Rev and Ellis have a really informative and stat based review on our secondary performance. They show that the deep ball is clearly not our issue on either side. The issue is underneath routes (less than 15yds). I dont have the link but if giving up deep passing plays is your concern search out Saints D vs Eagles Offense.
Yeah, the only question I had about that is how PIs are factored in. But it was definitely a concerning stat given the Eagles offense relies on that short stuff.
Still, I think it's a little different when you can game plan against it. If Apple is jamming WRs and we are using safety help on Ertz and Goedert, that number should look different.
