It's apparent to me this team is rebuilding its defense. As of today's game, our Defense is only slightly worse than last's season Gregg Williams' version. I think our front office can have the defense mostly improved by next season, but it's rare a new coordinator comes in with current personnel and the squad makes a total 180, especially on defense. For this season, our o-line run blocks well, the pass not so much. The offense needs to concentrate on more ball control because we have the horses and the line. Otherwise Drew does not have time to throw. That's how we can make a run this season. I saw us run/screen on Carolina at will. Grind the clock and keep the opposing offense off the field. Our defense is NOT our strong suit. |

At A Fix Things Now Standpoint I Think We Need To Put Vilma On IR And Look For A Vet At LB and Or DL To Become A Leader Of This Defense While Its Still Early |

Re: Our Defense
We should trade our first round picks for proven, established players...
Because it's become painfully obvious that we can't draft anything but offensive lineman... What I want to know is - if it's not working with an old, slow Will Smith and a bust with Sedrick Ellis, then why aren't we giving some of the younger, faster players a start? Where is Martez Wilson? Where is Akiem Hicks? If we're gonna suck it, let's starting building with younger, less expensive options so we can accelerate the building of this new defense?!? And I'd like to see rotational play at the safety position as we can't keep oxygen on the field for Roman Harper or Reading Defenses for Dummies for Mr. BowTie-wearing G.Q. Wantanabe... |
It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...
