He was terrible and singlehandedly made the numbers a lot worse. But Fuller, Nelson and Ward weren't too bad. I think the main problem with every phase of the defense the last few years is how they were utilized.
Hey, let's give every wideout a cushion and let them nibble their way down the field! We'll stiffen up in the redzone! Or not! [Reply]

The CB play should improve with upgrade at safety, Dont forget we also have a couple safeties who can cover the slot too. [Reply]

The problem though, is some guys are really good in that coverage.
I'm going to use this as an example, Josh Norman. If he plays the 8-10 yards off zone, he's rated as a top 5 CB, he only gives up something like a 45% completion rate, numbers are high across the board.
If he lines up directly on the receiver, he's basically a below average player. A lot of it is knowing who your players are, some dudes are really good in that off zone look. [Reply]

I get super sketched out when Hill is just waiting for the ball and players are running full speed at him.
I’d like to see Darwin Thompson get a shot returning kicks. He has that stocky build and he’s a running back. I wouldn’t worry about injury or him fumbling. [Reply]
