Weakest Link on defense.....

Dude he gave up one big play today to Nicks...other than that...he is the reason Manning was forced to go at Rogers all day. He was fantastic today.

It has to be Tarell Brown this guy get burned easily its like he's a mini me of Nate Clements but without the big hits............going up against high powered offenses in the post season is not going 2 cut it with him being on the field..........what ever happend to Spencer isnt he healthy enough 2 play now?.......is he in Harbaugh's dog house?

Why put in Spencer? I was always told, don't fix something that isn't broken.

Number 1 in scoring defense, nuff said.

And it was excellent coverage on the play too. We stupidly blitzed the safety on the play with no Aldon Smith on the field. The stupidest defensive play call of the day, in a day loaded with them. If we didn't call that stupid play, it would have never happened.

There's no one on our defense that I think is a weak link. Tarell Brown's given up a few plays, but you don't hear his name EVERY game, EVERY play. In this passing league, that's good. Every so often in this league of Bradys and Brees, even the Revis's will get beat, and the Giants have a VERY good quarterback, receiving corps, and offensive line. This was a dangerous offense and we made plays, and stopped them when it counted.

Our weakest link on defense isn't a starter. Its Reggie Smith. Anytime he's in the secondary and the pass is going deep he's a HUGE liability. He's descent on the short to mid range targets but beyond that.

I think Reggie Smith. It's no secret that this is an area we need to work on.

not to mention, on that safety blitz, goldson didn't hide it well and didn't time it well, either. manning knew where he was going well before the snap. horrible play call, horrible execution

I am not saying its Culliver, but they were picking on him all day yesterday. He gave up a TD and got burned a couple of times. He is a rookie though!! T. Brown and Smith are average at best.

Culliver needs to finish the play... he gave up on that throw to the endzone, even though he was in position to make a play on the ball, or at least play the receiver tighter.

Culliver and Brown are clearly the weak spots. There's no denying that our secondary is no where near as good as our front seven. Rogers is playing lights-out, and Goldson and Whitner are playing above average, but CB2, Nickel, and when Reggie Smith is on the field are easily exploitable by a good QB, and that's exactly what Manning did.

I'd like to see us draft a safety high up to replace Goldson, and continue Culliver's development. He had a great game against Detroit; he can chalk this game up to a learning experience.

Tarrell Brown by a mile. He's not very good. Gets beat a lot. I've no complaints with anyone else. Culliver was kinda shaky today but he's a 3rd corner in his rookie season. He'll get better. Brown's as "good" as he'll ever be.

Nothing to debate, here.

We need spencer to come off the bench, but it looks like he is in the dog house.

I screamed NOOOOOO when I saw the safety blitz coming. Why would you do that? Takes forever for the guy to get there...especially when the QB is in shotgun and he sees you coming. Aside from T. Brown, the only real complaint from the game.
