However, Dallas has a terrible secondary compared to New England. He's young and learning. He'll get better.
Frankly, this is an ignorant statement.
So many look at our first game vs the Giants and say that our secondary is terrible.
Hardly.
We've been beat up. Our secondary hasn't played a full-game yet with all the players in the positions they were intended to play.
Newman missed the first two games entirely. As soon as he appeared to be ready to play full-time, Henry went down. We were missing Henry for four games.
Right now, we're finally looking to get fully healthy. We'll finally be able to play our defense as we originally intended.
Newman and Henry start. Newman locks his man down.
Hamlin patrols the deep middle...provides help to Henry when needed.
Williams plays close to the LOS....blows up run and blitzes. He hasn't been able to do this a whole lot this year.
Reeves comes in on the nickle D. Newman covers the slot. Nate Jones is not on the field.
Our special nickle package is going to be really good. Newman, Henry, Reeves, Hamlin, and Watkins....Williams playing as an extra LB.
Check the stats.....our pass defense is pretty sound. Considering they haven't been healthy all year, they've actually been impressive.
