What are the weakest points in our Defense?

The only weakness I see on Defense is the DC. The players are in place. The depth is there and they have the front 7 that the 90's had.

Zimmer is the only question left to be answered because every position was addressed. Youth will be served on defense. This D can go 3-4 or 4-3 different variations(speed and power all over the field). The packages that the DC will or better do are limitless

I'm as worried about FS as the next fan, but if you have to have a weakness on defense, I think FS is a pretty good spot to have it at. Look at our great teams in the 1990's, we never had a great FS (that I can remember). I think Watkins will eventually take over at the FS position. But until he does, Davis, Coleman and Beriault are decent options.

I'm more worried about our depth behind Ferguson, and even Ferguson himself. He needs to play much better this year. And if he got hurt, we would be in big trouble. I don't think guys like Stanley, Thomas or Ratliff would be up for starting for long periods of time.

I like our CB depth. We have a great top three and when Henry went down last year, Glenn showed he could still start and Reeves showed he was an up-and-coming talent. If we got desparate, we could even put Coleman in as a third or fourth CB.

We are set at our DE position. And I really like our linebackers. I think Ware, James, Ayodele and Carpenter will be a great starting linebacking group for a long time for us. And I like Singleton, Fowler, Shanle, Thornton and Burnett as backups.
