Coyle's secondary...back to the days of Bresh?

[3wt]

• I felt like our corners were giving too much cushion.   That might be part of the bend don't break nature of our defense, but they seemed to give an unusual amount of cushion.
• Tackling was terrible.   I'm wondering if both Jones and Dre have ongoing shoulder problems.  They almost never center their shoulder into the tackle and they are getting burned as a result
• Safeties have not played as well as last year.   I think they'll improve, and I'm glad to see Smith getting some reps (though he was burned pretty bad against Denver)
• We lost a significant # of dbs this year, and losing WJ3 was a big loss considering the lack of depth.  I'm hoping Dennard gets up to speed soon
• I think getting 55 back will eliminate the confusion in the defense.  Some of the really long plays were apparently the result of confusion in the secondary.  No way CLH should have been left without safety coverage
• I think Guenther makes good adjustments.  I just think he has a green crew
  

Positives:  Clarke, Hunt, Shaw, V. Rey.  Burfict returning will make a big impact, Dansby will settle into the defense.  This is happening at the beginning of the season.   I think we can hope for more
