This is the same secondary, though, that held Larry Fitzgerald to one catch and the entire Arizona passing game to 140 yards.
I'm not saying that they're spectacular, but I don't think they're anywhere near as bad as this game made them look.
theyre definitely not, especially given fitzgerald went OFF against what many consider to be a very good eagles defense.
the problem is that the pats secondary is still vulnerable to BIG plays. i give them credit for holding up early, but eventually started to get burned...badly.
arrington in general gets burned alot...mccourty is susceptible at times, he just looked worse last night than he usually does (torrey smith is a fast receiver). i think hes perfectly fine for the most part, but would probably be a much better #2 than #1. people saying hes terrible havent watched the entirety of games apparently.
they also got burned for big plays in tennessee...but played better overall. ray rice had more to do with giving up big plays than anything...could not contain him at all.
