I said it before in another thread. The most disconcerting thing was how our secondary had no clue what their assignments were. I've never seen so many hands in the air.

I don't know if it was Chavis not calling them in fast enough, the players not understanding the calls, or something in between, but it better get fixed and quick.

I said it in other threads. Our best defenses had power up front and a defensive QB at safety. Hunt, Steltz, Taylor, Reid. It appears Loston is too busy trying to line up a highlight reel hit to line up the young DB's. On a couple of the scorchings I saw Mills looking around and throwing up his hands, wondering where in the Hell his safety help was. Collins continues to get burnt on the regular (not sure if fixable) and White got burnt a couple of times and just beat by great routes and passes from an unhurried senior QB (fixable). Maybe it's time to turn White and Mills loose on an island, and quit with the soft zone. That said, PP7 would get beat half the time if you let a QB like Murray stand back there with zero pressure. Someone observed yesterday that he wasn't even going to have to wash his jersey. We pressured him rarely, and hit him not a single time. The scouting report on him was he could be thrown off his game by pressure, we brought none. Maybe some younger guys need to be turned loose there too?
