DRC getting owned

[Shane]

Really being taken to school today. Penalties. Passes being thrown on him with ease. We need to rethink what we have in DRC. He is absolutely not a shutdown CB.

 

[cardsfanmd]

Agreed, I have never rocked his jock like many others. He plays w/ too big a cushion and doesn't tackle. Then when he gets mad for sucking, he commits penalties.

 

[cardsfanmd]

Bottom line though, I said it when we promoted him and I'll say it again, Bill Davis blows.

I like him but his lack of tackling is horrible. He needs to work on his strength. Teams know he can't tackle and take advantage of it.

Tell that to Fitzgerald

His coverage skills are lacking too. I will forever laugh at any who suggests we use him to shut down a teams #1 and put him on an island.

DRC is lazy. His work ethic and film study are the things that are keeping him from being elite. One big problem with having speed is that it can lead to a lack of technique. DRC has poor technique because he trusts his speed to allow him to catch up.


Disappointing.

Couldn't agree more. Dude has no heart. Typical CB prima donna. Wants the glory, but doesn't want to do the dirty work.

DeAngelo Hall 2.0.

 

[az1965]

Agree... he has so much potential but I guess got to the top too fast.

It would help if DRC didn't have to cover for eight seconds on every play.

You got that right.

 

[D-Dogg]

The entire defense looks like crap...I think I could get 3 YPC on these guys right now.

Plenty of tape with quick three step drops being completed on him to refute that. He just isn't a shutdown.

geez d=line has to get some pressure for any cornerback to play up to his potential anyone who thinks drc isn't top ten in the nfl hasn't been paying attention

I can buy that... the Falcons have 6.8 ypc right now even when their #1 did not play most of the 2nd quarter.

Toler getting owned too

 

[Renz]

I thought DRC was fast? On 3rd-and-1 he plays 6 yards off like he's afraid of being burned deep. Isn't that what his 'great' closing speed is supposed to counter?

Yes.

Heck sometimes DRC has 10 yard cushions.

 

[freebyrd]

i believe toler just gave up that td catch 31 to 7 nice play by drc on the previous play so they decided to go away from him on the touchdown pass

yeah drc sucks he's only an all pro

 

[Rats]

Defense really needed to show up and make a statement. Guess the statement is we suck. They needed to carry todays game. They have been weighed and measured. It ain't pretty.

 

[earthsci]

...he's only an all pro

Not true. Pro Bowler. Not All-Pro.

 

[freebyrd]

laugh all you want shane i'm not one of your sycophants

Don't worry I'm laughing plenty. You can try and blame his poor play strictly on lack of pass rush all you want. I know it doesn't help. But he is just plain sucking and pass rush isn't the only culprit.
