This Damn Defense! (1 Viewer)

They are not a zone savvy secondary. Allen needs to quit putting them in zone coverage: PERIOD! Play to your strengths. If you get beat, you get beat. But to play a coverage you know that you struggle with, is like going to battle with a cap gun, instead of a real gun.
 
Actually the only consistent part of our team this year has been the defensive secondary... They have carried us to wins... and only faltered badly once (NYG game).... Our entire back 7 has been lights out.... these turnovers are what have been saving our bacon.
 
it just upsets me hugely that we never put this kind of defense around Brees when he was in his prime. Can you imagine how hard those 2010-11 teams would have been to beat? or any one of those 7-9 years where our defense was historically abysmal and we just kept wasting 5000 yard seasons
 
We are playing zone because every QB we've played thus far has had the ability to escape the pocket.

We will have better results when we get guys like Kwon back who can chase down a QB/RB running sideline to sideline.

Above all, we have to find a way to generate a pass rush. We haven't been good in this department so far this season.

I think getting Dave and Marcus back will go a long way in the pass rush department .
