Did you watch the game? They kept attacking Carr.

Oscan had maybe a few short gaines on him. The catches he gave up, he was right there. Carr was getting dusted.

Maybe I watched something different. I saw two corners both get abused. You can argue which one looked better getting abused but from what I watched Scandrick got it more. It is what it is. I'm not gonna sit here and blame this guy or blame that guy. Sometimes you gotta chalk it up to the opponent and ODB is a MONSTER. I knew it when they drafted him and the only saving grace is that they have Eli as quarterback. But the guy is a monster. Its not like we got beat by Riley Cooper.

Carr got posturized by Odell Beckham, the rookie. Carr received 3rd degree burns from that one!

:laugh:

Proves once again that breaking the bank for top end FAs is never worth it. They really need to make a move at that position next year.

Teams usually double cover in those scenarios. Idk why we don't.

I don't know either. I sometimes wonder what our safeties are doing when our corners are on a island like that. To their credit they don't get beat much deep and I always wonder why. Like if i'm a OC i'm going to test our corners with no safety over the top.

I was excited when we first signed Carr, there were times in the past where he looked decent but I honestly expected so much more!

The last few seasons he has looked poor, I do think he looks depressed this season, my heart goes out to him with his loss.

However, the guy just does not look the same and is now a liability in coverage usually trailing receivers for big gains.

Scandrick looked poor as well tonight, even though the DL should take priority in the off season, we need some talented corners who can handle Beckham because he is not going anywhere.

Defense needs some Pass Rush, Lb's and Saftey/CB to take this thing to another level.

We've been talking about how an edge rusher is the top priority for next year, and to an extent it probably still is, but replacing Carr is shooting up pretty quickly.

I've been astonished since the off season that he wasn't asked to take a pay cut, and he certainly isn't playing like it's a contract year for him.

He'll be cut for sure next year or he'll be asked to take a massive pay cut.

Unfortunately we're stuck with Claiborne next year, but something's got to give with this secondary. When Scandrick is your best corner, you're in trouble.

Ideally you'd want Scandrick to be your #2 or #3 and Moore to be your #4.

At this point its BPA between CB and DE, but we really need both in the first two rounds. Hopefully things fall to us.

Unfortunately it looks like we need to add a starting cover corner opposite OScan this off season. I hate to spend the high draft pick on one but somehow I doubt we get lucky and find a quality CB like we did at MLB with Ro. I think we are all ready to move on from Carr. I don't think Mo will ever be more than a #3CB.
