absolutely agree with this. Benford, especially with his size, has real potential.  Dane was a starter from a big program (pittsburgh) and almost wasn't drafted - that says a lot.  I think he has a lot of talen but seriously lacks basic DB instincts....and....I think oyu either have that or you don't.  He was terrible the last 2 weeks and was burned for a last second TD yesterday (3rd and 1 with 32 seconds left) if Goff didn't badly misthrow a pretty routine QB throw.

 

Elam wasn't shown much yesterday because Detroit saw no reason to throw in his direction.  A top 4 of White, Elam, Rhodes and Johnson sounds great to me

Tre wont be ready to have a heavy snap count. 30 percent is my guess. It is what it is.

Agree's as long as the other 2 are completely healthy !!

So every pass rusher is wearing a boot and you think both of these guys can cover anyway?

Tough crowd

Benford came out of the game with an oblique injury and is week to week, so you get your wish on Benford I guess

Since Elam is still healing up from his ankle and struggled when he went in for Benford the last third of the game, I'm not sure the results be what you imagine there

 

Tre played 1/5 of the snaps (15).  He's going to ramp up, not suddenly replace a player, and when he does, it may be Elam/Benford he replaces, not Jackson.

 

Our secondary was playing much better when our DL wasn't down to 3rd string DE

Might be a hot take, but we should’ve resigned Levi Wallace. He’s not the fastest, but he’s superior in coverage to Jackson, Benford and Lewis.

 

They did offer him a deal and he said he was just about to re-sign with them when he looked down and realized he was wearing black and yellow shorts and this somehow was a sign from the universe that he should sign with Pittsburgh so that's what he did. This is all true.

Yep, and not only for his pass D in the middle.  He helps keep everyone on the same page.

 

Add Hyde being gone who also helped keep guys assigned right, it puts way too much on the CBs.

Hydes excellent positioning and instincts was a huge plus to the CBs.

 

Not having Edmunds out there has been huge. He makes such a difference in the middle. I know many expect him to rack up big sack numbers and picks and all the splash plays, but he's just a steady, consistent presence in that defense. He has a quite a few TFLs this season and had been flying around pretty good out there until the injury. I'm in the camp that says pay the man. They've spent five seasons bringing him along and he's still just what, 24, 25? He's also been a captain three seasons running and the QB of the defense since his rookie year. I'd like to see him stick around.

GREAT Strategy.  Play two players that are coming back from injuries and completely ignore the others.   Put the whole load on them.  That will work.

Umm. Nope.  Rhodes and tre split time and Elam could have played more and they thru him back out in second half.  So. Ya.  That's the plan.

Not only did we make Wallace an offer, but we would have made a competing/winning offer had we not gotten dicked around by McKissic in Washington. Beane was very upfront and transparent (read:pissed off) that had they known McKissic was going to stay in Washington, and had they known Washington was going to make a matching offer, he wouldve spent those resources on bringing back Wallace.

I like Dane more than most and I was crying when he said that.  The kid is usually in great position.  He’s actually been really good in coverage.  It’s just his ball skills have been all time bad.  On passes targeting him while his back is turned to the qb, I can only remember him turning his head one time all season.  I think it was vs the Browns.  He broke it up.  
 

I think Romo was on the right track, but maybe a bit overstated.  If he can learn to turn his head and play the ball, he’ll be a very good corner.  It’s a tough skill to learn and excel at or there would be a league full of great corners.

He is just too small. He loses all the physical contests, 

But I heard Tony Romo call Jackson, and I quote, "a budding superstar."

[Dr.Sack]

Nowadays, color analysts wanna talk like they got somethin' to say

But nothin' comes out when they move their lips

Just a bunch of gibberish

And Romo’s act like they forgot about Tre.

Son, I'm heading for my 7th decade and this 50's - 60's comment is part of me. Not to mention, whether it suits you or not, it still applies. Have a good one.

Rhodes has been unemployed in a passing league. Unless you're planning to turn back the clock to 2014, I'm not sure he's going to be the upgrade you think he is.

This combination of Key Players certainly affect the young ones and less experienced players we have been fielding lately

 Good points

 Not sure why we dont see more over under coverages at times
