Damn Shanle and Harper they good players but they can't cover or catch s*&t.

It's almost unrealistic to have expectations for a defender to be able to play both DB and receiver. Do we expect a receiver to automatically make a tackle when necessary? Yes, but we don't sell them out if they don't tackle well. We all know the old saying that they play defense because they can't catch. It's true. I believe. Sharper had the "it" factor.

Even though Shanle's INT was no more a gift than the DBs that they didn't catch..just sayin...lol

I wonder if some of this is due to the change in secondary coach this year. I mean Dennis Allen was evidently good enough at the gig to earn himself a better job as the Broncos' defensive coordinator. Dropped INTs and too-big cushions on the receiver have been consistent problems this year, that were visible immediately at the very beginning of preseason.

Good post PINCH.

And SaintsBro, you may be onto something. Coaching matters.

Tackling/Hitting, Tip Drills, if we don't have this down yet - then it's time for some afterpractice time with da coach...

I don't think Harper has ever caught an INT, oh wait, he did, and got run down from behind by the QB of all things.
