Who is the last "very good" player this team had in the defensive secondary, in your opinion? If you're not counting Meriweather, you have to go back to the days of Harrison/Samuel/Hobbs/Sanders to see any "very good player" in this team's back 4.
Chung is a very good player, McCourty is a also a very good player, they are not in the league of the best, but they are very good in my opinion.
I am watching other teams bring pressure once in a while and I can watch a whole game of our defense and not once can you see anything resembling a blitz. Flacco is known to struggle against blitzes, yet what do Patricia do? Nothing resembling blitzes. If you can be creative with your pressure, you can hide any perceived deficiencies in the secondary.
BB is still so worried about big plays against us that I believe it has inculcated fear into our DBs not to look for the ball but rather stop a huge play from leading to a TD. They absolutely risked nothing, yet we die by the slow death.
I don't get it really, we don't send the pressure, yet get burnt by the deep balls, so what will really be the difference if we send house at the other QB for once?
All these I attribute to coaching and BB is who I hold this against. Not bashing BB at all, I have too much respect for him, I just feel he needs help from someone who has a good pulse on today's NFL.
