Eric Coleman should start at FS over Decoud.

Our Bend-N-Break Defense needs more Experience back there.

Moore is better than both, so he starts!

IMO, Coleman is Better than Decoud,

even though I like Decoud too!

Whats up with the Blitzing?

We are break-in anyway,

mind as well Blitz more!

Coleman looked awful slow last week when he took over for DeCoud. I'm not sure he's an upgrade.

Agree that they both looked poor. But if we are going purely off of their play this season, DeCoud has been the worse of the two. I'm sure this is something the coaches are discussing, but DeCoud is younger and under contract past this season so he definately has a leg up in a close race.

This year DeCoud has given up more big plays and been out of position more than anyone on our defense. Even when a CB misses, our defense is designed to keep one of our safeties between the deepest offensive threat and the end zone. This is not knee jerk, it's after 7 games. Coach would be perfectly justified if he benched DeCoud.

He would be justified but I think for the future Decoud is the better option. I like Coleman, and like a previous poster eluded to earlier this is a good problem to have. Coleman is solid but lacks playmaking ability. Decoud has more speed and playmaking ability just not the experience of Coleman.

I think the problem with Decoud thus far is he is looking more like a robot on the field. What I mean by that is he is not going with the flow and is just like looking tense on plays. Last year it was head first dive in to every play. This year he looks like he is like a deer in headlights sometimes. I expect him to be back to form after the Bye week and he can get some tape of himself broken down.

yup... Seem like Decoud is trying to do to much instead of just playing...

I would say this.

Coleman is better than DeCoud and Moore on the back end.

Moore and DeCoud are better in the box.

Coleman has looked slow since the injury in the PIT game but he knows how to play this bend but don't break.

Coaches need to coach up the young boys or put Coleman on the back end. We still have Brees, Rogers, Hasselbeck, Flacco, Freeman and God knows who in the playoffs. That's a load. Way better than what we've seen so far.

Better fix that back end cause it's been getting lit up by scrubs.

Agree with what's been posted. Part of the reason DeCoud looked so good last season was because he had Coleman making all the calls and getting everyone, including DeDoud, lined up. I want DeCoud to get experience and figure things out. But when it starts affecting the rest of the players on defense then it becomes too much of a hinderance to be justified. I honestly don't know if we're at that point. But hypothetically, I think we would have been better through the first 7 games with a healthy Coleman/Moore combo starting. Smitty said DeCoud was the defensive MVP last season, I don't think anyone should worry about him getting every shot to be our starter. My guess would be that he has to improve and take care of the back end, another game or two of giving up the big plays and he'll force coach's hand.

Thats the truth,

Made Wallace, Palmer and Knolb look like Joe Montana Jrs

and they suck badly verses any other team,

even the crappy Bucs.

I just want it fixed
