Did you not watch the Eagles?
Trotter is a monster in the Run support game, and can disrupt passing plays as well.
And we are not putting the weight of the defense on one or two players.
The players that we do get are going to allow the rest of the players on defense to play BETTER.
For example, a new cornerback will move Warfield to number two immediately. Warfield did fairly well against teams' number one receviers last season, so going against the number two guys will ease the pressure on him.
Kawika mitchell/Monty Beisel were all but ineffective in the middle. With a new middle linebacker present, our safeties and linebackers arent trying to make up for a huge hole in the middle of the field that is constantly being exploited.
As for the injury thing, yeah. By the same token we could lose Trent Green, and Tony Gonzalez for the year and revert back to the offense of the 90's and score 10 points per game and be screwed. Thats the chance you take.
