Why do you keep bringing those guys up? You act like these guys are all pros or something. They are good, and yes can be difference makers, but the two of them do not make up the entire personnel. They are probably the best two we have right now and both are only slightly above average. A lot of our other players might not even start for other NFL teams. With your logic a team like the Rams would be great because they have Steven Jackson.

No it's not because Steven Jackson is not the whole rams team and the saints D isn't the whole saints team. You seem to forget that we still have an offense. I can name 5 promising D players right now.

I saw Jabari Greer ranked as the second best cornerback in the league(second only to Darelle Revis).

Curtis Lofton was ranked as the 10th best linebacker in the league.

Sounds like they could be pros to me. And like I said, if the system works then we'll see these guys carrying the defense. And maybe a few other like Malcolm Jenkins, Will Smith, Hawthorne etc.

When did I ever say that these guys were our entire personnel? I was merely saying that acting like our team has zero good D players is just BS.
