I would love to hear something on how Pat Watkins is doing. I haven't heard his name yet in camp. Just wondering because I think he can be something pretty good for us.

it's hard to tell since the drills right now heavily favors the O, w/ the no-blitzing and all

One thing to keep in mind is that the QB is off limits. In effect, he actually has an extra second or so to complete a pass while the rush "holds up" on a would be sack.

I'm not saying that ALL of these passes being completed are of this nature, but you have to consider the fact that these defensive rushers are taking things down a notch once they get within a certain distance of the QB.

I'm with you guys, would love to hear more, but it is early folks.

All I know is T.O. is burning EVERYONE on the deep route, especially Anthony Henry.

I think he is on a mission, but I digress

wait for the games people...

I know this is a hard concept for some here to grasp, but we do have good players on both sides of the ball...just because a WR catches a ball on one of our CB's doesnt mean they cant cover a lick...our WR's and TE's are really good...and just because one of our DB's knocks a ball down doesnt mean a WR is too old or dogging it...we have guys who can cover

Usually, any news you will ever hear about a secondary is usually bad, so it is actually good to not hear much about them. I mean all we hear is Henry is toast, hardly good news, lol. A pass deflected just doesn't make news.

This is truth.

Very few of the people watching these things, are astute enough to watch a play, and notice that while Glenn nabbed a 20 yard post on Henry, Newman was inside TO's jersey on the other side.

So you're not going to hear when the secondary did something good, unless it's a great PD or INT. It's nothing to worry about.

We need to see a major improvement over last years 24th ranking.

gee, you think having an adequate pass rush for a change might make a difference?

yeah I do...more bad passes= more ints

when QB's dont have 8-10-12 seconds to stand there and make a perfect throw every time, thats what happens

don't bother with the uneducated one: his obsession with Henry is now spilling over to all our D backs.
