I've supported Zimmer for quite a while now....
But I think there are serious flaws in our defense that need to be fixed.
I think we're still very shaky on run defense.
Teams seem to be able to march down the field with their two-minute offense. This is alarming.....This, more than anything, has to be addressed.
It seems that we go a little more passive on third and fourth downs. We don't bring the heat.....On the big plays to Shockey and Burress, Manning had plenty of time to throw. It's one thing to play coverage, it's quite another thing to allow receivers too much time.
Again, I think Zimmer has done a fine job since he's been our DC. He's had very little talent over the years, but our defense has always been solid. Now, he has so many young guys.
Hopefully, the problems I listed are due mainly to the youth we have on the defense.
