Interesting read on our secondary philosophy

Got to agree with you here.

Unless I'm missing something, the Giants, who won 12 games last year, scored 16 offensive points and our defense caused 1 interception and 1 fumble.

I'm not sure I'm ready to throw the defense under the bus yet.

Here here, as frustrating as it is to lose to the Giants on opening day, and see guys not play as expected, it was one game. The first game at that. We'll bounce back!

Carlos Rogers need to learn how to catch and the Offense needs to score more points. The Defense ain't the problem.

I don't think anyone is saying the defense sucks and the offense is great, not at all, but if you can improve them both why not? Doe's anyone think the defense couldn't be better? Trying to improve the defense is not an endorsement of the offense.

The missed pick 6 by Rogers is my only beef. And any half-way decent QB is going to pick apart any Defense if he's allowed to camp out in the pocket all day, whether the DBs press or not. The pressure needs to improve. The other stuff - Landry whiffing on tackles, D Hall, the missed tackles, will work itself out. I worry that the lack of pressure may be chronic (when I was hoping it would be "The Chronic").

My question is sort of smart-elic ,but how many times a year do the Redskins and Giants play?How many games have they played since Portis,Cooley,Moss,ETC.ETC.This was a division rival in one of the toughest divisions(if not the toughest)in the league.I wanted a win also,but you can watch film on a team over and over,but until you play them over and over your still behind.The giants are ahead of the curve on the Skins.Dallas,and the Eagles are going to be tough games also.So lets not give Zorn the rope just yet,give him the next next 5 games to let it loose and secure his job.

Yeah I took that article to really say there's nothing wrong w/ the basic tenets of our secondary scheme (off-man) but it's extremely important our players execute properly but don't let the QB recognize what we're doing. I mean Los was a shutdown corner on Sunday so obviously the scheme can work. Los is talented no doubt but he's not some kind of phenomenon...so basically it's on Hall to improve markedly. Hall just had a bad day...I bet he comes out ballin' this Sunday cuz the dude wants to succeed here and sure as hell doesn't want to be outplayed every game by the opposite starter.
