Here's something though: were the DBs just losing personal battles? It really didn't look like it to me.

No. The WRs were finding the open spots in the zones and catching the balls. When a QB has the time that Bradford did yesterday, they'll eat up a zone defense ALL day long. Zone defenses are dependent on the DL getting pressure on the QB.

The poor defensive showing is all on Haslett.

That's what I was thinking. I don't think we're BAD, you saw how we played last week. DBs (and the safetys) did a really good job.

But when you call soft zones and you're playing the DBs 8 yards off of Amendola, a guy who can make nothing into something if he has a little space, it's going to make the DBs look bad.

Exactly. The Giants had a piss poor secondary ravaged by injuries last year and won a superbowl.

Speaking of which, did you see Justin Tryon get embarrasingly beaten for a TD again yesterday? Last week Miles Austin, this week Mike Williams...

Yeah, he is in there as a third stringer. Thats my point though is that one of our cast offs is starting for them and they still manage to win. Because unlike Haslett they are able to adjust and scheme with who they have and somehow make it work - it surely isnt because of the talent (Tryon?!?) I totally blame Haslett.

IMO the DB's looked worse than they were because the front 7 did not win their personal battles.
