Our DBs do not get enough credit

I would cut Anthony Brown tonight....He's a walking PI...human first down.

Some of you have the craziest expectations of corners. No team has 2 shut down corners, most don't have 1. Brown is a completely serviceable starter for us and he's not breaking the bank. Every team gives up passes, there are way too many good WRs and more coming every draft

He sucks.....has for years. Funny how teams just keep targeting him week after week....yet we just keep trotting him out there to take another beating.

I thought they were pretty bad today


When we got no pass rush, it was pitch and catch for Burrow

Really....we held them down pretty good

Are u slow?



The pass rush disrupts everything in this league. You are looking at a stat sheet instead of analyzing whats actually happening.

When the pass rush wasnt getting home, they were making plays. Thats an indictment of Micah and the DL doing work, not our DBs

The word "indictment" is suppose to be used when giving a negative illustration of a situation. I think you meant to say indication. But I slow person would struggle to know the difference between those two words. So...you might be slow.

Holding Burrow to 199 takes a total team effort. Our defensive front as well as our DB's had to be doing something right in order for that to happen. Any time a defense can keep a QB under 200 yards it is a win for the whole defense. Chase, their star wide receiver didn't get 60 yards during the course of that game. So no, you'll never get me to agree with your assessment and I don't think there will be many others that will agree with you either.

Our DB's done a damn good job today. As did the whole defense.

Because of the pass rush you nimwit


How many passes to Chase did you see that were defended besides the clear hold Brown got away with?

All those passes to Chase were defended. Why do you think they call defenders, defenders?

Dude what are you talking about

You pointed to Burrows passing yards as proof the DBs played well, as if the pass rush wasnt the main reason for their lack of success through the air.

You clearly dont know football. Stop quoting me.

You ever heard of a coverage sack? If the DB disrupts the timing between the QB and receiver then the QB has to extend the play with his legs. The play has been extended by the coverage and the rushers end up sacking the QB.

The rush made Burrow hurry his throws a couple of times. But the coverage made him pull the ball down a couple of times also. So it's like I said, you can't hold a QB like Burrow, with a WR like Chase, under 200 yards without a total team effort.

Personally I think our secondary is one of the best we’ve assembled in a very long time. Diggs has been exceptional this year. He may have saved our season with that tackle as well

Wait till Diggs ask for and gets his extension as the league’s highest paid CB after this season. Then tell me about underrated!

Brown is is the best bargain pick we have made in the last 5 years in the draft
