Also people complained about them not playing man coverage but keep in mind when they finally switched to man coverage Bradford beat us deep.

The sad truth is for this defense to work we need to be able to get a pass rush going. This secondary is not good enough to play man to man coverage.

This. This. And this.

No secondary, whether man or zone, can hold up with no pass rush. And even without Rak, our front 7 should have dominated that weak Rams line. Our front 7 players should be ashamed by their performance (or lack of it) yesterday.
