Heading in to 2017, the DBs were thought to be the strength of our defense, if not the entire team.  After failing to live up to the expectations a year ago, Reffett and Nate Brown should be feeling quite a bit of pressure to really right the ship in 2018.

I recognize that editing and small sample size play a large part of my perspective here, but in scenes of Beyond the Green when Reffett was coaching up the DBs on the sidelines, it felt like his schemes may have been too complex to allow players to play with speed and confidence.  This interpretation of their interactions seems to match the play on the field.

I'm hoping the staff takes a close look at how the scheme fits with the players on the roster and make the necessary adjustments this off-season.

Let’s just hope this year’s can’t-miss group (WRs) don’t underachieve like last year’s DBs.

In game adjustments?? Very lacking on the Secondary side of the ball. In this kind of scheme it seems run support is first among the safeties responsibilities and did not adjust to an over and under coverage on a reciever that continued to burn us! I think we will have more speed at the Safety positions which should help on coverage support!
