Do we have the worst defensive secondary in the NFL?

[Oviedo]

Except for Troy and Ike we have no one who can even cover a bed with a blanket. Talk about scraping the bottom of the barrell, we have Anthony Madison playing DB is critical game situations. He has to be one of the worse DBs in the NFL regardless of what he does on special teams.

Resigning Ike has to be priority #1. Plus we need to draft a CB and Safety early. I think our secondary is the weakest unit on this team by far.

BTW--the rest of the NFL knows it too which is why they are attacking us through the air.

We do ok when there's a pass rush.

More Worldis would help.

Imagine the Troy, Timmons, Worlids blitz.

Oh and Troy had coverage over the top on the TD pass. He was as lost as BMac after 8.5 seconds.

But LeBeau "the Genius" is taking Timmons who is one of our best blitzers off the field on passing downs and putting Madison on. Wonder why there is no pressure on the QB?????

Yes, and on another long pass, Troy hung BMac out to dry. Troy tried to jump a route and left BMac stranded between two receivers. He had little chance on that play.

BMac is a poor corner, but this was not his worst game (neither of the long passes were his fault).

I do agree that db and oline can easily be upgraded in the offseason.

I can't agree... there was that "tackle" he attempted on Boldin on the 60 yd rec and an asinine PI on Mason, amongst a flurry of other penalties and blown coverages. It was bad.

Secondary was great last night, save for a couple bad lapses and a horrid performance by BMac. Only an idiot trying to stir the pot would criticize them for last night. :P

I thought the coverage in this game was better than it had been in the past ... even with the BMac struggles. Even so we are very erratic.

I am a big Ryan Clark fan but evidently last year wasn't an aberation. Even with Troy playing he seems to be a step slow in coverage and never plays the ball. He is always looking for the big hit and has missed many interceptions by doing that.

Between BMac, Gay, Butler and Lewis I hope we have one good DB. The problem is we have seen three of them and haven't found one yet. Although I still have some hope for Gay. I think it's time we bring on Butler and see what he has. I don't think it can hurt.

To answer the question as it was asked, no We dont have the worst.. Have you seen the Redskins?

We only gave up 10 points to a hot team.. A few big plays yes, but only 10 points.

Ryan Clark has 6 picks in 60 games for the Steelers.
He is not that fast and I believe hes the weak link in our secondary.

Exactly- They have too good an Offense to only score 10 points. The D must be doing something right. I don't care if our secondary has the worst stats in the NFL (which they don't), if they're keeping points off the board the D is successful.

If you listen to Derrick Mason and read the Baltimore newspapers and blogs they have a poor offense that is grossly underperforming.
