Whitner had great coverage. Offensive PI should have been called. Ponder made a horrible throw and got lucky

One on one's will go to the offense more often, especially PI. Gotta throw it for it to work though. Wish we threw it up a little more when there's one on one. I mean, it's not like we don't have Moss.

I am glad we don't do it often. Our secondary would get torched even more than they do now.

You know who was on him? Aldon. I've noticed that Aldon sometimes has trouble trying to keep up with TE's and RB's coming out of the backfield. Maybe its me, but I think he excels at pass rushing because he's strong and can bull rush anyone and once he gets to the QB he uses his length to get to the QB and wrap him up. When you seem him running down QB's, RB's, and/or TE's it just seems like they are just faster than he is.

They do blitz they just aren't good at it. Most of the time their blitzes are stonewalled.

In short we all undervalued Parys and the effect of Aldon playing the position for the 1st time. We just assumed Aldon wouldn't skip a beat when in reality he's more than likely to take a step back due to the learning curve. Aldon having to cover Rudolph was a great play call on Minnesota's side.

Are you serious? We completely dominated with our front 4 against the Packers and Lions. It wasn't our front 4 that failed us. Ponder was getting rid of the ball quick on Sunday and our DBs did nothing to stop it. Tarell Brown was a massive disappointment against MIN and he needs to step it up. Also hate me if you want, but Willis and Bowman had a bad day in coverage. Our front 4 was good as always. Doesn't matter how good your pass rush is if guys are immediately getting open.
Also anyone who said the Parys Haralson injury wasn't big knows nothing about football. It has a massive effect on this football team. Aldon has to stay out there every snap. Sealing the edge, not getting breathers, chasing down running backs downfield, covering TEs and RBs on play action. There's a ton of responsibility to that and anyone who thought Aldon would succeed off his talent alone was just fooling themselves. Aldon's been solid but our D would be so much better with Haralson in the mix.

if anything..it seems like our LBs' aren't as dominant. Like where is willis? has bowman completely passed him up? he's dwarfing him in tackles and plays...
