Can we not waste all the champagne on week 2 against the Browns?

Crawley actually played better than Lattimore, that 47 yard td wasn't his fault that the safety didn't cover up high. His job was to cover underneath

What coverage was called?

Cover 3 or prevent. It's used not to be beat deep leaving a void in the middle

Great improvement today by our LB’s. Davis, Te’o and Klein did a fantastic job.

Terron Armstead also deserves lots of praise. He shut down Myles Garrett. Glad to have you back Terron!

Yes. Our LBs were in position to make plays. Nolan must've embarrassed them in the film room all week.

Hopefully the linebackers build on that as a group. KLEIN looked a lot better from game 1. It's probably just me but Anzalone guesses a lot. Not sure why he gets snaps over Craig R.

I know it was just one game, and after last week big numbers put up) but Brees appears to be loosing his sense of pressure. He just stands there unlike in the past, he would be bobbing and weaving all over. I still love the man but this is something I have noticed.

After some thought...

Our problems are centered on two things.
1. We can’t run block, has nothing to do with Ingram. The line is creating no running lanes.
2. Our Safeties are a major problem. Williams might have had a pick but he played poorly for the first two games... sad part is he’s the best safety we have. Bell and Colman have been very poor, consistently miss reading and getting beat.

Running lanes were there. Gillisbie and Williams simply can't hit the hole with burst/authority when necessary. Ingram will illustrate this in week 5.

As for Marcus, he played about as well as one could play at the position in game 1 with the amount of blown/busted coverages he was having to clean up. Remember that bomb & subsequent score Desean had ? ...that was a cover 3 where the deep zone LCB jumped an intermediate route.

Williams had to run from a whole other zone hoping to catch a WR & he's supposed to be at fault. I think even a player of Earl Thomas caliber will give that one up. The INT he had today actually saved our a** and gave us an opportunity to put points on the board.

I'm just not down on him as much as others after week 2. Marcus is still trending in the right direction but others (Crawley/Lattimore) must do their job.

Huge test for the secondary next week.
