They have to evaluate the talent they have acquired and must adjust the scheme to the talent. Not the other way around. That did not work in 2007 with David! Good front 7 pressure will mask most ineptness with the DB/S. IMHO |
Insanity is defined as doing the same thing over, over, and over again...and expecting a different outcome!

Regardless, there's been at least one thread about it.
In my opinion, FS (Bullocks) is the weakest position on this entire defense, followed very closely by LB (Shanle). Only after them would I list CB and DT as weak points. MLB would've been in that list too, but we've got Vilma now. And CB would have been higher, but now that Gay is in the mix, I feel a little better (only a little). Anyway, I think Bullocks has got to be replaced (highest priority). You know, I only feel good about ONE position on this D, and that's defensive end. |
can anyone help me id this tune? it goes thwap thwap boom tch boom tch boom tch.

Re: $30 million mistake?
i havent liked bullocks for about 2 years now.. he is just horrible in pass coverage and love to bite on playaction which leaves our CBs open deep when they are playing a soft coverage

Re: $30 million mistake?
Were there any CB free agents that fit our scheme. I can't think of any that came from a man to man defense. Maybe Florence.

It's the same thing as the Jason David scenario.....You take a nickel corner off a zone coverage secondary from a team with a heck of a pass rush, send him to a team whose pass rush has been mediocre at best, & you expect him to start while playing man to man? Something about this says "catastrophe." |

Re: $30 million mistake?
There weren't really any in free agency. However, there are teams shopping some good ones for trade.....DeAngelo Hall.....Lito Sheppard. Hello, Loomis!!!!
