I think it really hurt when Burnett had been scheduled to play against the 49'rs and the injury reared up. They were not ready for that.
This is not a position you can just plug another guy in because it happens to be one that is in charge of making calls back there. At least now there has been a couple of games to get the communication side of it fixed.
It sucks that Burnett is out but I think our DB's will be more on the same page now.
I mentioned in a thread after the 49r game that I would like to see more man coverage vs. our best cover guys (being CB's) letting WR's run by them supposedly to be picked up by a DB.
We saw more of this last week and looked a whole lot better until we got up like 31 to nuttin and kind of put it on cruise there. At least I saw some tight coverage underneath and some balls batted away and that was a welcomed sight.
I can't stand watching our best cover corners letting WR's run by them and the QB getting the ball out before the DB can get there. We just don't do that very well.
