Let's talk defense

yeah i'm not gonna even about the negatives until later this week.

I just hope that the fact he has been forced into the number 1 cb is the reason he has been so bad

I can't beleive no one has mentioned how poorly Carlos Rodger has played all year... He was horrible again yesturday for the 4th week.
Keep the faith, he'll continue to develop, he's learning from the best

OJT for Rogers. But I didn't think he looked THAT bad. He's not getting much safety help, no doubt. It's been 2 steps forward, 1 step back, IMO.

Also, Leftwhich (sp) made some nice throws. He's got a strong arm and can hit that nice 12-15 yard out. And that throw where Taylor took the guy's helmet off was right on the money.

As for ST and bad angles, it only sticks out becuase we're so used to him making those plays. He makes a lot of sticks in the run game, and that requires good angles as he comes up from the secondary. Yes, he was caught on that one TD, but that guy is a likety-split little guy.

Warning to the cowboys--ST is only going to get better. Meanwhile, the sainted Roy is only getting older...

Have you seen roy this year I know ST is getting better but roy is also getting better he's only 26 C'mon

yeah, definately their best game. Our secondary still kinda sucks right now though. Rogers had a bad game and Taylor had a bad game (for Sean Taylor). Curry Burns probably shouldn't be on the field either. (he was being used where GW wanted to use Prioleau before injury, subbing him in on passing downs to protect archuleta from blown coverages).

where the heck did burns come from? he was horrible. and golston gets better and better with each week.

I'm worried that Sean Taylor won't be able to play more than five seasons. Some guys have a few hits in a game or a highlight stick in every other game. This guy has a world shattering collision EVERY time he makes a play on the ball. It's a tremendous combination of courage and skill. He plays a game that I, as a fan, am not familiar with.

It's got to catch up with him though, right? I mean he's gotta be sore today, right? How cool would it be if he isn't.

I wanted to add a comment about Rock Cartwright as well. How smart is Gibbs? Most coaches put a speedster back there and hope they break one or two runs a year. Gibbs puts a bowling ball back there who over the course of the season will pick up maybe 300 more yards than the sprinter by overpowering people. And he got a TD against Dallas anyway.

safeties play almost as long as CBs. initiating contact is much safer than being hit from your blind side.

ST is the most fun defensive player I have ever watched....he is in on every play, whether or not he makes the tackle he is ALWAYS there.

I have to disagree about Carlos, he seems to be doing a pretty decent job as a number 1 corner being a second year player on a team with hardhitting (not coverage) safeties.

Golston is a beast, I wouldnt mind seeing him starting permenantly.

Archuletta is starting to look comfortable, and he said it helps that he was able to blitz, that it gets him into the flow of the game, and when Springs is back u better believe he'll be doing plenty of blitzing.

Wright and Rumph look better every game, I will be more then comfortable with them at nickle when Springs returns.

Andre Carter is coming into his own, dont be surprised to see him with 9 sacks at the end of the year, he is a strong physical guy, and dont forget that he has been up against some of the best olineman in the league.

D looked better, I expect them to manhandle the Giants. As long as Tiki is stifled, and we get to Manning the Gmen dont have a chance.
