Tommie Harris, Tank, Alex Brown, Adewale Ogunleye, etc are the guys that are the key. Need layers obviously, but I agree with Jason here. I don't care if you have HOF's or not in your secondary, if a QB has 4-5 seconds to throw, corners don't have a chance. It all starts at the line Depends if Justin Fields is the QB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It all starts at the line Cover 2 is one of any number of defensive alignments in football and all the other ones require you to have the right players too (there are ZERO of them that work without a pass rush). I never understood that specific complaint about the Tampa 2, Bears fans just have some kind of collective trauma from the Lovie years where the defense had to always be perfect or they would lose games I guess. It's just right now, the Bears are using the worst possible combination. There are ways to try to help with a weak pass rush (man coverage, press, blitzing, etc) but they're just playing a lot of zone and giving the QB all day to eat it alive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you play 3 rookies in the secondary, some due to injury and have no pass rush, they most have to play zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Beast Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Bad play call on 4th down even if I was 70/30 on going for it versus the field goal. Fields also shouldn’t have been in the shotgun for that play in my opinion. After four games, Eberflus looks like a man without a job next year and Fields doesn’t look like the guy even though he played well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
