    Mccourty is not terrible. He's a number 2 tho in my opinion. Cox should be cut quick fast and in a hurry. He's so slow

    If someone could teach our DB's the fundamentals on how to tackle that would be a great start. Oh and how to take better angles would help to.

    Actually they have two bigger problems...poor angles and tackling in the secondary, and we can't cover 1 v 1. Really limits what and how we blitz!

    Respectfully disagree. For the money that JMac makes he should have been cut right along with Griffin. Cox has lost all confidence, Carr came out right from the jump and went right at him. Opposing QBs have no respect for him which is a shame because he was pretty solid for us last year. The sad thing is that we have ZERO CBs worth a damn. McCain wiffed big time and gave up that easy TD, Blake is even worse. We are screwed. If these guys don't have a come to Jesus moment soon our season is over.

    Please
    please u can't compare JMac to Griffin. Griffin was the worst player on the defense last few years he was here. That all started wen we decided to tag his bum ass instead of Cortland. I agree JMac isn't great but he isn't awful either. And this isn't there reason we're screwed. That would be Mariota

    The comparison to Griffin is spot on actually. I have watched every single game for the last 10 years, I'm not just talking out of my asss. JMac is not a ballhawk, he's not a shutdown corner, he's not as solid a tackler as he used to be. Go back and watch the last 3 games again, you will see that JMac is nothing special at all. He makes tackles down the field AFTER they've already picked up the 1st down, he does nothing to stop those gains. But again it's not just him they're all trash. As a guy making $7M a year as our highest paid DB he is overrated in every sense of the word.

    As have I watched every game never did I say JMac was good. I said he not awful lol. He a decent number 2 corner. Not a number 1 . Btw I thought we shoulda hired Jim shwartz over Mularkey. He's doing a hell of a job in philly

    Never said anything about mortgaging our future, but we're one of the youngest teams in the league already. We have six players from this years draft that will at least COMPETE for starter duties next year, and 4 draft picks in the first three rounds next year. I just think this team needs a bit more of a veteran presence in the locker room and I'd gladly trade one of our picks next year for a vet starter.

    I'm not talking about a one year rental either, obviously we're not in win now mode. It would have to be someone that would remain useful into the future.

    For instance: The Bears are currently tanking and have to be thinking a rebuild is imminent. They've yet to reach a long term contract extension with Alshon Jeffery and might think its better to get something for him now, than nothing for him later. We have plenty of cap space and could sign him to a long term deal.

    Would I trade one of our 2017 firsts for a proven consistent young playmaker at a position of need if we could agree to a long term deal beforehand? You're damn right I would.

    I'm not disagreeing with you, the secondary is garbage. So is the pass rush. If you have a strong pass rush, you can over come a bad secondary (maybe not bad, but mediocre). I don't think I've seen too many occasions of the opposite being true, that a bad pass rush is ok because the secondary bails them out.
