Who on this defense are you

[NJPanthers12]

comfortable with being starters?

Brayton-Johnson-Landri-Johnson

Anderson-Connor-Beason

Gamble-Martin-Godfrey

I look at this defense and although it has been impressive it definitly needs improvement. I think we need 2 new starting defensive tackles with Landri being a rotational player. I really like Charles Johnson if we can get a better starter on the other side of him. I love the linebacker core when Davis comes back and would not mind replacing marshall in the secondary. The way I see it next years defense should look like:

DE: New Guy

DT: New Guy

DT: New Guy

DE: Charles Johnson

SLB: James Anderson

MLB: Jon Beason

WLB: Thomas Davis

CB: Chris Gamble

SS: Charles Godfrey

FS: Sherrod Martin

CB: New Guy

I like Connor, Hardy, and Landri as rotational players.

I can't disagree with this

[NJPanthers12]

thanks for the positive rep man, at least i am glad to see there are some people on this board you can have some faith in to actually read a post and realize I actually know what I am saying.

[House]

I think you are an idiot, not because of what you posted but just in general.

[Dpantherman]

Seconardy will be fine. need more run support inside. I think Ed Johnson will be good going forward with the rest of the guys rotating in, but he needs someone to start opposite him full time.

DE: Greg Hardy

DT: Richard Seymour

DT: Marvin Austin

DE: Charles Johnson

SLB: James Anderson

MLB: Jon Beason

WLB: Thomas Davis

CB: Chris Gamble

SS: Charles Godfrey

FS: Sherrod Martin

CB: Patrick Peterson

I just hope Anderson stays here, and doesn't go the way of Witherspoon.

Is Captain a starter?

I feel Marshall and Munnerlyn get beat on every single short pass, i dont know could just be me tho. Ed Johnson is the one player on this team I cant get a read on, the 49er game he looked awful other games solid.

CB: Patrick Peterson

I guess you are assuming we are getting Austin in the third round?? I wouldn't be opposed to this at all

[SOJA]

Is Captain a starter?

Depends on if we draft Peterson or another corner early......I personally don't think Captain is starting material yet. I hope we get Peterson so then him and Captain will solidify a young secondary we can depend on for years to come

[OneBadassCat]

E. Brown might be ready next year who knows. I'd keep him at least as a rotational player. Hardy would be my starter. Charles Johnson needs become the DE he was meant to be otherwise I'm ready to sign a DE in FA.

I'd love to pick up Seymour but since we are in a youth movement I don't know it if would happen. Landri is a good player and should stay. I feel Ed Johnson would be a solid rotational player as well.

I'd look into picking up Shaun Ellis or Cullen Jenkins.

We are stout at LB and the secondary is set except for Marshall's spot.

Which beat writer suggested that we move EB to LB

Defense really isn't that bad of shape.

Hardy/Brown/Johnson can make plays IMO.

DT is really a black hole. A single pocket collapsing DT makes out DT's look SOOOOO much better.

LB is set, pending we keep Anderson and Davis is back to being a baller. Connor is a great guy just to have around.

Beason bottom line IS the best player on this team right now. Going forward keeping him, making sure he is happy, and putting players around him to make our D strong should be a top priority.

Secondary is fine, Godfrey is FINALLY starting to grow up, Gamble will be decent. Captain can be a solid nickle/ST guy. Marshall can walk Im afraid, don't be surprised if our first round pick is from LSU or Nebraska.

Instilling an agressive Swagger D is stupid important.
