Let's take a CLOSER look at the defense

You're also heavily assuming that the defense won't run much in the way of nickel and dime defenses, which require extra DBs. Whenever Nelson returns, that will still be an ongoing issue because beyond Nelson, who is still unproven in my book beyond the slot, there is next to nothing.

Everyone likes bashing the 2003 Chiefs defense, and rightfully so, but this secondary looks worse than that abomination.

Didn't Nelson play on the outside when we totally shut down the Raiders for near enough three-quarters last season? And it's all very well picking on the secondary, but what about the front seven? You've said nothing about that. I also don't think the 2003 team had as much talent as this defense does.

I'm not worried about the front seven, but it won't matter when Amerson gets roasted within 2 seconds.

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

The reason to point that out isn't to complain. It's to keep a conversation about the defense in 1 thread instead of breaking it apart. It waters down the conversation. Now a great point about the defense needs to be repeated 3 times in each thread.

There is nothing wrong with your point. Whether I agree or not you at least backed it up with something. But your need to have the thought be seen by everyone is breaking up the conversion that was already happening in another thread.

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

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.

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.
