it was Rice. It's the most confused group I've ever seen and one thing is certain....These players regress. It's coaching and scheme.

If we had one stud back in the secondary we may have one a few more SB'S.

We all know this SO.. why hasn't BB addressed this?

There is no logical reason I can think of.

It seems like i finally get redemtion since 2006 where i said this defense cost this team 3 superbowls ya that's right 3 superbowls...I got banned and criticized for my comments,well guys the chickens have come home to roost..

Brady aint getting any better,he is on the downside of his career if the defense does not get better forget another superbowl...IMO

Because of his ego. There is no other reason that I can think of
