..............to build a dominant defense?


This is what I think it takes to have a dominant defense.

1. A dominant tackle.

2. At least one shut down cornerback.

3. Safety that is great in both pass coverage and run support.

4. Dominant middle linebacker.

5. 2-defensive ends that are great pass rushers.

Obviously you can't have probowl players on defense at every position, but I feel if you have the type of players I have listed that you can make do with average players at the rest of the positions.

Maybe I'm overlooking something here. Does anyone agree/disagree? What do you feel our MUST needs are?

I think we are close to having that. IMO -- If we can get the shutdown corner and dominant MLB, I think would be well on our way to having a very good defense.
