It happened on the offensive side of the ball in a single year. It can be done on defense. Not every position needs a pro bowler. But you need a squad that works together to achieve the goal.SFIAH

i love it! cant agree more!!

i think we agree more than we disagree.....draft all defensive players!!! i am all in, again my only point is that our defense sucks and will smith is not gonna make the diffence all by himself. he can be replaced, before we break the bank on his new contract lets look at options. we cannot pay him the kind of money that c grant is making and expect to bring in other players for the defense while remaining under the cap all at the same time

look....we agree, we need some defensive players! many of them! we cannot win without some playmakers on the defense. that does not mean we need the defense of the decade to win ballgames. we dont even need the best defense in the league for the year! (you say top 5--i agree) we just need some competitive players and good coaching that will allow our OFFENSE to win the ballgame for us. anyway....nice talk, i see you know your stuff anyway!

I wanted to come back and apologize to procto. I misread his point in his previous post comparing other SB winning defenses to the top defenses like the 2000 Ravens. I thought he was saying that the Rams and the others were "not that good". But I see now that he meant relative to those #1 defenses.

Sorry again.

Alright people look at it this way.

If we shore up some defensive areas in FA and we can get him for a 2nd NEXT year would be great. If not then I am worried about pending a first day draft pick on a player that is not as bad of a need as defensive players are. However there is no way to be sure that whoever we draft in the second round would even start.

We do not know what the FO is thinking, if Meachem is going to be good then we are fine and do not need Williams. With all the weapons we have Bush in the slot, Moore, Copper, both TE's I think the pick can be spent better elsewhere, unless we can do a lot in Free Agency.

Someone said we have a lack of depth at TE. Um, NO we do not. Eric Johnson and Billy MIller are both very, very good TE's. Not great mind you, but they are very good.
