It won't matter when Landry and Taylor are back there

I guess you forgot that Taylor was back there all last season where he gave up huge plays and don't give me the "he had to cover everything else" stuff because you could say that about Carlos and Vincent too...plus on zone coverage...how can a db get burnt...it's the safeties fault

He got burnt because he was trying to be in 2 places at once. He was placed lower in the box because he had to carry AA's load. He was too far down in the box to be effective up top.

Let's break it down for you like I did for someone else.

1. Pop in your copy of Madden.
2. Put Taylor down in the box. See how his speed allows him to play both the run and pass pretty decently.
3. Now notice what happens on play action, you're too far down in the box to be able to cover the WR over top. He's fast enough to get close but not close enough.
4. Now play Sean deep in centerfield where he should be and wasn't last year. Do you see how easy it is to discern the play and use his speed to pick off passes.

Yes, it's that simple.

He can cover if he is let lose, but i find it funny how people trash carlos so much because he got burnt a couple times (guarantee that if he caught most of those dropped picks he'd be god right now) but he dropped them so people seem to find a way to say he gets burnt non-stop in ZONE COVERAGE...does this make sense?

Taylor knocked the crap out of them anyway! It was freakin great man!

If Carlos could catch, he'd be a wide receiver. Recivers that can't catch typically become cornerbacks.

We would have had the first down had their linebacker not grabbed portis! Also, that obvious holding call when Griffen would have most definetly gotten a sack instead they got a 20 yard gain!
