i wouldn't say they look sharp. they are hanging in there but haven't settled in yet
People may not remember exactly what you did
or what you said....
~BUT~
they will ALWAYS remember how you made them feel.
Here we go. I hate playing NFC East teams. We look great against a superior team like the Jags then look bland and iffy against a team like the Giants.

I'd say we're lucky it's 3-3. Feeley missed a short field goal and Pierce easily could have taken that dropped interception back to the house.
As long as it's close at halftime, I think we'll be fine. I really think we're only an adjustment or two away on offense. Defensivley, I'm not so sure.
That's all true, but it's partially because he's being asked to be the number one when he should be the number two. We can't have the safties shade his way because we have Wright and Rumph on the other side.
I don't really buy that explanation though. Missing int's and tackles has nothing to do with "being asked to do too much." He was dropping int's last season too (Seattle game). And I don't think that he is somehow going to become more fluid or gain speed when Springs comes back.

That's true, I was referring to his coverage. Rogers can't catch - that's probably never going to change. I would hope his tackling would improve once he becomes more comfortable with his coverage abiltiies (he just had a nice one there).
One good thing about our secondary is that they all can tackle (at least in theory), so when they get down to the red zone we are much more effective. As much as I hate watching defenses like this, we might be in for a bend-but-don't-break season.
