TheBillsWillRiseAgain Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 I always had a feeling our secondary had an unwarranted bad rep due to the QBs we played early in the season. Brady, Cutler, Stafford. For awhile there we were in the bottom of the league in passing yards allowed. Now that we've faced some easier QBs to even that out though, the secondary has looked solid. We've gone from 26th in passing defense to 13th. We also lead the league in interceptions. Not bad.
26CornerBlitz Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 GeNO and Vick tried to get all of them voted all pro today. More significant tests (Rodgers and Manning) are ahead.
Max997 Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 Playing a rookie QB making his first road start followed by the mess that is the Jets will do that but thinking there has been improvement based on it is just being naive. The Jets for the most part were just awful today

Coverage has been great lately.

CJallDAY Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 (edited) to quote rich gannon I think he was calling the game.. "leodis mckelvin AND stephon gilmore are two of the best in the business" no doubt leodis is playing very well this year and gilmore has been about average. it is the hardest position to play in the nfl these days, so I guess that makes them two of the best in the league?

Alaska Darin Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 You act like almost every team in the league doesn't benefit from playing bad quarterbacks at various points of the season. Coverage has been great lately. I'm going to save my judgement for the All-22 because I saw a bunch of guys running wide open underneath and neither Jet QB was taking what was available. Brady would have murdered us in those same situations.
ProcessAccepted Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 I've been really critical of Gilmore this year but he played well against the Jets this week. What a great performance all round by the defense. McKelvin sure is playing at a Pro-Bowl level. Too bad that he wasn't awarded that interception. We're going to need to continue to build confidence and respect for the Pats game in NE. I've a feeling it's all going to come down to that last game.

That being said, I do like the play of the secondary. Gilmore, McLovin, Graham, Searcy, Williams, Williams, all have been solid. Aaron Williams mentioned something about miscommunication issues against the Patsie's, didn't like hearing that, but hopefully they worked that out. Edited October 28, 2014 by ricojes
