They don\'t have to be star receivers to match up well against the likes of Ken Irvin and Keyou Craver. When Fred Thomas is lined up against Shaun Jefferson, Willie Jackson is going to have a field day across from Ken Irvin and Brian Finneran will make mince meat of Keyou Craver. I\'m just being realistic here. This year\'s team will have to score early and often to win. Our defense is uproven and inexperienced. I hope you\'re right about us getting pressure on the quarterback, but this year\'s line looks to be geared more to stop the run than to rush the passer (like last year\'s line). Hopefully I\'m dead wrong, but I wasn\'t wrong when I said the same thing last year.

I hope you are wrong too naparker. I think Craver is going to start the season opposite Thomas. I think he is going to surprise a lot of people. He is going to be the steal of this draft and will shut down the opponents 2nd reciever. The third reciever scares me a little still. With the experience he earns until Carter comes back he will be fine. I feel safe with Thomas and Craver on the outside

we still have hawthorne. i agree also that our defense is setup to stop the run but hopefully with them double teaming our two tackles it will give one on one for our ends. And i think the coaches now that we dont have much speed on the line with norman hand and jackson so we probably are going to have to blitz.
