This. First, this defense has played with a lead and an offense that sustains drives like what, 3 times in the past two years?

If people are expecting us to become the defense of Greg Robinson because of Sutton at DC, they are mistaken.

I hope everyone is correct in their assumption that Sutton means sticking with the 3-4 in a one gap style.

It will save literal years in development, what a waste of time that would've been.

It will actually speed development of our DL.

Its not a sexy name staff but its very solid.

i like the hire of Sutton and the entire defensive staff minus the 400 year old d-line coach

There's quite a bit of talent on the defense too, which wasn't the case during the DV years.

I like Gibbs at LB coach and Thomas has always been a good DB's coach. His work with Flowers and Carr prove that.

Sutton doesn't excite me though. I hope he gets these guys to attack, attack again and then attack some more.

there's like 4 good players on defense if that

Amen, brother. Regardless of what happened last year, I think this D is close to being a damn good 34 unit.

Tamba Hali
Justin Houston
Eric Berry
Brandon Flowers
Derrick Johnson

Not every player has to be a super star. Many will have to be role players. And while we are definitely short in some positions. We have more than 4 players who are worth keeping around. Maybe not even as starters but we have some talent.

no we dont

there are no "average" players or depth on this team. That was Scooters biggest problem

we had REALLY GOOD PLAYERS

then nothing

then REALLY BAD PLAYERS.

There were no solid role players, and if there was one, he was shipped off the team (cough Wallace Gilberry)

Poe, Powe, and Lewis are all worth a roster spot as well.

I'll grudgingly concede that Poe may actually qualify.

Unlike that worthless tub, Tyson Jackson, Poe showed flashes of actually be a damn good player. And while we joke about it, DTs do often take a hell of a long time to develop.

Put Poe in a 1-gap and I think he really can be a dangerous player. I think he'd be better in a 4-3...but that ship has sailed.

Ultimately I see no reason he couldn't be as good as Abreyo Franklin as soon as next season. That qualifies him for the list, IMO.

I thought with a new coaching staff and new system we would rid ourselves of your useless drivel, but I guess I was wrong.

Powe and Lewis
