Our defensive backs are all on their rookie contracts. That's the biggest issue. Zero veteran leadership in the secondary. More draft picks won't make it better. We need Rodney Harrison in FA, again.
The LBs suck at coverage. Not one of them has a damn clue in coverage. Spikes is a good coverage guy, but he can't run with anyone. Hightower has the same issue. Mayo just hasn't grasped how to cover ****.
Mayo is the most frustrating of the three. He could have picked off that TD pass late to win the game. All he had to do was have a small amount of confidence in his DL and jump the route that he slid over to cover. He just didn't even try to stop that pass. Totally zone unaware.
The interior DL gets zero push in the passing game. Love and Wilfork (though, mostly Love) can't rush the passer, at all. Cunningham is decent 1-1 and so is Ninkovich. Obviously, Chandler Jones is beastly.
