I know that our defensive line needs help, but would most of you agree that our secondary is poor in coverage and horrendous in terms of tackling.


They've been significantly better in coverage since the pass rush has improved...funny how that works. Most of the secondaries in the league are bad at tacking (SF the obvious exception that comes to mind).

Roman Harper needs to go


He's actually played quite a bit better over the 2nd half of the season...I like what we're doing with him.

So you're moving one of the poorer tacklers to a position that is used more for run support?

Greer is still effective. Robinson always seems to be near his man, but never locates the ball; this should be corrected with coaching.


pretty much agree on both counts although again I think the play of both has improved with the increase in pressure by the front 7.

Robinson is also not the greatest tackler in the world.

We need a badass free safety ( why didn't we pursue Laron Landry?)


so you talk about not being able to cover and you want this roided out punk? The dude is a GIANT coverage liability.

that opponents fear when they go over the middle.

so we can get hit with 15 yard flags every single time? The intimidating headhunter safety has been rendered completely obsolete in the new NFL.

Who is available in the draft that can make an immediate impact?


hopefully more pass rushers

The point is that the secondary has to improve, and we cannot pay Harper 7 plus million for his talent level. I do think Jenkins has the size to play strong safety; I think he is fair at free.
