The defense held them to 17 (7 was the result of the opening kick), was in the backfield ALL NIGHT, forced 2 INTs that counted and another 2 for TDs that were called back not because of Pendergahst.
I agree that the three man rush was at times perplexing, but ultimately that didn't cost them any points.
I think the problem is our CBs. I just don't think they're good enough. DRC is still getting very raw and Hood is just okay, IMO.
JMHO
Our big problem in the secondary is that the guys who can cover can't tackle and the guys who can tackle can't cover.

Clancy doesn't have enough balls to call a good game all the way through. He wets himself at the thought of what might happen if he becomes overaggressive. We need a DC who is not a coward, who is not afraid to call aggressive defense ALL THE TIME. It's crystal clear: when we really pin our ears back, good things seem to happen the majority of the time. When we play meek and scared packages, we get ripped. DUH! How about we don't do that? Well, we'll keep doing it as long as we have the ball-less Pendy.

Yeah, that's pretty over the line IMO. You don't like the way he calls the game, fine. Saying that he's a coward...lame.

Context is a wonderful thing. I was clearly not calling him a coward in life, but a coward as a DC. But hey, let's not let context get in the way of derailing the point.

This is the last I'll say about Pendergahst: He's a very good DC. We'll be lucky to keep him in the coming years.
his defense is completely undisciplined as seen with the worst penalities at the worst time, they've have been atrocious tacklers since he's been here, they've been ranked 14, 17, 29th, 8 and 12th for defensive rankings and we've given up an average of 23.2 ppg during his tenure. I'm not sure how watching this team or even looking at the stats can lead you to believe he's a very good DC. He looked like he had promise in 2004 but it's been downhill since as far as I'm concerned.

As much on the players as is it is on the coaches. You can teach a man to tackle, but it's up to him to wrap up.

If it's one game, or one season, sure. Now? Nope. The entire defense has problems with it at points, and they have for years, which makes it fall back on the coaches.

The Scouts Inc. guys were all just gushing over Pendy on today's ESPN Football podcast. They said, among other things, he'll be in line for HC jobs and that he's keeping coaches up at night. They liked the disruption he causes with the pressure packages and say that that kind of defense is hard to prepare for and could be a nightmare for teams in the playoffs.
Also, they gave props for AZ being a better team now then they were in September.

The D had a solid game yesterday. They only allowed points if we spotted the Seahawks the ball inside the redzone. Their biggest mistake was Dansby not taking a knee in the endzone after the INT.
Good gameplan. Good execution.

the only problem i have with Clancy is his prevent D. Its tissue soft. the three man attack doesnt work.
Other than that, I wish he would blitz AW and Dansby more. Good plays come about when those two are blitzing.
I agree, except that every time AW hits a QB now someone is crying foul and trying to get him suspended... I am guessing that Archie Manning is lobbying with Goodell already about the Hasselbeck hit just so li' Eli won't end up drooling soup...
