what a nice young D-Line

Jordan Jenkins Hicks

Could become dominant for many years. Jenkins was a great pick, didnt think he'd be there.

I agree. He is a big man that can move well. I like the way he sheds blocks. The Saints did a pretty good job tonight.

Going to be a young defense all round

Butler,Gallete,Martez
Jenkins,Vaccaro
Jordan,Hicks,Jenkins
Robinson,Lewis

Lewis is the oldest at 26

Loving the way it looks on paper. I can't wait to see how it translates! Is it preseason yet?!?!

I agree this COULD be a dominant group

On paper, I don't really see a weakness.

Several players are still unproven in our 3-4, but it really looks good on paper.

"-" Robinson I'd say paper-wise it looks promising.

I'm really interested to see how the guys who didn't get to start last year can step up in their new roles. But really, won't we consider anything under 7K yards given up as an improvement? I'd settle for a CB who lines up with a #1 receiver and decides to actually cover him during the course of the entire play.

Part of that was the zone scheme, so it wasn't all on the players themselves. But I'll give you there were definitely some missed assignments whether it be the initial coverage or the exchange of coverage between two DBs.

Oh no, I'm straight up talking Robinson deciding to let Steve Smith just run down the field after lining up with him and then deciding to cover the friggin' TE instead.

There's a reason why we say "In Loomis We Trust!" He damn sure proved it tonight... Well done boss!
