Attention Whiners ....

Our twin rookie 3rd round pick DT"s weren't probowl caliber their first year? Well they must be awful then, just cut them.

I would pie you but I am not allowed...

Rivera's defense requires a strong LB corps and nothing more than an average and non-poo Dline. As long as they are better than last year our defense will be vastly improved. You're basing your knowledge of how defenses work on a very simplistic and biased view.

Why don't you say what you're implying? Rivera's defense requires LB's who have strong blitzing capabilities. Let me just check Kuechly's resume as a strong pass rusher real quick...

Sounds like a pretty simplistic and biased view to me.

Well crap! Why the heck did we draft Cam! Jimmy was just a rookie! He may have become average! and that's totally alright with me.

people who think our DT's were just "rookies" aren't paying attention.

Our twin rookie 3 round pick DT got physically dominted in their first year. They will be great.

Not true, especially not out of all the LB positions, and just because he wasn't asked to blitz at BC doesn't mean he lacks the capability. With his athletic measurables he can very well transition to a very good blitzer. I don't however think that will be what he's asked to do. I think the blitzing will primarily come form the two other LB positions and he will be asked to zone cover.

His only response to this will probally be to cuss you out.

Wrong, and our line play improved as the year went along. By the end of the year, our interior Dline rotation was more than serviceable.

So we just spent a 9th overall pick on a guy who

A ) we hope can fit our defensive scheme if another guy gets injured

B ) will replace the guy who broke the team record for tackles last year.

Which one of those is it

No, I just reserve that for you and your idiotic and simplistic quips that prove no point whatsoever other than to show that you know nothing about what you are attempting to debate.

I'm not sure, he's a very versatile player, I could see him taking TD's spot on the weakside and playing a lot of zone cover with some edge blitzing, which I think is the most likely scenario. He could even play the middle and we could move Beason outside again, but I don't that that happens. Realistically he could play all three positions.

The only reason that Anderson had so many tackles is because the rest of our defense was in shambles due to injury. Anderson was supposed to be third best linebacker on the field, not the best player on the whole front 7. Not to take anything away from Anderson, because I think that he's a great ball player, but lets be honest here.

[R0CKnR0LLA]

do people really think our dline is any good? lol

i think cuntly will be a good player, not hating that we got him. though i think we would have been better off adding a position that typically makes a bigger impact on actually winning games.

same way i didn't like us taking two 1st round running backs even though i like stewart as a player. there are better ways to build a team and that's pretty obvious.

[Mr. Burgundy]

We do this every year...

It's a fudging forum, what are we suppose to do. Have the same opinion?
