How do you figure and some of you really just don't always take into account things, like tank didn't even really play last year, so how are we worse when a man who wasn't even on the field? also not going to be on the field this year, but we're going to have a second year player in Kneeland, hopefully he'll be better.. I like our complete linebacker room this year more than last year as a matter of fact when we get Overshown back which I don't know where you got indefinitely from, he's going to be back sooner than later he'll be back before mid-season.
The fact is we did add that Rogers defensive tackle back into the mix right at the end of the season, so more Beef, you know we had lost him and we added beef, doesn't matter if there's a 7th round.. we got two big dudes as a matter of fact; I was watching a video not just him but feedback some of the mock drafts had this guy on their top 100 players. so he went in the 250s? so it sounds like just because we got a guy in the 7th round, much like a guy like Brock Purdy or Tom Brady in the 6th round, how do you know one of these defensive tackles aren't going to blow your mind ,how do you know finally we're not going to have some nose plug nose tackle true nose tackle right up over the nose, that can't be moved?
You're asking us how we're going to improve how could you get worse from 29 mostly because of injuries that's also not taken into account we have so many injuries last year most of them will be back this year plus the people they added back to the mix...
I can mainly tell you this it'll improve just because our entire defensive staff has been replaced, the other one was only here for 1 year, had one off season, and then you had a bunch of injuries on that side of the ball.. they never got it going.. this is a defensive coordinator .that's also a linebacker friendly defense. he's a linebacker whisperer . Cried in a very good defensive tackle coach ,and he's picking these guys because he feels he could stop the run with them,
Every year is different I could have just said how do you know they're not going to be improved that stuff you listed is insane... Just because Thomas and Turner looked like bust elsewhere he doesn't mean they don't fit in here in some way but health alone improves this defense the coaching staff alone improves his defense it's a new year it's a different time you're counting on them not improving at all I just think from 29th we will be improved how much you want to bet it might only be 28th it could be 26 but you act like we're going to get worse than 29th of the league against the run I just don't see it...
How about watch the games and that after game 17 we could have a discussion where the ranking is and then we can answer your rhetorical question because there is no answer we haven't even seen them in camp we haven't seen them in a scrimmage we haven't seen them in a preseason game and for sure we haven't seen them in a real game...
Sure many of you just want to look at this whole draft in all season is another bad one and you're going to predict we're going to be terrible against a run we're not going to be able to run to football so you might not even bother watching the games then...
