How are we going to fix it?
Getting a pass rusher or two and a scheme that doesn't involve so much soft zone is a start.
Get better and improve and make the most of our opportunities.
for starters, get a better d-line. The fact we seldom get pressure on the quarterback means he has lots of time to make good throws and pick a secondary apart. Given enough time, any NFL quarterback could/would pick apart any secondary.

FTFY.
People who blame the secondary don't see the lack of pass rush. Ryan had DAYS to throw on third down and it's been a problem all year.
You take out Marks and don't have your 3rd overall pick DE and that's what happens. The DB's can only cover players for so long, no matter who they are.
When we draft a CB in round 1. And when we draft a FS in round 2.
We don't need Hargreaves tho

House couldn't cover anyone for 3 seconds today, he had a bad game. Julio beat him like a drum today. We got pressure for 3 quarters, Ryan completed a lot under pressure. Matt Ryan was on his game with some great recievers. We needed BOTH a better rush in the 4th quarter and for a corner to turn around and look for the ball once in a while. Maybe a blitz once a game might help as well.....

We need players at every level of defense.

Sorry ,sounded like JW there.
We shouldnt have had Jones 1 on 1 all day... who does that.
The scheme is terrible, but pass rush is a major factor. We're going to need to pick someone up in FA or in the first 3 rounds of the draft as well as a CB and FS. I'd prefer Berry or Gipson than a rookie at FS personally

He was hurt this season. But we will have him next year...along with Marks.

He'd be gassed too. No pass rush makes Deion look bad.

This is true, but we're going to get Marks and Fowler back along with some FA's and draft picks. This will surely fix our pass rush problem, and that's why I think we should take Hargreaves or Ramsey in the 1st. We need clutch play-makers in the secondary, and both of those guys are.
Jags secondary >>> Jags pass rush
