Either they're giving 10 yard cushions and fail to make tackles more than they should, or the rare times they man up they play like chickens with their heads cut off when the ball is in the air.

Are good DB's with sound fundamentals just too much to ask for these days?

Because it is easier to find 5 athletes that can run routes than 6 or 7 athletes that can cover.

Because rule changes have made it basically impossible to shutdown a receiver.

Defense as a whole is atrocious these days. All these games just have offensive players running up and down the field.

Because you cant touch the receiver after 1 yard. The sprit of the pass interference rule has gotten out of hand. It's only pass interference when the defender significantly hinders the progress of player. It's called ridiculously one sided as the defender has just as much the right to the ball as the offensive player yet they allow the offense to push off on every deep throw.

Passing offenses in college have evolved considerably over the last 10 years or so. That plus rule changes makes it a lot harder to play in the secondary.
