many on here we're calling him a bust before his breakout aka when Jared Allen left and we switched to a 34. In fact there are threads people bump that joke about this today.

Just a few years ago we were the worst pass rushing team in the NFL in terms of sack output and people have been crying for years that Tamba needs more pass rush help on this team. I agree Justin Houston provides that. But Justin Houston by himself as the only pass rush threat doesn't do us any favors.

It's gonna be a group effort in making Ryan uncomfortable.

who is going to cover anyone?

Even if Flowers does play, who is going to cover the 3rd wideout?


let's just say that Flowers and Routt can hold their own against White and Jones. Which guy are you going to have cover the 3 wide receiver?

Arenas is very limited about what type of receiver he can cover. The guy can't be too big or too fast.

Jalil Brown is stank ass

Jacques Reeves is even worse than stank ass
Travis Daniels is meh

who's going to cover Tony G?

apparently berry is going to play like a linebacker
Elam?
Lewis(even if he plays he can't cover worth a shit)
Hartman?

i still think we are going to struggle to cover tightends this year.


teams are going to do to us what teams did to the Steelers a few years back. Just go to a multiple receiver set, spread the defense and abuse the 3rd/4th corner.
