Well Tramon Williams had his 1st good game of the year.
Without looking up the stats I have a really hard time imagining there's a worse 3rd down defense in the league. To consistently see receivers running free through this secondary is so painful to watch. Week in and week out it's the same issues, the secondary isn't covering anyone and there's no pass rush getting home to cover up for it.
It's amazing to me that it's constantly the same issues. Either the coaches do a piss poor job of communicating what needs to happen, or the DB's have no idea of what the hell they're doing out there. IF it's a big 3rd down I just get a bad feeling in my stomach, and they won't be getting off the field.
Curious what game you were watching yesterday.
Giants were 4 for 14 on 3rd downs yesterday, that is 28% and would have Giants at 31st in league in converting just above Jaguars.
And the Giants we're also 2 for 2 on 4th down. Let's also not forget the 12 men on the field penalty that extended a Giants drive.
I have a really hard time imagining there's a worse 3rd down defense in the league.
So they didn't let the giants convert that many 3rd downs, but after watching them for the past few seasons, I think it would be hard not come away with the impression, that this defense has trouble getting off the field when it counts.
It couldn't be the players. Gotta be the coach.
But thankfully the Vikings coaches are dumber than shit. Why that have Ponder do anything other than hand the ball off is beyond me. he even fucked that up a couple times yesterday, turning the wrong way, stumbling, fumbling, etc. Putting him back to pass actually allowed us to sack him a couple times.
Something will change with this defense if does not improve significantly.
We've been saying this for 3 years now
