Ron Meeks, Beason, Peppers, and Gamble...

The combination of those 4 guys with the rest of the supporting cast on defense is going to make us a top 5 defense next year. I know we all hate it when Pep "takes plays off" but lets face it...he did it last year and ended up a pro bowler with 14.5 sacks. I feel like Ron Meeks is going to make this guy EXTREMELY happy. I have never thought any DE in the league was on Peppers level from a standpoint of potential and HOPEFULLY Meeks can get this guy to the hall of fame level he should be at already.

Beason and Gamble are studs and I don't really need to say anything more. When you have guys in your "supporting cast" with the talent of Harris, Davis, Godfrey, Marshall and the others we should have a top tier defense this year. Hopefully all of the first and second round draft picks we have spent on defense will pay off with Ron Meeks. Here's to a great defense in 2009.

I'd throw Brian Baker into this discussion too (and the other position coaches, probably).
no doubt.

the dynamic between baker and peppers is going to be the most interesting thing to watch. baker might just be what the doctor ordered.

I think the defense has some work to do and am encouraged that on the surface steps are being made to eliminate some problems that we have faced defensively for a few seasons. That being that the philosophy and scheme seem to be more in favor of the personnel we have (on paper at least) and leadership is intact on the field to to enforce the efforts as well.

You need to replace Ron Meeks with John Fox instead. As long as we have him in the mix we'll have a mediocre defense as usual. The only scheme Fox runs is the "conservative 11" defense.

    • If Canales has helped Bryce a “poo ton” and this is what we have then what’s the fuging point? And the offense wasn’t humming with Dalton in there either, except against the raiders who’ll likely be firing their coach after this season.  XL is probably the fourth best looking receiving option on the team right now behind thielen, Coker, and sanders. I don’t think anyone would disagree with that. Who cares about total receiving yards when everyone else has missed time and there’s like 180 yards of receiving a game.  and lmao they were “believing” shut the fug up. They lost and for the most part those games were all the defense shutting down the other team. The chiefs turned around and gave up an actual impressive stat line to Aiden O’Connell and I not even the most delusional raiders fans think that means anything. Bryce did nothing against the eagles, the Bucs are a mash unit, and any one of us could have done that Bryce did against the giants and saints.  And as far as who they’d get, they didn’t have any trouble hiring the guy you’re tripping over yourself to defend. They also could have hired Dan Quinn, who’s actually succeeding with a young qb.  And people are acting like the risk of getting paid for not working for five years is a negative. Canales is going to spend the next half a decade getting paid to watch porn in his Bible camp office.
    • the Dallas game definitely quelled the hype. his biggest issue will always be his size, and that shows when he gets sacked. he's simply not big or strong enough to protect the ball. even in the KC game, he fumbled it on a basic sack and thank god icky landed on it. INT's are going to happen, most fans don't understand that tipped balls and wrong routes account for most interceptions. but the wet-bar-of-soap type fumbles upon contact are a huge reg flag. the common theme with players like Darnold and Mayfield who previously played for us and are now excelling makes me want to practice patience more when it comes to the QB position. I think Bryce bought himself another season, perhaps with more weapons. I do like the idea of adding a QB whether that's a FA or mid round rookie. if the same mistakes occur next season and we see no further growth or most importantly, wins, then it will be time to move on. just a quick reminder though, football is not an individual sport. QB is just one position, albeit the most important. 
    • There's some big assumptions in here - first, I think Canales HAS helped Bryce a poo ton. To pretend he hasn't is asinine. Has he fixed him?  I mean, the dude looks like he could perhaps be a backup or low-end starter now, whereas he looked like he didn't belong in the NFL a year ago. You're talking about a coach that brought one of the worst NFL QBs of all time to a point where he may actually be a low-end starter. That IS impressive. Second, the bolded. Come on - given the offense, the dude is far from "trending towards bust." He definitely needs work but he's shown an impressive ability to get open. He's contributing to an anemic offense. The dude is our leading receiver (though he'll be #2 in yardage by end of season by a little, as Thielen does better per game).  As to his coaching, he had this team competing and believing against 3 of the better teams in the NFL, despite the lack of talent, and despite our QB situation.  Yes, things fell apart vs DAL, and he was outcoached. But that will happen with young coaches IMO.  I don't think it indicates he cant' be better. The idea of "pulling off the bandage" is ridiculous. Who would want to coach here if we fired this guy after one season?
