Really and truly we are solid all around on D, we just need 1 trade/draft/FA pick up, and thats a corner, and a few substitutions.

If we get a another shut down corner, or at least a very solid cover corner for nickle, we are set.

If we get a great corner, if gives us many options

1) if we dont want to take Henry out, move him to FS and have Hamlin at SS, in Nickle situations, move him back down to corner, and watkins at FS, or just have the FA pick up, play nickle, or have henry play nickle on the outside and newman in the slot

Substitutions

1) start with roy, get him out of there, either move henry to FS, or leave Watkins in, Roy is a liability, he is not the same idc what you say, **** all that losing weight BS, learn some damn Coverage skills, and learn how to hit and tackle again, get rid of the goofy style, i know were paying him a lot, and it will hurt to cut or trade him, so just leave his *** on SP and the bench

2) sorry but Akin isn't doing much for us, put Burnett in, he makes plays and is fast and can cover, yea akin, stuffs a few runs, but he isn't making plays

Last but not least, get rid of spears, the D-line should be Canty, Fergie/tank, and Ratliff, in the Nickle D-ware, Canty, Hatcher, Ratliff

If we expect to go in with the same cast, at the same positions starting, and expect to be super bowl contenders, then we will get a real smack in the face

Thats all we need not asking for much, put reeves at the 4th, or cut him, and get a solid FA, or a solid Draft at CB, or Trade

as for the O were 2 players away from being dominate, Trade or Sign for a top WR, we have too, Either a speed demon in Benard Berrian, or a great WR in Roy Williams, or Larry, then get a RB to spell and help out Marion

we cant we just cant cover up 1 or 2 positions and expect to be unstoppable

We are one quality wr and a decent back up rb away from having the best defense, a greater offense.

Yup, we don't need much.

But this assumes we keep guys like Hamlin, for example. I hope we do.

the thread title is false. our defensive play calling is limited due to guys like williams,ellis and reeves.

Burnett better improve because he pretty much stunk last year. He wasn't good in coverage, just better than Ayodele. But Ayodele is much better against the run and at taking on blockers.

Regardless of what people think of Roy, they can't cut or trade him and he's the best strong safety on the team. They can't afford to pick up a moderately priced SS in free agency either because of Roy's cap hit. If they really wanted to do it, the best option would be to draft a SS probably in the 3rd round and have that player take over.

Man, Ellis is getting thrown in with those guys now? That can't be a good sign. What'd he do, other than cry and moan?

The CB I really like is Mike Jenkins from South Florida, I believe he can come and man the slot and bring a swagger back there in the secondary...

he can't cover. those 3 guys i listed are one dimensional players(roy can't cover,reeves can only play 15 yards off the wr,and ellis can't cover)

Well we knew that before we moved him from DE to OLB, and before we adjusted his contract. Plus, unlike Reeves at the least, he actually is near elite in the aspect he provides, rushing the passer.

Ellis has no business trying to cover or defending the flats. Spencer needs more play time in those situations...

And I :pray: that Spencer is the answer at OLB opposite Ware. If not, back to the drawing board.

Ellis is still the second best pass rusher we have and we need to use him that way. In the nickel rushing with Spencer either rushing or in coverage.
