But what exactly do we play? When it's 3rd and 4 and our underneath coverage drops back 8+ yards instantly after the snap, what exactly do we call this? Cause it sure as hell isn't any type of zone any other team in the league plays. And on a side note, Claiborne plays this type of D every snap whether the call is man or zone he just drops back and prays the ball is going elsewhere

one of the reasons i guess is claiborne really, really is a bust from hell and carr can not cover big, physical receivers like bouldin, johnson, marshall and those type guys.

hell...claiborne is one the biggest busts of a 1st round pick i've ever seen.

Our secondary is garbage man. Mo must go and I will finally agree Carr is over paid. No way in Heck this secondary was blowing so many coverages earlier. If JJ is smart bring in Major Wright and trade Mo for a quality DL player while he has some stock.

Larry Brown played 8 to 10 yards off the ball in 1995 when the Cowboys won the Super Bowl. They played that way most of the years with Zimmer as the DC and finished top 5 in defense some of those years.
