Any hope for Defense?
I can see us getting better on offense but i just don't see much room for improvement on defense.
Offense: Bowe comes back Stephenson comes back DaT comes back Oline merry-go-round starts to gel(will help on the missed stunts) Fisher (has only been able to work on upper body strength for a week or 2, he should continue to get stronger. That will bring improvement against bull rushes) Reid - even with all his faults he knows offense and will develop the offense throughout the year. Defense: DJ not coming back Devito not coming back Hali not getting younger Sean Smith not getting younger Cooper coming back Mays might be coming back Sutton hasn't shown any ability to adapt or develop anything Emmit Thomas hasn't develop much of anything since inheriting Flowers/Carr. Special teams: DaT coming back Is Santos any good? Dave Toub is good so the unit should improve Offense should improve ST should improve Defense - meh against a fairly mediocre Titan team we looked terrible, how is the defense going to improve?

other than Berry, Charles, or Smith getting injured for the year, I dont know if this season could have started out any worse. So far this season looks very 2011-ish.

I guess there's also very very slim hope that the young players we're relying on like Allen Bailey and Marcus Cooper will start to "get it." Even someone like Poe is only in his 3rd year and his 2nd as a full time starter. He might improve. There's the slim hope that the replacements like JMJ are actually good. Finally, Catapano will figure to be coming back at midseason. All of these options have tiny chances of working out, and even if they do, there's still the issue of even mediocre QBs like Locker picking on assholes like Sean Smith all game, exploiting our weak areas hardcore.

Poe, Houston, and Berry are all I really give a shit about on our defense. Maybe Cooper just for the fact that he might be good, and Hali only if he accepts a team friendly deal so we can see what Ford can do before we're stuck with jack shit at ROLB. And we may as well see what Gaines can bring but I'm not expecting anything.

DJ and Devito injuries aside, I dont blame the defense much for that one... they were getting pressure early as evidenced by 4 sacks, they were forcing three and outs early on, the Titans only had one big play - the 40 some yard bomb IIRC.
The problem with this game was the offense, no question about it in my mind.... they were atleast moving the ball early, which kept the D fresh... but once they started shitting the bed with three and outs and turnovers, the D started losing confidence and got gassed. Even without DJ, defense is still the strength of this team. |
