Safety and DT away from having a really good D

Anyone else think this. If we had a Bob Sanders type safety and a good DT that could penetrate I think our defense would be really solid. I think our corners would really shine if we had help over the top so they could play more aggressively. We are solid at DE and LB. I really wish they would give Martin a shot at safety, couldnt get any worse that Godfrey and we could actually use our second round pick.

LMAO! We're solid at DE? Peppers is a pussy.

Say what you say but with some D line penetration Peppers would have more success pass rushing. Don't forget how everybody was so happy with him after week one when he blocked the FG and got the sack. Worth the money: no Still a quality pass rusher who has had some bad games: yes. Lets not turn this into a Peppers hate thread. A lot is to be said about our coaching in the next few weeks.

Actually, I agree with the original post. People seem to keep forgetting that they're running a new scheme. As a unit, they are slowly but surely getting better IMO. They definitely need a DT that can consistently hold the point in run defense, and get penetration in pass defense.

And Godfrey is the worst tackler on this team, IMO. Fix that position, and it will make a big difference.

There is nothing anybody can do about Peppers except to hope that he gets his ass in gear, but it would help tremendously if the QB didn't always have room to step up when Peppers does beat his man to the outside.

I thought they looked pretty good in the last game, even with the deficiencies in mind.

As for the D-line... they looked "so close, yet so far." They did quite well many times when rushing the QB. As for stopping the run though... sometimes it just looked downright nasty.

I may be wrong, but we get run on more around the edge, and little dump offs to the running backs if I remember correctly. Sure there were those up the gut, but I seem to remember getting gashed around the edges more in the Dallas game. Will have to go back and look.

That's what I saw too; you're not alone.

They just didn't attempt enough runs at the right times.
