I think WJ3 looked ok in coverage, but just didn't look like he feels he gets paid to tackle.  If you're running that much nickel, your CB's have to help in run support.  They converted a 3rd down early when they got stuffed at the PoA and the RB bounced it outside and Jackson was way too late coming in to seal the edge.

You hit the nail on the head...and I said it last week...teams will adjust to attack us now that we're on tape. And they're doing it.

Pratt did play some, but he didn't show up on the stat sheet.

Honestly, our draft picks have been questionable for the last 3-4 years. At some point, we need to start getting guys who can produce. Other teams get rookies who put up stats Year 1. We need that!
