Even with OScan's injury-- I have NO IDEA how Marinelli had McFadden covering Brown on Pitt's final drive. Inexcusable. Carr or Brown should have been on AB. This secondary is being held together with duct tape at the moment-- but under no circumstances should you put anyone but your top CB on Brown.

I am assuming he was supposed to be doubled over the top but in case you didn't notice.....every other member of our defense BESIDE McFadden never moved on the play. Yes, McFadden got beat by the best WR in football, but he was the only one that didn't fall asleep on the play.

It looked like a concussion but ACF said he came back in so it definitely wasn't that, probably just a dinger.

Off topic, but i don't know how you let Carr walk after this season. Mo/Scandrick are definitely pretty good NFL players, but they miss some time usually. Carr is the steady old man. I'd really like to upgrade the talent at his position, but if you can get him on a short, inexpensive deal, you absolutely have to do it.

What is disappointing is our secondary was a major strength for this team and now it's falling apart fast. Could we please just have one healthy season in Dallas? Is it really that much to ask?

If Scandrick is out for any length of time, go out right now and give Antonio Cromartie 800k. He can't be any worse than McFadden and has some upside, hopefully. Or even bring Terrence Mitchell back. He looked okay in games at the end of the year last year. I just do not like McFadden, looked gutless at times on special teams and lost at corner.

I hope they activate McFadden and get rid of Dunbar. It would be an upgrade and Dunbar doesn't do anything on special teams that can't be replaced.

And Dunbar has done nothing When he has been in on offense. I cringe when he is in there actually.

on back to back plays scandrick got cut by big ben on the reverse, right on his knee then while looking like he was a little shaky he got nailed by Sean Lee and concussed.

We have two games in four days and the ravens game will be more physical than this one was.

I really hope he can play sunday otherwise he will probably miss both games.

That wasn't the only play McFadden was covering Brown. He never should have been covering him.

Yeah, I love the way DLaw just stood there and casually watched Big Ben throw a pass. Wouldn't kill ya to put your hands up maybe there DLaw, maybe a little jump. just say "boo", anything but stand there and watch him.

He made a huge blitz pickup in the fourth quarter that allowed the drive to keep going. He has been fine. Zeke can not play every snap and especially not when you have 3 games in 11 days.

I didn't say Zeke should be in there every play now did I......

Can NOT argue with that. We're getting razor thin in the secondary.
