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.

Anzalone will be missed that is for certain.

Not the way he was playing to start the season no he won't. Now if last years ANZALONE was planning to show up then yeah he'll be missed but that guy seemed to take the wrong exit for the season

Agree. Anzalone should not be starting and is mostly useful for spectacular plays every now and then in a pass defense or blitz.

Too many of the remaining plays he is a liability.

Team run at right where he was and is supposed to be. He often runs right into the trash. Robertson plays better.

Anzalone and S. Anthony are high ceiling "potentials." Don't care about potential - only results.

It's quite obvious that he was injured.
