Starting Defense Week 1 Vs Tampa

[Vagrant]

Sherrod Martin will start for this team. I have little doubt.

[toldozer]

My prediction is they will only have to hold the bucs under 42 points. I just hope the D is good enough to let the offense shine!!!!

We wont field one

If Nakamura starts for us, we are in trouble.

kearse and edwards at DT i think

[Kuech the Sneak]

I'd like to see kearse and Shirley playing beside each other at some point during the season...that's alot of meat to move off the ball and it should keep blockers off our LBs

If Nakamura starts for us, we are in trouble.

And why is that? Nakamura spent 4 yrs behind a future Hall of Famer. Seems to have the tools. Can't be any worse than what Martin did last year. Now Martin from a couple years ago. Maybe but 2011, I think Nakamura is going to be a big find for us. I believe when he signed with the Panthers most on the Raven board were either disappointed he was gone or wished him well with the Panthers. Very few were glad to see him go.

So are people going to be really pissed when Sherrod Martin is starting week one?

[Jackofalltrades]

CJ - Edwards (NT) - McClain (UT) - Hardy

Anderson. - Beason. - Davis

Gamble - Martin - Godfrey - Munnerlyn

I think both TD and Munnerlyn start week 1, but both are phased out/ rotated with a younger guy. I think Hogan eventually relegates Captain to ST ace and Dimeback. Kuechly will take more snaps and TD will be a rotational/situational guy by week 4.
