The corners are in position to make plays, they just need to do it. Lattimore will get better as the season goes like he did last year. There's FAR too much talent there for him to continue playing poorly. He's a natural corner. I can tell he's not really in playing shape after a full game of watching him. He's still right there on his man though. It's a game of inches. He'll be fine. Once he starts locking down a side of the field again you'll see more turnovers.

It's the safety play that needs to be addressed, and it definitely can be corrected. We can stop these big, splash plays. Williams keeps trying to jump under routes for interceptions instead of being a FS and sitting back making sure nobody gets behind him. I'll keep saying it, I want to see how we look running 2-Man Under with Williams and Coleman at safety. I'd even try P.J. Williams next to Marcus back there waiting for anything deep. Honestly, I feel like Lattimore, Crawley, and Robinson are more than good enough man corners for our safeties to just sit back and wait for somebody to take a chance over the top. That's easy interceptions.

We should consider more Tampa 2 as well. Put Demario Davis at MLB and let him play the Urlacher role. He has that kind of speed and he can cover well. The safeties are still back deep on both sides, and the corner's play underneath. This is what I would try.
