what are you talking about? both Boldin and Fitz kicked our butt last season. Even Breaston ate our "secondary".
Fitzgerald had his 2 worst games of the season being covered by nate.
I apologize on behalf of Mr. Clemens for being unable to cover more than 1 pro-bowl receiver per game.
hahaha well played. Having watched the games though I think our secondary did pretty well against them, especially compared to how poorly the Card's receivers were covered in the playoffs. I remember watching the playoff games going "HOW IS FITZGERALD THAT OPEN?!" I don't remember asking that when they played the 49ers.
Lewis is great in run support and is a very smart safety, however he doesn't have the speed or athleticism to be very good in coverage anymore. In his prime = pro bowler, now = solid starter. I still think Clements is the best guy in our secondary by far. He allowed the Madden '10 cover boy to get a whole 42 yards on him. I can live with that.
