Is this a penbrook mult?

Not if Breeland finally rolls into town my brother :D

You ****ed the thread title up, its supposed to read...

LETS TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THE DEFENSE

Too many cry babies kept moaning, so I toned it down a little :D

Let’s take a closer look at Clays anus.

It's all about finding a solid #2/#3 after Fuller and Nelson. For the rest, this defense could be a borderline top 10 D. Call me crazy.

You have to find that CB though.

How many ways can you say "wart?"

Pretty much my thoughts on this D as well. We had damn well better hit on that second round pick we got for Peters.

Need to find 2-3 players after final roster cuts who can come in and play meaningful snaps.

I will say, however, that I think Sutton has kept a lot of his more creative blitzes under wraps and they also haven't pressed in man coverage nearly as much as I suspect they will. So we'll see.

Part of me watches them play this preseason and thinks, it sure looks like they're running a bunch of stuff that they haven't been practicing much. They look too lost for it not to be the case.

They've looked ****ing atrocious these past three games. But, would anyone be that surprised if September 9th rolls around and they pick Rivers off a couple times while holding the Chargers to say, 20 points? I know I wouldn't based on recent history...

I want Veach to bring in some players, but I also think we need to see them play a true game before we judge too harshly..

I like this year’s front 7 the best of any year since Houston was playing at his highest level.

Ford will inevitably get hurt or be unproductive and, for once, that’s okay. I really do like Speaks and Kpassagnon. It won’t just be Zombo backing up Ford.

The DL gives me optimism, because this should be Jones’s best year. Xavier Williams has looked good. Nnadi seems to get good penetration (giggity).

I think this is also the strongest pair of inside backers we’ve seen in a long time. DJ made the occasional play last year, but was a liability for the most part.

The secondary is just...sooo bad so far. I normally don’t believe one player changes things that much, but Peters would make me feel a ton better. He would upgrade every corner position. He would take the 1 spot, Fuller would slide to 2 and upgrade that slot, etc. Then, safety would be our only question. We could probably even pick up a vet to help out.

3 back up QBs killed our secondary. That's bad and it will only look better if our pass rush starts getting home. So far they haven't played together damn near at all except in practice so maybe there is a glimmer that we can stop somebody. Not much hope seeing how we have 6 straight good QBs to start the year. Rivers may throw for 500 yards on us.

I'm down with a Jones-Nnadi-Williams base defensive line. I think they'd keep our ILBs clean all day.

We really need Houston to be a star this year. I do think that he's finally getting back into top form, but we need that.

The fact that we're hanging our hopes on 2-3 people who were cut by other teams becoming difference-makers for us - just to perhaps be able to field a mediocre defense - really says a lot

We're going to need a ferocious pass rush to protect the secondary. Fortunately we haven't seen Houston and Jones much yet. And of course, I think T.Y. McGill is going to become a star for us in that regard.
