    This explains our D in a nutshell. Elite 1st and 2nd down defense, then 3rd down is garbage.

    Cockrell has to go. Like he is really putting me in the boat of do what you got to do to get Johnson.

    Maybe we need a long-yardage D coordinator. Sheesh.

    I think Simms could make a 3rd and 30 on our secondary if he had to.

    The Steelers need corners. We knew they needed corners. Everybody knew they needed corners. They waited too long to draft one and did nothing in free agency and it's going to cost them dearly.

    The way our secondary is playing.....I wouldn't be writing Golson off....or anyone with a pulse for that matter......abysmal. Anyone that has been to camp do our WRs run around with their shoe laces tied together.....can't cover anyone.

    Looks like we got away with a PI to force a FG.

    Good thing it's preseason week 2. Very disappointed in Cockrell, Golden, Gay and Davis. The only guy in the secondary that I haven't seen get beaten yet is Burns, but I missed the first drive.

    Isn't it time to ax Carmel Lake and get a REAL DB's coach. When our offensive line was complete trash we made a change

    Can anyone say we look any stronger on the back end since Carnell took over in 2011?

    Imagine if Derek Carr hadn't been injured at the end of last season and we had to go to Oakland in the playoffs.

    Coty Sensabaugh was added in FA :shrug:, most of the good CBs were gone by the second round.

    They need to be bold for once, make the trade for Trumaine Johnson.
