Each week begin to think more and more that our pass defense woes are scheme and DL not getting to the QB. Not talent at DB.

I noticed that Tre Jackson hasn't played in the last two games. Is he hurt? Also, Braynon Edwards didn't play. Was he re-injured?
Re: 3 defenders grade high in PFF's weekly grading
I think both corners are serious competitors. They are both very good at coverage. 17 is an outstanding tackler also - one of the best on the team.
Both safeties are well below average in coverage but both are decent at run stopping.
Overall an above average secondary, IMO.
But as I mentioned in a prior post, Richard Sherman couldn't cover Pope Francis with some of the time we have given the QBs.
I think next year 19 moves into 17's spot and does a decent job. Maybe not quite as good, but I like what I see. We'll be OK.
CORRECTION 11 moves to starting corner. But I like 19 when he's in the game also.

Kendall Ardoin made the AAC list on offense. I think he was the one that made the block on Banks' TD run.

The knock on Lewis this year was that he found himself out if position or would fail yo turn around to play the ball. I like 19 (if that's Shenall) because of his height and he's a pretty good tackler. He pulled up on a route that allowed a big catch in the Cincinatti game. Had he stayed with his man he likely has a pick. But he also made an open field tackle to stop a fourth down try in that same game.1401973 wrote:I think both corners are serious competitors.

The top 3 (all graded 90+) are Greenies. Nobody else reached 90.

I haven't noticed, but I will be looking. Are you talking about CB or Safeties?windywave wrote:That doesn't explain failure to wrap upPoseidon wrote:Each week begin to think more and more that our pass defense woes are scheme and DL not getting to the QB. Not talent at DB.
edit: I assume that CBs these days are going not going to be good tacklers, but that is sacrificed for good coverage ability. Maybe I just have too low expectations.

Re: 3 defenders grade high in PFF's weekly grading
I blame that on The NFL. At least for awhile there it was much more highlight reel worthy to put a big hit on someone so you’d see cover DBs doing just that. No wrap ups involved. I seldom see DBs wrap up at the HS level.Poseidon wrote:I haven't noticed, but I will be looking.

Re: 3 defenders grade high in PFF's weekly grading
I agree. The minimization of pads hasn't helped either IMO. DBs go low or use their helmets way too often because there shoulders aren't padded to tackle hard at the torso area.TUPF wrote:I blame that on The NFL.
