Pass defense, rush defense, putting our cleats on the right foot. Mostly, our defense couldn't do a single thing well. And we used the 36th overall on a scat-back and the 50th on a kick returner/corner blitzer. We still have no LBs. We still have no SS. We still have a garbage set of down-linemen. We will continue to suck at stopping the pass because we can't get any heat on the QB and even when we do, our LBs are all so slow and so awful that the middle of the field will be open to anyone that wants it. We will also continue to suck at stopping the run because of aforementioned old/slow/weak LBs and garbage down-linemen. No, nobody's overlooking what we "really struggled" at. We "really struggled" at damn near everything. So we went out and put shiny new rims and a chrome rearview mirror on our '76 Fiat. ****ing. Awesome.

And a front 7 doesn't affect the passing game?

our run defense wasn't our true weakness last year...
it was our pass defense and yes, our ability to get to the QB... Berry and Arenas are going to be difference makers from day 1... If our offense can sustain some drives and give us some leads late in games...we'll see that rush defense improve...just because of our offense alone. But people like OTWP want to hide behind stats because they don't like to rely on what they see with their own two eyes. |

Inability to collapse the pocket has been a weakness for years. It makes our pass rushers have to be that much better to do their job.

I think it's funny you idiots were SO CONCERNED about teams running for 400 yards against us every game...but you fail to see that our defense has not taken any sort of a step backwards this offseason...that didn't happen last year...and even when we had NO IDENTITY and a shit ass DC...teams still elected to beat us through the air...not on the ground.
DO YOU NOT GET THAT? OTHER THAN JEMARCUS RUSSELL, BRADY QUINN AND TRENT EDWARDS...TEAMS WITH REAL QB'S OFFENSIVE GAME PLAN WAS TO BEAT US WITH THE PASS RELENTLESSLY...UNTIL WE WERE DONE...AND THEN JUST PILE ON WITH SOME RUSHING ATTEMPTS. That was the game plan. As evidenced by every single QB ass raping our defense for our first 9 losses. |

I saw a defense that sucked at stopping the pass for the same reasons it sucked at stopping the run. It's old, it's slow, it's overmatched physically. Guess what? -- The front 7 will remain old and/or slow and/or overmatched. And I'll see all of this with my own two eyes.

Hey, we addressed one of the key sore spots last year by signing Weigman. At least he can snap the ball to the QB in the shotgun!

If Arenas can run just 50 % of the Kick offs back for TD's we will have a chance.

teams passed on us because our front 7 sucked ass
our dl put no pressure on the qb and even worse, our lbs can't cover anyone in space....teams murdered us in the middle of the field where our slow and or clueless lbs lost their man or just couldn't maintain coverage... and of course our backfield had to cover all day while opposing qbs made sandwhiches in the pocket before throwing the ball... if our front seven, which remains basically unchanged - please sign henderson! - doesn't improve dramatically we'll see the exact same thing Berry or no (though i would expect him to not whiff on breakout runs the way Brown routinely did)... pretending that our bad d and our bad pass d are somehow not connected...is um wierd...it's all on the front 7...in a 3-4 it is especially on the LBs...and our LBs, with the exception of Hali, suck ass...I mean they are some of if not the very worst in the league

who was good in our secondary?
Flowers? I know no one else was...I am skeptical about how good Flowers really was last year in all honesty. |
