why is it that teams except the pats havent really tested seas smith?i mean i see how much votae davis gets picked on and burned but why? cause hes also learning to make plays little by little he has 3 picks already or is it just luck? gimme your oppinions maybe im blind
 
From what I've heard, Sean Smith usually has his guy locked down, we just don't see it on screen.
 
Davis had 4 ints...

The one yesterday was not great coverage by him but good hustle..

They both will have some growing pains..they are gonna give up plays...

Young made some great throws yesterday he beat us with his arm...I never thought that was going to happen..

Great throws beat great coverage 9 times out of 10...The problem is pressure IMO...

We need to get some better pressure on the qb....Most qbs have alot of time when we rush 4...Even tho we have alot of Sacks we are not getting the consistent pressure we need...

IMO i think we go after and OLB in the draft very early....Wake has shown some signs that he can be good...
 
I also feel that Davis is just way more athletic than Smith he has made some rediculous plays...The picks he has made were sick..

Davis is far more aggressive than Smith too..Davis seems to take more chances...

Davis gets penelized way more as well...

Smith seems to find the ball better than Davis..Davis has trouble turning his head to find the ball

so hold up...you say Davis has 4 picks but then you say Smith tracks the ball better? does that make sense?

I disagree. Yesterday was a case where Davis seemed to lose track of the ball and his footing as well. Sean smith usually has the coverage on his guy but fails to turn around in time. He has been in position to make several INt's this year but just never turns around.
 
Smiths guys are not open.....thats why they dont throw the ball at him as much....however just bc the coverage is solid doesnt mean the play on the ball will be as we have seen....yest and against the pats.....he seems to get outplayed for balls, even when coverage is good....remember hes still relatively new to the cb position
 
ive noticed alot of the time Smith gets beat deep is when the receiver makes a double move. Smith also seems to not be as quick to turn his head when the balls in the air. He has had opportunities for some INTs and to break up some passes but his inefficiency to turn and track the ball caused him to let up some big plays.
 
I think both of them will be fine in years to come, i mean these guys are rookies...sean smiths only played CB for a few years and theyre going up against alot of elite receivers and some future hall of famers, they will get better with time. They will learn the little things and improve as time goes on.

The Picks that Davis had were beacuse of his athletic ability...The first one he made was on Lee Evans ...It was an awful throw by Trent Edwards.. (was late)

Davis was not even out of his back pedal...The 2nd was against Moss..Davis was in great coverage Jumped Tipped the Ball and Picked it again great athletic ability..

3rd( Again great athletic ability on another jump ball...

4th (Good hustle tip drail scenerio)

Davis has gotten beat a few times when has not turned around to track the Ball... Against Steve Smith and Against Randy Moss..

I am saying that Davis makes up for lack of Ball tracking with Athlectic abiltiy thats why he has more picks...Plus he takes more chances IMO...

Smith has gotten burned a bunch of times...Tb burned him once..Jax burned him..(maybe Wilson's fault not sure) He got burned in the ATL game.. He was practically pushed to the ground in the NE game by Aiken( no call made)

Smith has been more consistent, Davis has been more of a playmaker...Highlight reel type guy..

This was the Knock on Davis coming out of the Draft

I agree with you here...Davis did do a good job yesterday..

the first Td he gave up was a perfect throw..The 2nd he slipped..

Bottom line is we need better comunication between the secondary..

We have had some blown coverage all around
 
we need a safety who can help out in coverage, it doesnt help we have Gibril who cant cover for ****...he doesnt give the rooks no help.
 
Davis makes more plays, but he gives up more as well. I agree with the highlight reel statement someone made earlier. His "better play" is misleading because teams throw at him more often. It's a situation similar to Nnamdi Asomugha, where he doesn't put up stats because he isn't tested as often.
 
This season is sort of a godsend for these young corners.. they are playing against the best of the best and learning from it.. the experience they are gaining is invaluable to their development.

Its sort of like the Miami Hurricanes in the 80's.. how could the offense NOT be good when it had to line up and practice against the best defenses in the world every day. You learn how to score and do well in practice and then get in a game situation against a team with a defense not nearly as good and blow them out.


Point is, hopefully this game time experience they are earning this year is something that they can learn and build from in seasons to come.

They are good now, they are going to get better.
