Pff ranks secondary 24th. Hard to argue.

Maybe right but I rank PFF last.

They have issues with indivudal player grading but their overall rankings of units are generally accurate.

yeah and why might we have struggled last year, oh right look at our DC, look at no pass rush, no nick, look at no fred, hmm might that have impacted the D side of the football any, probably not right

look at lenoir he's a stud, stout showed out and so did malik when healthy he's back healthy, pff is rear view looking at a disaster season for our front seven and they bake that into their number front seven will be dramatically better this is obvious

They must hate our corners since according to Jayir Brown he alone is a top safety in the league!!!.

Probably be top 10 if we actually had a decent safety.

I like their CBs and think it's a very solid group. The safeties not so much. Fingers crossed MM can regain rookie form and Sigle makes a leap

I'd say the 2023 secondary was better when healthy.

Ward and Lenoir at corner
Hufanga and Gipson at safety

The pass rush in 2019 made a lot of those guys look better. It really sucks that we found a really good safety in Huf but he just couldn't stay healthy enough here to invest big $ on him.

Right now it just feels like unless Sigle can find a way to be consistent we don't have a real FS out there.

Tho I felt like how the team approached this offseason/draft they may be looking to next year even tho they added some older guys back to the roster. Hope I'm wrong and this secondary steps it up come real games.

I don't recall training camp reports from those days but I feel like Eman came out of nowhere in 2019 and we didn't know what we had in Huf until 2022 and Gipson came out of nowhere(didn't even make the original 53)

I listed the 2023 secondary a few posts later; he asked me to name one, that was too easy. I agree it's a toss up between 2019 and 2023 for me too, but I just went with 2019 cause as a whole the unit was ranked a lot higher.

Eman certainly did not come out of nowhere; he came in as an UDFA and was making plays/a name for himself from the beginning. A few of us knew it was only a matter of time before he takes the starting job. Huff; I was the biggest homer on this board, I knew what we had in him and was arguing about it the from day he was drafted.

The pass rush making the 2019 secondary look better is a true statement; but also a disingenuous one. The secondary most certainly helped them out all the same. Coverage sacks don't show up in the stat sheets

sherm was washed for us he got accolades on reputation more or less, moseley probably most famous for getting out of sorts on the 3rd and 15 back breaker, we all know about tartt costing us a ring potentially, those aren't good secondaries imo, the D front made the 2019 D good, and 2022 was nick / fred the front seven and huf was pretty legit, but the secondary always had warts, secondary led this D last season with no bosa and no fred we haven't had a corner as good as lenoir sauce cost 2 ones lenoir is better imo

Brother there's a reason nobody agrees with you lol. If it helps I hope you're right and the rest of us are wrong tho!

Now guys, let's not lose sight of the salient point here: nobody agrees with Faithful.

on what point do you not agree
sherm was obviously better with seattle, i think that's widely agreed upon
moseley effed up on the big down, that's pretty much factual
tartt blew it that's factual and we all saw that play

do you take 2019 sherm over prime lenoir? i don't

that's the spirit, that's the message i give to our defense this season, just stop
CB group is top 10
Safety group is bottom 5

So the solution is to go with a 4 CB and 0 Safety defense?

Brown + mustafa might be worst starting duo in the league. I don't follow a bunch of other teams but hard to imagine many worse.

Such a bummer we've done nothing to improve safety in years
