If you weren't worried about the defense, you should be now. Preseason or no preseaon, this defense has problems. The BIG problem is at cornerback. Dale Carter should be decent if not spectacular but after that there are problems.

Fred Thomas looked bad and I mean bad. Ashley Ambrose did OK at best but he's got problems.

You can blame the poor play of the pass defense on a lack of a pass rush, and sure, a good pass rush helps out greatly, and I only hope we have one because that's the only way our corners are going to be any good.

The positive thing about the defense is the run defense has improved GREATLY and looks real strong.

Word of caution though. I have been through too many preseason and have formed opinions both good and bad and when the regular season rolled around the weaknesses were actually strengths and vice-versa.

There is hope and I beleive the defense will be better than last year but the cornerback position looks terrible right now.

I've read the offensive concerns and I'm not worried at all. Repeat-AT ALL.
