Re: How excited are you to see the Defense this year!!
 

This is probably the first year in the Payton era that I'm more concerned about the offense going into the season than the defense. And that ladies and gentlemen is not a bad thing.

Re: How excited are you to see the Defense this year!!
 

should be pretty much the same stuff. except for players coming of IR. that should make it fun. drafted players? i want to see our CB in action and see how much he needs to learn. as for the rest they should upgrade special teams right away

Re: How excited are you to see the Defense this year!!
 

Whodat! Won't surprise me if we have the top defense for 2015

Re: How excited are you to see the Defense this year!!
 

I asked but didn't see anyone answer. I heard CBs coming out of the Nebraska system take a little longer than usual to get up to NFL speed. You know anything about that?

Why?

Re: How excited are you to see the Defense this year!!
 

Honestly, I'm more concerned about Cooks getting up to speed than Jean-Baptiste. WR's we've drafted early seem to need a "red shirt" year to get things going. (Looking at you, Robert Meachem.)

Re: How excited are you to see the Defense this year!!
 

I've always had the feeling when listening to meachem talk in interviews that he's never been the brightest kid in the class and the reason he didnt play his rookie season is because payton was unhappy that meachem couldnt grasp the offense - lining up in the wrong spot etc

cooks has played in a similar type offense to ours with the same route concepts, plus he seems to be a smart guy so I don't think he will struggle at all

Re: How excited are you to see the Defense this year!!
 

I don't know if he ever really got it going. I never much cared for his play.He was good enough but not the difference maker you hope to get as a first round wipeout.

Re: How excited are you to see the Defense this year!!
 

He is nothing like meachem. He is pro ready. I don't see many rookie WRs who are ready to contibute from day 1. Cooks, watkins and maybe a few more.

Re: How excited are you to see the Defense this year!!
 

Glad for the votes of confidence on Cooks. :smile:

Now, to answer the actual question of the thread, I am super excited to see this defense!!! Can't wait for the season to start!
