Don't get the hate?

I'm tired of mediocre players...  Harris was in position but what did he do beside come in late and land his classic monster hit - leading with his head.

Bottom line

Leggett is a better safety, we're not maximizing players...  Harris would be a great backup plan/ST guy.

And that points to.......?

Macho Harris might be the defensive MVP last night, but it's a low bar. Fogg and Posey got beat up in the secondary all night and the front 7 gave up over 200 yards rushing, that is the kind of night it was for the defense. No one was good but Harris at least looked OK.

Ironic, isn't it? Most here at the beginning of the season saw Macho Harris as a stopgap player and a weak link, but he, Wild and Randle have been earning their paycheques. The rest of the defence......

Yeah Wild Randle and Harris are the only guys on D doing anything positive. Bass is MIA, Westerman hasn't been consistent yet, I think Cummings is OK at disrupting things but the rest, steaming pile of crap.

But, so many of our pundits and prognosticators have declared this secondary to be the strength of our team and among the best in the league along with our linebackers and Dline. What happened?

Johnny Adams is hurt and Demond Washington went to FA and we lost him. Those two were the best players in the secondary last year and now we got a bunch of rookies and over rated players like Bruce Johnson expected to do heavy lifting.

I I don't get all the hate.

 

what I don't get is why their receivers are constantly open all the time

He was in position for tackles, not for coverage. His coverage has been awful. He still misses a ton of tackles going for hits. We do not have the kind of D that can carry some one like him at S. That probably why we started swapping him and moe a bunch.

Could be wrong but I think we were playing Wild-Bass-Hurl for a while to try and stop Messam...  

 

Right now, the only thing that I can think of to stop the bleeding is:

Randle-Leggett-Harris/Loffler-Fogg-Johnson

Bass-Muamba-Wild/Burnett

Westerman-Shologan/Thomas-Cummings-Corney/Hubbard

 

Shaylon Green had one nice play but I still don't like his game.

Bass not looking comfortable at MLB - might be Hall's schemes

Might as well get Loffler some reps... maybe he grabs the job.

Wild has shown he can cover, I think he can handle SAM.

Get as many Cdns on D... play 3 INT OL and Davis-Smith-Adams-Mayo-McDuffie

Yes they did that too. Bringing in muamba to play MLB, moving leggett back to S having harris behind him would be pretty good. Agree about green and corney too. Going an extra int on the ol would be nice especially if bond is healthy. I think itd help a lot to move goosen to G and have some one else a C too. He struggles with reads and communication.

Funny thing with this team is that we keep 'fixing' a DL and DBs that actually seem fine...  and after seven years, the OL is still kind of on the backburner

except Harris was a horrible tackler in SK. He tried so many times to tackle a receiver or ball carrier with his shoulder. He never wraps up. He was mediocre at best in SK.

And the rest of the crew that whiffed on tackles.....let's pass the blame around to the other blind tacklers
