Is the Secondary about where you expected it to be this season?

Going from Quinn's scheme to Zimmers scheme, it seemed that Quinn was all about getting turnovers, and he had success doing so. I felt in my heart when we picked up Zimmer, there would be less INT's, but more discipline from our secondary. Maybe with Bland coming back, our numbers go up as it gives you another play maker, maybe not. You look at our safeties, they're nothing to be happy about, our CB's J. Lewis is probably the only person to get excited about recently. The secondary would benefit immensely with pocket push, and a pass rush, let's not forget about this. There's time left, the season isn't over (FYI)


Is the secondary where you thought it would be right now, or not, please give your thoughts......

Too many injuries.

no Pass rush.

Mazi Is a bust.

DBs seem to be playing a lot of zone.

big Mike hates the AA gap and Zim.

It's hard to say. They are missing Bland and whoever replaced him has gotten picked on. But I also think Diggs has been a disappointment. So have the safeties. Maybe it is all the result of no pass rush, but I just think they play too soft and allow too many easy completions. Lewis has been better than I expected. He is the one bright spot.

Yeah, our secondary has been very disappointing this year. The fact that our d-line hasn't been getting a whole lot of pressures, and add in injuries, it's no wonder they look like a mess!!

Let that sink in, Bland replacement is not getting picked on but the man who hates tackling is Diggs. Who thinks he is Prime Time.

His Lordship, Al Harris gets so much love when Bland had his biggest season but now the secondary is getting torched ( with Diggs), Al Harris gets no responsibility for it.

Hmmm.

I haven't seen a single facet of this team that I could say "Yeah, looks solid there!". Ok, outside kicker. We have the best kicker in the NFL. After that..................................??

CB's - yes. Diggs, Bland, Lewis, Carson make a pretty good group.

S's - no. Wilson is doing ok. Still don't understand why Thomas isn't getting more playing time. Hooker looks like he is on his last legs. Where has Bell been? Mukuamu is MIA most of the time.

Yes, the secondary has issues, so i dont expect miracles every week from Harris, but hes doing the best with what he has. I think some of our fans overrated Diggs, and i think with the new leadership of Zimmer, HArris is doing ok. Zimmer has been on the lower end. Tho i cant say for sure if thats on him or JJ. JJ set this roster up and Zimmer had some say but by and large its on JJ. I was hoping the D would be more run stop heavy but offense coords having some guts realized you can disrespect the boys , so they are taking advantage. MM has been a disappionment and i was correct that the OC doesnt know his job. Or hes taking orders from JJ. As ive said its been proven, JJ is not about winning or the post season, just mkaing money.

However, its hard to blame the coaches when the owner wants to be involved and doesnt know what hes doing.

Strong safety, free safety. They’re basically the cornerbacks linebacker. Last line of defense no, we’re not where we should be injuries. Got good players coming back. This team is not gonna look like we did against Detroit.

Hopefully we get this pass rush going, this could help. Still with that said, seeing guys playing 6 yards off the WR on 3rd and short, like come on now!~
Exactly and I’m not sure why I’m shocked zimmer dis that crap when he was here before and got run out of town

There are a lot of good matchups today. Eagles, Giants, San Fran, Kansas City. Detroit, Minnesota.

a good pass rush always makes a secondary look better

and a good secondary can look bad without one

Diggs has been a huge disappointment beyond his refusal to tackle
we clearly do not have a good CB for starting outside of Bland

The safeties have been average at best
