How about this. Even with Wilson seemingly taking a step back and the safety issues, our secondary entered the season with accolades of being as about as talented as any in the league. And yet through 9 games, how many contested INTs have we seen from them? INTs that weren’t terribly thrown balls essentially right to one of our defenders. How many times have one of our guys just jumped a route or broke on a ball that they were near?
Outside of Elam in the end zone once, Davis’ first pick against Uk and his one handed against Aub, I can’t think of any. There may be others I’m not recalling at the moment. But it seems that the only time we’re getting picks is when there’s a miscommunication by the offense or just a dreadful pass basically right to us. Thinking back over the years, I’m not sure I can ever remember so few of those type plays as we’ve seen the last 2 seasons. There’s just no confidence that I see out of the secondary.
