Everything about our defense starts with the play of Lattimore. If he is successful, the Defense is successful. But he wasn't on Sunday and we all saw it in training camp too: he was getting turned around and beaten by MT and it raised eyebrows but we all wrote it off as just being training camp and even CB coach, A Glenn, mentioned they were trying new techniques. What happened on Sunday was more than that. We saw a CB that couldn't win 1 on 1.
On the TD to Evans, Lattimore didn't even touch him at the LOS. Evans gave him a shake and took off and ML never caught him.
This isn't the same guy that wasn't giving up an INCH last year. All the other fans were constantly crying about how Lattimore grabbed and held. Look at the highlights, he barely touches the receivers, if at all!
Last year Marshon wasn't just having a good year, he was having a historically great year! He was having one of the best years of ANY cornerback , EVER.
That wasn't the same Lattimore on Sunday, not by a long shot. But it's not just him, Crawley looked slow too. Last year they were both quick, tough, gritty. So far, they've looked slow, sluggish and desperate for safety help.
Look at this play: Crawley and Lattimore are at the top and bottom of the play. They both look slow & sluggish. It's almost like they've been coached not to use their hands. I don't know if this is something that can be fixed in 1 week, but until I see something different on Sundays, I've got serious concerns about our secondary.
