OP you aren’t completely wrong, but you picked some bad examples to make your point.
1. This was an 8 second scramble, which in itself is nearly impossible to cover. But you are also missing 2 other points. First, their QB threw a no look pass. He literally looked to his right and threw to his left, completely freezing the d-backs. It was a masterful play by Carr. Second, the real mistake was in personnel. We had Moten playing D-end instead of someone who could actually have contained Carr like Lightfoot. Jason Taylor or Hetherman or whomever used that lineup made the biggest mistake.
2. That play was 2nd and short from midfield, and our DC expected ND to take a shot downfield so he dropped the cornerbacks way off to protect against the long pass. Maybe the cornerback left too much room, but again that is on the coach.
3. This was a bad play by our safety. No 2 ways about it.

They were fine, but they weren’t really tested downfield so the jury is still out IMO. The busted coverage late was awful timing, and the miraculous scramble drill no look pass was fluky. OJ got beat, but Fields was well covered so that’s just physics..it happens.
USF and UF both will take their shots, we’ll circle back then and have a better idea what we are dealing with before FSU and UL.

ND is 8 deep at DT. We’d have been absolutely fine against some ***** *** F-16’s.
literally first rule on scramble drill is plaster.. we had 8 guys dropping back but they had 2 guys wiiiiide *** open

I keep hearing this and although I've rewatched, I wasn't keying in on time. Did he have busts?

The corners played very well. The jury is still out on the safeties. A few missed tackles and they just weren’t tested much overall.

Safety/LB were my biggest concerns
They had ups and downs but in general they both held up. Unfortunately I don’t think the ceiling is very high for either room at the moment (maybe with guys like Fitzgerald and Wiley down the road) so they gotta just play clean football

There were breakdowns in the secondary,and you all know it. Don’t know if it’s players or coaches ( or both).
Carr had never taken a snap in college ,the crowd was loud and we shut down their running game.Yet Carr was able to put together several drives throwing the ball basically, almost brought them back.You can call it broken plays or whatever but it happened.
When they took the training wheels off Carr he performed well.He may be the next Tom Brady but I doubt it.
We will face good QBs and offenses in coming weeks and my hope is they get the pass defense fixed.

I dont think many bust but missed tackles by lowering his head early, I think first drive and running into chasing defenders because he didnt keep head up, I think also didnt fill alley and let RB beat him to edge one time.. He didnt have many opportunities to stand out but as a safety you got to be clean up guy and if you last line of defense your few opportunities will stand out

He was out of position a few times. He didn’t play terrible, he just didn’t have a great game.

This is why you don’t give them all day to throw the ball imo . You sit back in some prevent or Bend but don’t break defense people are going to get open . You rush kids with speed who can get the qb like lightfoot . Like the last drive we stopped them in . Didn’t rush more just kids who get to him
