Well, they brought in a shit load of new starters on D, so I think the front office agrees?

I thought Pete was just "DC loony." Apparently it carries over into football takes. That's unfortunate. Get well soon!

I'd say we had really 1 decent year of defense from Sutton. And even in that we blew a huge lead in the playoffs. Sutton's defenses over the last few years have taken on a pattern of playing soft. I am just a bit concerned that in all the defensive issues, the coach of the defense is not being looked at as part of the problem. We cannot continue playing a 3 man rush, playing CB's 10 yards off on 3rd and medium, consistently giving up 3rd and long and then claiming victory because after a 7 minute drive we held the other team to a FG. That hasn't really worked well. |

When I'm pessimistic, I estimate we're entering the era of the Culpepper Vikings or the Stafford Lions.
When I'm cautiously hopeful, I estimate we're entering McNabb 2.0 When I daydream, I daydream we're charting new territory.

Let's hope it's this...I think our offense is going to tear shit up. I just would like to see our defense improve.

Why does the D get to enjoy regular season metrics to get the label of 'pretty damn good,' but the O gets the playoff metrics of a 'complete waste of time and talent?'

They gave up 22 points in a playoff game and lost. Gave up 18 to the Steelers at home, lost. 27 on the road in New England. Lost.

No, it's not Vermiel 2.0
They're actually TRYING to address defensive problems and the overall talent level is much higher Will the D be great? No. But it won't be Bartee and Warfield back there either. Posted via Mobile Device |

Actually, it kind of does. Against great teams, unless you have a great defense, it's tough to consistently get stops without turnovers.
