Is going to hit us hard. Cush has forced a couple fumbles, but lots of our recoveries have been on sheer carelessness by opposing offenses. Also, awareness is nice, but there’s not really any correlation when it comes to fumbles recovered. It’s about which way the ball bounces, and right now it’s bouncing in our favor.

I seriously doubt that it’ll keep up. This team needs to start forcing TOs, and that comes with better pass pressure. I don’t blame the secondary for that. Wilson and Reeves are capable of making a play if given the opportunity. Time for Mario and co. to step up and screw up offensive timing.

The pick of Cushing was my choice, before draft day over Mathews, so I have been blessed by his play and the fact he has lived up to the hype out of USC. The fact he has more int.‘s than our secondary is just awesome for him and just terrible for our hurting secondary. While I never considered D. Rob. the top corner even before his injury(he got burned too much then as well-for THE TOP CB in the league-according to D. Rob.) I had hoped he would come into the team and at least show up and try to make a case out of deserving of top pay. I have seen too many mediocore WR’s burn him and too many missed tackles out of him this season(when burned he has been helped by bad throws or QB’s that did not pick up the open rec.r in time to make a throw or D.Rob would have cost us some serious points!!!) The teams secondary has held in the games we have won but for the most part that has been against lesser talent of WR’s and QB’s; but even in some of those games there have been moments of complete break downs in coverage. We go up against a team with both WR’s/backs and a QB that can and will burn a weak secondary like the Texans in face off with Indy. I just hope they pick it up or we will see a game worse that the Jets put on us, next week and the following weeks of GOOD teams we will face for 4-6 weeks.
