Our linebackers or NOT VERY GOOD. Fujuita is OK, but Shanle and Simoneau are not physical and they are very slow. It's not rocket science, we can't stop the run because we don't have good LB play.

I have no confidence in our ability to stop anybody.

I'm always on suprised when we "make a play".

The bend but don't break....but break anyway style is getting old.

Our defensive team speed is SLOW.

Gary Gibbs plays waay to much man to man for the personnell we have.

We need a defensive LEADER! Trotter woulda been nice.

But i'm glad tha Harper is back...He can make plays!

I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN THE DEFENSE OF THE DEFENSIVE COACHING STAFF.

but i'ma watch and cheer like there is no tommorrow.

The best conerback tandem in the league reside in the N.O.

Can our D improve? Yes, as Hollis Thomas gets back in shape.

H. Thomas is one of the keys to our defense. He seems to be the only DT whose presence consistently helps the LB's. We can hope he will get more playing time as he gets back into game shape following his less than stellar off season. I don't blame the coaches for not playing him enough--he wasn't fit to play full time against the Colts.

Yes, you are correct, sir.

Sounds familiar, go on...

I heard it called the break but don't bend D the other day.

So you're saying that good cover corners and LB's with the speed to cover fast TE's like Dallas Clark are what you need to play a pressure D with a lot of Bump and Run man?

He's old and gets injured a bunch, though. Why would we sign a guy with great leadership ability who has been so close to winning it all only to fall short that has gas in the tank and now a huge chip on his shoulder?

The only "real" player outside of the D-line, IMO. (okay, maybe MM)

Caddy nailed it. The LBs suck. They overachieved last year (and that's not saying much). The only starting caliber LB they we have is Fuji and he is not making any trips to Hawai'i any time soon.

I try to not question the coach and FO's moves much, because I know it's a tough, thankless job, but I've had a few beers so...the Meachem pick...really? He may turn out to be the next Marvin Harrison, but you've got a year left in Horn and two quality guys in Henderson and Colston. Seriously guys...why not Posluzny, Houston or even Branch?
