Because so many times a WR came in to play CB admirably we are going to throw that in here? What a joke. Troy
Brown had folks like Vince Wilfork, Rodney Harrison, Tedy Bruschi, Ted Johnson, Willie McGinest and Mike Vrabel when he came in for Ty Law. They also had RB Corey Dillon who racked up over 1,600 yards rushing that kept the defense off the field and extended offensive drives. You catching on that this isn't an Apples to Apples thing here yet?
If you watch the secondary, it's clear as day that Morgan Burnett and Ha'Sean Clinton-Dix are trying to do too much and need to go back to worrying about their jobs, respectively.
The only positives I recall are Jared Cook looked pretty good and Randall Cobb appears to be coming back into the form we're used to seeing. Aaron Rodgers was a little more accurate and helped keep my Fantasy playoffs hopes ever so slightly alive. And before you start blasting Cook for that fumble, try to show some respect to Josh Norman and understand that was a helluva play by Norman more than it was a bad play by Cook.
It's insane how both the Tackles are hobbled and can't walk without a limp, yet they somehow haven't got Aaron Rodgers murder killed ... yet.
Morgan Burnett, Ha'Sean Clinton-Dix, Sam Shields and Damarious Randall are a really good quartet, when healthy. The problem is Shields is probably done career-wise and Randall gets burned when he doesn't have all of his speed. Thankfully the coaching staff saw this and sat his ass down before fans start questioning how good of a player he is.
Quentin Rollins is a solid too, but so raw.
If the entire defensive coaching staff were to be removed, I wouldn't be upset. I do like Darren Perry and Joe Whitt Jr, but I would prefer a clean start with someone new if the coordinator is let go.
It's comical how fans want a blitz, yet want 8 in coverage. Seriously, do you understand math? You only get 11 dudes on the field!! hahaha
Oh, in the tone of the thread here about glass full ... glass full thought ... at least we won't suffer a disappointing lackluster playoff loss. 🙂
