He gives up a deep pass every game. Other than that he plays pretty good. He’s gotta get that head around and maintain better position.

He is the worst CB through 3 weeks... that’s shocking, didn’t think he was that bad.

Yeah, Lattimore and this year's/last year's defense in one particular way is very reminiscent of 2009. Even in our Super Bowl year, that defense would usually give up at least ONE big burner play, every game, usually (but not always) in the 1st half. And then they'd settle down. Also remember last year the defense got much better as the year went on and people got comfortable in their roles. That is a characteristic of Allen's defenses that can be a little annoying, frustrating at times -- they get burned and give stuff up every once in a while, but when they dial it in, they usually get enough stops or big plays to win the day.

I'm not saying he's perfect, he obviously needs to improve, and fast But I do have a feeling this will come with time. Last year the defense was very spotty at the start of the year, and by the end of the season I felt very confident whenever they were out there.

My problem is seeing Klein trying to cover their fastest WR. That ain't never going to work.

Part of it is that dumb soft Coverage that DA calls every game when we are up. He does need to do better with his positioning and locating the ball when in the air.

Anzalone will be missed that is for certain.

Latt hasn't played well however all I know is that Hopkins, B Cooks/Kupp and Lockett are STUD WR's with mobile (minus Goff) QBs. Just be glad we won't have to face scrambling QB's such as Desean Watson and Wilson any time soon.

Anytime he plays in man, he's done ok. It's mostly zone where he gets picked apart.

I expect Lattimore to improve. He knows it.

Seems like they are playing a lot more zone this year than last. Am I wrong?
