On Greer, it was not entirely his fault. On the route that which he got beat deep supposely, it appears like his responsibility was for the outside route and Oliver was responsible if he went upfield instead... which is why he broke on the outside and had safety coverage up the middle.

Come now... besides Revis, there's not many corners that can hang with Andre Johnson. Also remember, we were not putting pressure on Schaub.

Poor fundamentals all over. guys leaving their feet, guys trying to armtackle. Just break down and wrap up and let the next guy clean it up.

The fact is Greer should not be having to make most of the tackles, he missed a far share...but he is a CB. We have our front 4, that should A.press or B. stop the run. We have LB who need to cover when needed or stop the run. The CB keep the WR in check. Greer missed some that should have been stopped way before they got to Greer.

But the saints now have tape to watch, the entire team needs to watch over and over.

I understand Greer was covering Andre Johnson.....a difficult task, but he got abused. Tackling......he was atrocious. Dude was horrible. No excuses for his play fellas. I watched and instantly thought of Jason David. Ughhhh!!!!!!
