Real question is, what does it take for the secondary to get better during the season? Or are they going to even get better? Cuz I see this secondary getting worked for the next 13 games.

They are going to get worked and the secondary will be priority #1 in the offseason. Everyone in the secondary that is up for contract renewal should be let loose or brought back at a lower pay rate. At least 3 of our draftees should be def backfield guys from the SEC. I am assuming 6-10 to 8-8 will garner a top 9-14 pick, so we should get a gamer for sure.

You do remember what we gave up for RG3 right?

I blame this 100 percent on shanny punting the ball away on 4th and inches. The stadium was rocking and we had all the momentum. Im listening to shanny rite now on the radio and they asked why he didnt go for it? His answer - he gave our punt team and our defense props? This guy has officially lost his mind.

If we went for it and didn't get it you would still be complaining. He was playing the field position there.

When you're a 5 and 11 team wth a secondary as bad as ours you go for that. 99% of head coaches are gutless play it by the book wimps. We have rgiii let him make a play. The d still would have had a chance to hold them. Ps RG3 is awesome. So glad we made that trade.

I agree with this statement,I dont agree with that call losing us the game,but I do think he should have went for it.Between that call and the descision last week to kick a 63 yard fg{which somehow he's remained unscathed with that shitty call,except from football outsiders.com}
Ive never thought he makes the right calls at critical times.Oh yeah,he pulled that timeout bullshit last week again on a fg attempt which backfired again
Only good descision he's ever made is drafting RG3.I wish him and Haslett would hit the road

We all the know the defense has weak spots in the secondary, and easy to blame them for our lose today. They did give us out first TD and caused a fumble with good field position. We has 2 three and outs at mid field in the 2nd half with the game tied.

8-8 at best now. Offense is very nice, defense sucks ass. I think Andy Dalton is a bona fide NFL starter and a pretty good one, but we made him look almost like an All Pro out there. Secondary should have been at least a #2 priority in the offseason at thevery least, and it better be a big #1 next offseason. Yeah the pick 6 was very nice, but still. We have no bona fide starters(including Hall) and no depth. Our #1 pick needs to be the best secondary man available whether it is a CB or S is irrelevant. Our offense is awesome finally, and now their efforts are going to be wasted on a rather porous secondary. Robert is better than Newton or Vick, and we have given him some nice tools to work with. We need Garcon back at 100% to at least open things up more for Hankerson and co. I am still upbeat about the way things are going, but man we need a decent secondary to get to the next level in the W column.

I love how D. Hall is the scape goat for people today. He was in tight coverage a lot with the best WR in the league. He shouldn't of been on lone islands with him, but it is what it is..

Defense has given up to many points. Jackson played well and I was impressed besides the few reverses he bit on.

RG3 Was good again for his 3rd game in.. If our defense could only stop teams half the time..

No NFL Receiver should ever gain 183 yards in a single game. I don't care if it's Jerry Rice in his prime or if it's single coverage on an island. 183 yards is unacceptable. This isn't college ball.

We know you dont like D hall. Its all on him.. Hes the reason we lost and gave Bengals 38 points. He was in man coverage when Green had the 70 yard catch.. Now that sarcasm is over..... Its not D Hall.. He just a DB in a weak secondary. Wilson was a hero coming in to this game, but got beatdown today. He gave up way more plays the Hall did

People need to open their eyes, but i guess its whatever helps you accept the loss.

In regards to D Hall this is what I said.

Truth is I agree that the whole secondary sucks. However right now the team is in cap hell and D-Hall has done nothing to separate himself from the guys making $2 to $3 million a year. He certainly hasn't justified the current $6 million cap number he carries. Also time and time again he's proven himself to be a liability in coverage with his risk-reward style.
