Our biggest weakness, no surprise

I admire his effort, but George Willson is horrible. Jim Leonard is even worse.

no, Jim Leonard's good- he got an INT on a horribly underthrown ball. That means he should be starting.

Wilson definitely struggled against the Patriots and he wasn't great against Jacksonville- I didn't pay much attention to him yesterday but I will try to re-watch the game and take note.

Watching the games.

Is ko Simpson much better? Imo he really isn't who knows how he will recover from the injury. But D-tackle should be a priority, and TE, and WR also. Maybe corner. Safety is a weak point but its not the priority.

While I like Leonhard's effort, upon further review, he stinks.

He's a Special Teamer, at best.

Wilson isn't as bad, but he's not great either. I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, because he's played safety for about 6 months.

I'm not going to critisize anyone from our secondary for the Pats or Jags game, when we couldn't generate any type of qb pressure what so ever. I think our DB's have been playing pretty admirably. Wilson and Leonhard are both young undrafted back-ups after all.

It would be nice if our highly paid DE's could help out a little more with some pressure.

Yes.

Ever since the first few games, teams have been picking apart Wilson back there. He just doesn't have the instincts to get to the ball before it's too late which is obviously not his fault. He's playing his hardest, but he'll need to show drastic improvement if we want to shore up our secondary.

Re: Our biggest weakness, no surprise

We definitely need to address the safety position this offseason. Even if Simpson comes back 100% there's no guarantees he's going to be anything more than serviceable.

As for Whitner - jury is still out on whether or not he's going to be a Ed Reed/Sean Taylor (RIP) type of stud.

George Wilson might actually be better than Ko to be honest. He's fast enough, has good hands, good instincts which may be helped by his WR insincts and cant hit like a truck. Next year Wilson will be competing for a starting job. The only time he gets burned is when Tom Brady is given coffee time in the pocket and plays catch with Moss.

just make sure you know where the DB are supposed to be in the cover 2 system before you start telling people that they are out of place.

Oh wait, wrong thread.

Re: Our biggest weakness, no surprise

I don't think Wilson's been that bad, considering the circumstances.

Re: Our biggest weakness, no surprise

Yes, Wilson and Leonard are horrible. Yes, we miss Ko Simpson.
