He's having a bad year in a year where we've got two new corners, one of which is a rookie. This Clinton-Dix indeference is getting a little old. No offense to you, but people need to quit acting like this year is a career projection season. We've got zero pass rush. It's a miracle any defensive back looks like anything more than a 5th string JAG. The only reason Burnett seems so obviously better than Burnett this year is because he's playing about twice as close to the LOS as Clinton-Dix. Burnett is, has been and could continue to be great for us, but he's 29 at the end of the year and he's missed 26 games in his career. Clinton-Dix will be 25 and he's missed 0 games in his career. Again, no offense, but this post is very not good. I have no reason to doubt HaHa couldn't thrive by doing what Burnett has done this year, and I have no reason to doubt Burnett might struggle doing what HaHa has been doing this year. HaHas body language seems awful at times. I legit think he hates Dom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we switch to a 4-3 now, but if we did I would want an edge with a look at an off ball linebacker. I'm slowly becoming the go 43 guy. Which I used to laugh at. I'm becoming the change for the sake of it guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jones is good if he can beat the blocker to the hole, but once someone gets their hands on him he's done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I legit think he hates Dom He's probably tired of being preoccupied trying to cover up mistakes from our corners. He should be roving, reading eyes, taking chances, but it seems like they have him on alert at all times for a mistake on the boundary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was sure he was going to be elite in 2016. I chalked up his mediocre season to all the injuries at CB. This season? I have no idea why he looks so bad, but I do worry he might be the next dback after Hayward and Hyde to go elsewhere and flourish. It must be as demoralizing to play for a mediocre (at best) defense year after year is it is for fans to watch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha21 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 So Blake Martinez is quickly becoming one of my favorite players on defense. He is a tackling machine and a lot of fun to watch. Great draft pick for where we got him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it's demoralizing to hear opposing QB's comment on how they knew what the GB defense was doing the entire game, and they simply audibled to the matchups they wanted. No doubt that's the source of some of the bizarre matchups we've seen for the ILB's in coverage, not to mention the regular breakdowns on 3rd and long. Capers is a lot of things, but his days of being a trailblazer in the scheme dept are long past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He reminds me of Sharper the Matador out there in recent games My guess is an undisclosed injury, bad shoulder or something. He's not laying the wood, he's "ushering" guys to the ground and is letting others do the heavy hitting. Seems like he's protecting an injury, but that's just speculation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it all comes down to execution and/or talent. We have some talent but a lot of it is very young and inexperienced. If you can't rus the passer and give even a pedestrian QB time back there you're gonna get burned no matter who is in your secondary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
