I am willing to take a chance with this Secondary

[Doomsday]

Getting Revel, Hooker, Diggs, Overshown and Butler back should help the defense quite a bit.

We have one of the worst secondaries in the entire league.

There is not a single player in the group who has a good shot tonreach the pro bowl in their career, let alone be all-pro.

Bland won’t do it again. The veteran DBs are what they are and are unlikely to improve. The unproven recent draftees or UDFAs were late picks or undrafted.

There is no diamond in the rough fellas.

I’d love to be wrong but there’s simply a lack of talent in the secondary, top to bottom.

Can they he better than the worst secondary in the league? Sure, maybe we get to bottom five. Bottom ten. Bottom line, that’s not good enough

Revel could be a Pro Bowl caliber CB. But thats it

He’s never played in an NFL games and your using his name in the same sentence as “Pro Bowl caliber”. Perhaps waiting to see him play three or four snaps before crowning him an all pro would be prudent.

Thats going off his talent level. He would have been a top 20 if not for the knee. To say a player "could be Pro Bowl caliber" is not putting them them in the Pro Bowl. Based on talent, Revel is a potential Pro Bowl player. Thats not the same as saying he will be

With the trades and the new look dline, I see fans still say we need CB help. I believe yall are forgetting that any decent CB play the last few years came from the cowboys having somewhat decent dline play.

I dont care how good a CB is, if he is covering until the wr gets to the top of the route, because the line cant get any pressure, he is toast, simple as that.

Have any of you stop to think that the CBs we have now may actually play better with the couple of changes made?

I refuse to believe blande has fell off this bad. If we are getting pressure then the QB is not throwing on target all the time, CBs can cover in less time, sit on certain routes, and take better chances if they know its possible the ball will be coming out fast.

Dude our secondary is straight trash. There are high schools with better secondaries than what we have.

 

[Kumala808]

Rumor is packers are finalizing deal with Samuel Jr. Yet we do nothing to improve the weakest part of the def

 

[JohnsKey19]

I like Carson at CB and I like the potential of revel. I was iffy on butler.

Carson has been bad since Day 1. They desperately need this Revel pick to pan out.

its more like bad QB play in high school that attributing to better secondaries.

with these big upgrades on defense, im thinkin we should try playing the 46 Zone. Made popular by the mid 80s Bears. I see similarities

Based on what? Hope?

We add Quinnen Williams and an aging LB who was benched this year and we see things that remind us of one of the greatest defenses in the NFL?

I know you picked us to win 15 games this year but come on brother.

bro. sarcasm. i predicted 6 wins.

Based on talent level. Im not saying he is going to be a Pro Bowl, Im say he has that level of talent

It is more likely he isn’t.

 

[SoupcanSam]

If you are referring to Logan Wilson he was not playing much for the Bengals and a lot of Cincy fans were mad and wondered why. Wilson had four picks in 2023 and while he is on the downside of his career he at least knows what gaps to fill and is decent in coverage. Should be an upgrade over watching Kenneth "Where The Frick Am I" Murray.

Wilson is good and you are correct about the Bengals fans being upset. Wilson didn't get benched because of performance, he got benched for personal differences with the coaches. He asked to be traded and coaches took offense to that. The war of words went back and forth and eventually he got benched.

Any Bengals fan will tell you they were upset with the coaches over that feud and isnt happy Wilson is in Dallas.

 

[Stak78]

You have more faith than I do. I have to believe the struggles of the secondary has to be on the scheme. Every single player seems to be confused and out of position. I don’t believe they are that bad. What the hell does the defense do during practice? They still look lost more than halfway through the season. I’m ready to flush Eberflus.

 

[Pass2Run]

I worry about Revel re-aggravating that past injury again. I kinda feel the same way about him as I do overshown.

Right..

You want to rest these guys. You muck up your plan if either of them gets hurt and misses next year because of it..
