How bad do you expect this defense to be really?

[Frozen700]

When have we really went up against a weak offense, and we are able to walk away saying "too easy?"

Takeaways will be crucial. Dallas won't be able to stop anyone.

Rams?

The PHI game early last year seemed easy, too, though that wasn't a weak offense.

Top 5 worst of all time, no joke... I have no confidence.

Put it this way, if you went around and picked out the oldest Zoners and asked them to play D for the Cowboys, there wouldn't be much of a drop off. Though after the first game I'm sure 90% of them would be on the injury list Lol.

Hopefully better than Greenbay.

Haven't we already done one of these threads.

It's deja vu all over again.

 

[percyhoward]

21st in points allowed

I'll take it.

One? Well to fair it has been a few days. Maybe things have improved since then.

If they can continue to get healthy and stay relatively stable throughout the year.....I say they finish somewhere between (16-24), if they lose Melton and one other starter on the line it will get ugly.

well, up is the answer i think..this one will be a work in progress, i hope as the year work on it will get better. near the end maybe a kick in the right direction.

I think it's hard to gauge at this point since some of our better players haven't even played a down yet. Will be interesting to re-visit this thread once everyone is back healthy. (Knock on wood)

Bad, I see little to no talent on defense. Not one difference maker. Very few who would start on other teams.

Who's our better players?

 

[Jack Burton]

A defense with untalented players like the Golden Cock in starter roles is not going to be a very good defense. We will know a lot more of how bad, or average we are going to be after Sunday.

Expansion level bad.............seriously

 

[scottsp]

Expansion teams throughout history should take great offense to any such comparison

The defense can only get better. Missing our one tech, and WDE doesn't help. Adding Melton, McClain, and Lawrence in the should help ALOT. These guys have taken a combine total of zero snaps. We know both Melton and McClain can push the line and get pressure. Lawrence is unproven at the NFL level.

With all that being said, all we've seen is our 2nd n 3rd string getting pushed around and when you see that through 4 games it can get to someone who is looking for some form of hope in any capacity.

I believe once we get these guys healthy and in action we'll see an improvement over what we've seen this past month.

Hey, when you have the time, I was wondering if you can fill me in on how we know Terrell McClain can get pressure.

For most users I would honor that request. Your posts are typically filled with sarcasm and negativity. Pass.
