I really really really, and I mean REALLY, hate how we play such a soft zone. Today's NFL passing games are so heavily based on timing, the best ways to disrupt the timing are 1) get quick pressure on the QB and 2) press the WRs to bump them off their routes.

Maybe Haslett is afraid of doing that because our safeties aren't good enough on the back end to save the day in the event our CBs get burned on the release. Maybe Meriweather will make a difference in that regard, but I'm not holding my breath.
