With all the talk about Daunte C. needing to be replace.

What about replace Zach on 3rd?

Zach is getting burnt in coverage every week now by the TE
Do Zach need to be replace on 3rd Down?

Hell no just don't put ZT in those position if you ask me.
Covering a TE,WR,or a RB have never been ZT strength
ZT is better in a drop zone not a man to man .

I blame this on the coach.

Zach did not get burnt on the TD catch, That was just an amazing catch
 
Yeah, the coverage was fine, in my opinion. You just don't expect a 2nd/3rd TE to make a one-handed diving catch.

your right

Zach got burnt when Ben Thorpe ran a crossing route and
Zach was playing the run as Ben made a run catch for about 20+yards

2X

So i'm not talking about the TD catch
 
as much as I love Zach, you do have to admit that in man coverage down the field, he is a bit of a liability..
now in zone coverage he's fantastic, as long as he can keep his head in the backfield...

but you also have to hand it to that TE, it was a phenomenal catch..

i was at a sportsbar and i had to watch the game from the other side of the place, so i couldn't always make out who was who, but if i remember correctly the Ben Troupe crossing route, didn't zach get picked in the middle by another WR?

Goodman isn't the safety

A: Zach had great coverage on that, it was just a great throw and catch
B: He should have had help over the top!
C: He is still one of the BEST MLB in the game.

nope ZT was looking for the Run up the middle.

And you could see ZT run after the TE 84 once he got pass ZT
but that's beside the point allow ZT to rush the pass or pick up the back
And bring in your nickle package

the only problem was Tennessee was 3rd and 2,3,4 most of the day

It was a mix up on a Zone coverage, and I believe Spragen was the one that screwed it up.
 
Guys I'm not talking about the TD catch .


number 84 had a great day but he didn't score a TD

I
 
zach should be a 1st and 2nd down LB, definitely should not be in on 3rd down. Horrible in coverage, and not very effective on the blitz/pass rush, so why is he out there on 3rd down. Let's face it Zach isn't as good as everyone thinks/hopes he is.

if you say so !

maybe someone with tivo could tell us what happen .

I say ZT had the TE but since it was crossing route maybe
but I think I'll stand my ground

I did, watch the play, Zach is coming in for what looks like a blitz, he looks left and sees (I think its Spragen still standing there), the ball is snapped and they both take off after the TE. But it seems clearly that Zach was ready for the blitz and the other LB was to cross into Zach's coverage.
