Right off the bat, there are, imo, three major reasons why, imo, changes need to be made to the Cardinals’ secondary this year.
- Budda Baker, Garrett Williams and Dadrion Taylor-Dermerson should be on the field for close to 100% of the snaps. Last year’s snap count percents: Budda-98.2%; Garrett-76.3%; Rabbit-23.7%.
- The coaches should come to the realization that the best string of defensive efforts this past season came when Garrett Williams, Dadrion Taylor-Demerson and Max Melton were on the field more often.
- If the coaches are still going to insist playing 60% of their pass coverages in zone, then they have to start boundary CBs who have the length, speed and level of physicality it takes to shut down their areas of the field.
