Corners are 10 yards off the WR


good ol cover 2.  I can’t lie, I’d honestly do the same.  Let them keep checking down and don’t let them beat you deep.  Our problem is that our defensive backs arent good and our linebackers are mediocre in pass coverage.

 

so in this situation, cover 2 is the correct call defensively seeing as we’re up and also doubt stroud to beat us deep.  But our defensive backs aren’t good enough to play it.  
 

either risk being aggressive right now while the Texans are throwing and get beat deep, or play it safe with the cover 2, allow them to chew up clock, and keep everything in front of you.

Our secondary is young, this is going to be an interesting season, but I think fun year. We have a strong D front, 2 good QB's, and if Taylor does play, between he and Moss we should have a great running game. Everything is a learning process - AR needs to learn how to take hits better, our coach will learn different situations when they come and go.

    • I wonder if there will be settlements to the people that have ordered the NFL package for many years   Im in it for 20 years.......  
    • Don’t worry. This is pretty common for the 2024 Reds. They always win the first game of the series in convincing fashion, and then the bats get cold for the rest of the other 2-3 games. 
    • I gotta say you make arguments that you’d never accept from your students because they’re so superficial.      So saying Ballard has been mediocre to bad is tissue paper thin.  Why hasn’t Irsay fired this mediocre to bad GM?  Because he signed off on what Ballard did each year in real time, not after the fact.   Irsay knows Ballard has an eye for talent.  And as Ballard freely admitted in January, the Colts haven’t had more success because he failed to get the QB right.  These aren’t excuses, but it IS badly needed context — which you’d realize if you weren’t always looking for new ways to hate on CB.      As to what you and Moose “supposedly said”  there’s a simple way to verify.  Go to the Day 2 draft thread of Friday April 26.  It was between 3a and 4 my time when I saw it.  I believe it was recent.  Just add 2-3 hours depending on your time zone and you can see your conversation with Moose.   What was so astonishing, what makes me “prattle on” as you put it is how you two ever thought you were right?!?   Given your career choice you jumped to conclusions I’d like to think you’d never accept from your students.   Why you thought Ballard didn’t know more?  Why you thought you two knew better?   Ballard not only knows more, he knows dramatically more.  As I said in another post, he shared the tip of the iceberg.  He doesn’t share the part of the iceberg that you can’t see.  The 90 percent.  The absence of curiosity is stunning given your occupation.    Now, at the bottom of your post you brought up a new line of attack on me and I have no idea what you’re talking about?   I’m not an optimist?   Since when?  Based on what?   In my 12 years here, only 1-2 posters have ever made that claim.   So what are you talking about?     Finally….   You can stop calling me Sir.  It’s normally said with respect.  You don’t respect me at all.   I’ve extended olive branches publicly and privately, and both have been rejected.  Your choice.  So calling me sir is intended as an insult.   It’s old and boring.   Move on.   I don’t know why you “enjoy engaging with me”.   You take a beating.  But if that’s what you’re in to, be my guest.    Sorry this went so long….
