Ideal secondary?

Guess Witherspoon cant cover either, since hes given up 8 more receptions.

You know, the Witherspoon whos supposedly the best corner in the NFL.

Haven't been watching him. I've been watching Bland since the beginning and he was never much of a cover guy.

Except for when he was All Pro you mean.

Bland can't cover

We have one of the worst pass rushes in the NFL through 4 games. We are bottom 5 in the league in every metric you can name. Not saying Bland is good, but a pass rush makes all those guys look better.

 

[Acceptablename]

That did it...I'm changing my drafting strategy

 

[JayFord]

Whoever knows that receivers are supposed to have a DB by them at all times

 

[Kingofholland]

Revel and Porter on the outside
Bland in the slot
Downs and Thompson at safety?

Sounds about right.

 

[Dorsett99Yards]

Revel is 6'1 200.... could he play FS in the nickel? Our safeties are so slow and cant seem to cover the field.

You want speed then put Speed on the field.

Ameer Speed at SS
Durant at NCB
Downs at FS
Porter and Revel as the outsiders.
Carson first off the bench.
That is all the speed we can muster.

That Bland contract is looking asinine. Every team we play will target him often.

Hes had his difficulties. That said we've struggled collectively on defense, changed schemes and moved him around. A lot of guys have ups and downs. This board hated Jordan Lewis for the majority of his time here. He ended up being a very solid player. Hopefully Bland rebounds as well.

Yup. I'd rather have Steward in the slot. Probably rather have Durant opposite Porter too.

I think Bland gets too much grief on here, like others who got paid big money. Until Revel proves it, Bland is still our best option, and one of the outside corner spots. Revel didn’t prove anything when he got the chance, which is part of the reason we got Porter.

When Thompson returns, I would go with Porter and Bland at outside corner and Diwns back in the slot in the nickel, but at safety instead of Hooker in the base. Revel would get snaps next, and if he proves that he should be on the field more than Bland then he should take snaps away from him.
