All of last year we were going to get it fixed, lol

Dline seems to be an issue but I really wasn't sure who played tackle

I know they are not going to be polished but come on, that was pitiful defensive play and it looked exactly like last season; no pressure and whiffed. Ryan better figure out how to get fire out of these twigs or else he will be fired mid season.

Greenbriar isn't the problem. It wasn't the problem last year and isn't the problem this year.

Greenbriar doesn't miss tackles, or leave a 20 yard gap between the CB and Safety on 3rd and long, or drop passes, or blitz 7 on 4th and 20...

Many teams practice in cool weather with no problems.

It was part of the problem last season and will again this year. Soft camp = soft team

Location has nothing to do with a camp being soft or strong.

We practiced exclusively in the Louisiana heat in 2012 and fielded the worst defense in NFL history.

Penalties suck

Posted this in another thread and think it applies here:

Why can't Payton just leave well enough alone when it comes to defense? One minute he's announcing we're switching to a 3-4 and hires an appropriate coordinator to run it. After one up and one down season he brings in Dennis Allen and we switch back to a 4-3 essentially making Rob Ryan a lame duck defensive coordinator.

Wanna know why we might suck on defense again this year? How about having a coordinator on his way out, a defensive assistant who is already affecting the scheme, and a head coach who is offensive-minded overriding both of them to call defensive plays. It's a mess folks.
