My gripe is this. Even with the injury bug striking the defense, there is no way we should still have players not knowing where to line up and there coverage assignments. I can live with the mistakes of Lee and Harris, but to see veterans like Mayden, Benton, Carter, Davis, etc. play out of position or simply not knowing what to do is disheartening and down right a reflection of poor coaching and scheming.
Having played defensive back in college, I can admit Golding knows more football than me; However, this defense has no identity. Most defenses have an identity (i.e. blitz happy, coverage tricks, etc.) at this point, and our only identity is giving up 3rd downs.

Absolutely.
And maybe recruiting also. Besides being athletic, they have to be able to grasp our playbook, which Rolando McClain said was more complex than the Oakland Raiders.
We've been spoiled in the secondary for so long: Kareem, Mark Barron, Arenas, Dre, Millner, Ha-Ha, Eddie, Minkah, Humphrey, Jones, Levi Wallace, Robert Lester. The guys you mentioned aren't in their league.

The best thing they have going for them is sending #15 on a blitz ...hell 33 and 24 get back their but they can't tackle anybody when they do...not to mention 21. This defense is so average but we've seen that in the 8 games before this game.
