When one player seems to drop off look at the player.
When every player starts to drop off then look at the coaching.
Jackson is a damn good CB. Kirkpatrick is better than most people give him credit for. Bates can be a good safety. Dennard has not lived up to his first round status, but he is not bad.
Jackson missed a preseason game with an injury and then missed the second half of the Ravens game (week 6) and the next game against the Jags with a shoulder injury. Kirkpatrick was lost for the year in that same Ravens game, and Dennard missed the first 6 games recovering from a knee surgery. Injuries have obviously been a big part of the problem, but I still see coaching as a major issue. Most of the big pass plays seem to be the result of "blown coverage" more than players just getting smoked one-on-one.
