Raji and Matthews are neutralized by double teams, chips etc while no one else can beat their man in one on one situations. The occasional Bishop/Woodson blitz does create pressure but it's nice if base defense did well. I don't think our secondary is bad at all. They have the skills and speed to go toe to toe with any offensive set. When no pressure is generated, it's hard to keep up with all receivers and there is heavy confusion in secondary maybe due to Collins' absence maybe not. "Correlation but no causation to prove that." The 2nd thing I have a problem with is run defense. We give up 4.7 yards a carry. That is not good. Tackling could be better at initial contact to limit carries to 4- yards would be nice. We get Ryan Pickett back to anchor a side of the line which should help immensely against the better OG/OT in the playoffs. If run defense can hold, even the elite QB like Brees or Brady are due to make 1 if not more mistakes against a ballhawk secondary.</blockquote>
