this thread is 100 percent .....CORRECT!
Carpenter....not mean or physical....Burnett.....fast but brittle and not physical...James...physical...but too stiff. The first think you HAVE to be as a LBers is physical...how on Gods green earth you use a 1st round pick on a LBer that is not physical is just puzzling. I mean the Steelers were punishing the Skins last night. The Skins look like some scared high schoolers.QuanTran;2400078 said:Look at all the ILB's that we have drafted high. Carpenter, Burnett, James. HORRIBLE!!!!

I like Ratliff alot. And if there is any competence in our F.O., he's taking either Spears or Canty's spot next year.

disagree...James and Thomas do not have the speed and verstailtiy to do what Pitt does with their ILBers...and to do what Pitt does...Ellis would have to drop back in coverage at times...and you know that would send him straight to Jerrys office complaining....your LBers almost have to be interchangeable to pull off what Pitt does. These LBers were crafted to be LBers in the 1980s 3-4 mold....which is why Parcells had Bradie James at 265...and Wade wants him at 240....he is what he is...an average player...and Zach is good in short tight spaces only..but because our front 3 get blown off the ball...Zach is not even touching the ball carrier until he hsa 5 or 6 yards and a full head of steam. Zach is much more effective if he can get to the ball carrier before the ball carrier gets goin good. Ratliff is a DE playing NT. We need a flat out ballling ILB....and we need a big ugly sitting on the nose..like Wilfok in New EnglandBehindEnemyLinez;2400176 said:I'll interject with a disagreement here. I think the main difference between ours and Pitt's defense is the COORDINATOR! They play fast, aggressive, and trust their CBs in single man coverage while Wade and/or Stew continue to call soft, unimaginative, mundane blitz schemes that wouldn't catch my son's Pop Warner team off guard! LeBeau was sending guys from everywhere and with seemingly reckless abandon...when have you seen that outta our 3-4 since it's been implemented here? I'd like to see Dallas "release the hounds" and in attack mode because I seriously doubt it's raw talent that separates our defensive players from theirs. We should've given Capers the D/C job...too bad Wade is too loyal for his own good and it'll probably end up costing him his job if this isn't turned around!

So...you're saying if Wade/Stew were in Pitt their defense still would be head and shoulders better than Dallas' with LeBeau because THAT was my question? Besides, I'd take our secondary over Pitt's, collectively, anyday! Except for TP, they're ordinary...QuanTran;2400269 said:They have a guy name Troy Palamalu. Roy Williams and Ken Hamlin couldn't even hold his jock. That is talent, not what we have...
