1 Pass Rush 2 linebacker play 3 coverage by corners & safeties Basically the whole defense |

Re: Our Defense
We dont need a top 10 defense. We need an average defense that can hold teams to 20 points or less. The offense can still score even with issues they're having. Just goes to show how bad the defense is.

Give it until game five and I would guess we're going to see a vast improvement to what we see now. Now excuse me while I watch replays of the last two weeks and puke... : ![]() |

Re: Our Defense
We have a weak set of 4 down linemen. Watch the game tonight with San Fran. Their front 4 are lean, tall and evasive. 2 of our front 4 are fat and too slow.
If we got pressure up front no one would care about the DB's because they would not be depended on like they are now play after play. |

If we went out and blew our wad on DB's... heck if we had Charles Woodsen and Dion Sanders in their prime back there, we would not improve this D as much. Right now our DB's are stopping runs AND covering passes all over the field which means we're not stopping offenses at the at the line of scrimmage, nor are we getting penetration on opposing QB's. This problem goes back to BEFORE Gregg Williams with similar personnel. Just watch the game on tv tonight, the 49ers' DB's are NOT involved on every single play like the Saints. That's because they attack at the line of scrimmage. We do need to beef up the DB's, but first things first - acquire some d-linemen that can effectively attack the line of scrimmage. |
