I thought it was the defense that was the problem that needed fixing

with that said i like the attitude he brings but in no way can he run with the speed a true #2 in the NFL. now to get past Browner jam at the line is almost impossible to do. he is smart and knows right of the bat when he gets beat and will mug the guy before he lets him run free. that is acceptable in my book.

Like Byrd he is coming from the AFC and that is not saying much. His time in Seattle was against some pretty sub par passing offenses also.

Put him on Mike Evans and Kelvin Benjamin all game long and the odds are very good he will shut them down. put him on Jimmy Graham and get the same results.

speed kills and quickness is his weakness.

Dion Sanders said? i will pass on that one

i will say it again i love the attitude he plays with despite the flags. flags are not always a bad thing and almost all of his are smart ones. but to keep the flags at a min keep him away from speed and keep him on the possession type of WR.

that is how the pats used him by season end

Deion Sanders said Malcolm Jenkins was a safety because he didn't have the hips to play corner. We should listen to Prime when it comes to his position. The corner he raves about in this year's draft? Senquez Gholson.

I was hoping to see a lot more changes to the defense is all. I expected that White and Prob would be gone

id like to see us add another cb and 2 lb's.. I hated losing walker, that sucks

It is but going to a 60/40 run heavy offense we needed to ensure wr's were blockers first and also good receivers and that's why we added spiller. Cooks, Colston and Toon can handle the wr's just fine. Ellerbe filled middle linebacker and I'm sure we're not done yet on defense

The conerbacks alone will help with our passrush...
We just couldn't cover anyone last year for ****

We've got two big, tall corners who can press and tackle. That'll give us time to allow the blitzes Ryan loves so much to get there. Like Danno said, the talent is there. Jordan, Bunkley/Jenkins, and Hicks doesn't sound like a great DL to y'all? How about Gallette and a true 3-4 LB in Ellerbe on the outside. Ellerbe is really fast for a LB too. I think he ran a 4.6. If anything, we just need some athletic ILB's.

Offensively, I wonder if Lelito will be our new LG or if we're still looking. I wanted Barksdale to take over at RT. As y'all know, I'm not a Strief fan. I do wonder if we could move Strief to Guard and let Barksdale play RT though. Our RB trio is pretty damn deadly right now.

Strief at 6'-7 is too tall to play OG, especially with a 5-10 QB.

One thing NFL Radio gurus mentioned about Unger was how he concentrated on consistently staying low and keeping the DT's low since Seattle had a short QB. Its a perfect fit for Drew.
