Will be a formidable defense if our pass-rush gets going w/ the way our secondary is playing right now. Shades of that 2010 defense secondary right now creeping into mind... Alexander/King/Sullivan/Amos/Savage vs Woodson/Tramon/Shields/Bigby/Collins not at the same level, of course, but playing very very well right now They looked good against the Titans but I think Trubs was getting ride of the ball within 5 yards of the LOS every play hampered what they could do against Chicago.

I understand, although I do not think it applies to game changers. If it comes down to Aaron Jones or Kevin King, give me the superior player. Aaron Jones is by far the superior player. Man was 2/2 for 28 yards allowed in like 50 snaps before garbage time, and both completions were schemed off coverage. In what universe is that not playing well?

It is much easier to replace RB. When Jones and Williams weren't available against Tennessee, Dillon carried us. You pay a starting CB over a RB every time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the frustrating part, we played solid D but they still moved the chains in small chunks. Of course, this leaves the door open for negative plays and turnovers when you take so many chances. Also, our red zone D looked much better than it has, granted against a weaker QB, but this was the strength of our defense last year.

Having him playing at this level w/ Jaire is a recipe for a Lombardi IMO Team is red hot at the right time I thought King played a really good game. I could whine about him missing a tackle here or there, but that is life as an NFL corner. I was very happy to see his speed return to him. He was coming up fast. And I can't fault him for a couple of balls that were quick hitters and it is the scheme that keeps him 7-8 yards off of the receiver. Yah, pretty happy with that pairing at corner. We are playing well. Defense has gotten better, though I still think Pettine is holding them back some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They broke tackles and made guys miss. If we don't miss tackles, they were dead meat. Also....seemed like Z was more concerned with arguing about holding than he was getting off of blocks. Saw that enough during the game. Gary seemed to get dinged and Peston didn't really bring it like he can. It's scary to think that this defense is going to get better with some rest. As long as there remains a foot squarely up Pettine's keister. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as far as top paid RB's this year here is a list. McCaffrey - Panthers - Missed the Playoffs Kamara - Saints - Playoffs Elliott - Cowboys - Missed the Playoffs Johnson - Texans - Missed the Playoffs Cook - Vikings - Missed the Playoffs Henry - Titans - Playoffs Mixon - Bengals - Missed the Playoffs Drake - Cardinals - Missed the Playoffs Gordon - Broncos - Missed the Playoffs Barkley - Giants - Missed the Playoffs Now I know there was injury for a couple there, Jones was also out a little bit this year. But still only 2 of the top 10 paid RB's made the playoffs this year. Stat's can always be a little miss leading, but I did want to point out why a lot of people say don't pay big bucks to RB's. I would like King back over Jones if the money gets to high. And I love Jones!!! You simply just can't pay everyone and it hurts at times. Irrelevant. Those teams missed the playoffs due to multiple bad decisions. Not just because they signed a RB. That thinking is flat out ridiculous. Is it a riskier investment, yes. But you're not going to miss the play-offs just because you sign a RB. It doesn't work like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowhere near WRs, and another terrible missed tackle. What game were you watching? They were hitting short stuff in the flats all day. They hit a long pass that Savage mis-judged. Other than that it was dink and dunk in the short zones all day. Take away the 53 yard play to Mooney and he had 10 other catches for 40 yards. Montgomery had 9 catches for 63 yards ()most after breaking a couple tackles), Kmet had 7 catches for 40 yards. That is 6 yards per completed pass. After the YAC. What do you think a CB should be doing to stop all of that realistically? In the defense the Packers were playing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowhere near WRs, and another terrible missed tackle. Gonna need some time stamps on this. Because I'm looking at this box score and throws to the left were: Drive 1: 7 yards Incomplete Drive 2: Incomplete 5 yards Drive 3: None Drive 4: None Drive 5: 6 yards 1 yard 0 yards Incomplete Drive 6: 5 yards 11 yards 3 yards Drive 7: 5 yards 14 yards 2 yards 6 yards Drive 8: None Drive 9: 4 yards 23 yards Obviously many of these will be on the safeties, linebackers, and Sullivan. But even if we do say they're all on King: 14/17 for 92 yards isn't a horrible day. That's a sub 90 passer rating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not guys like Melvin Gordon or David Johnsons. Cook, Henry, Kamara, CMC, Aaron Jones absolutely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
