What will our D look like in passing situations?

[bobtheflob]

We now have (hopefully) 4 good quality corners we can put on the field at once.

Say on third and long, we can throw T-New, Henry, Pacman, Jenkins, and Hamlin in the secondary. Then we can put 6 good pass rushers on the field and put quick pressure on the quarterback. Maybe Ware, Ellis, Spencer, Canty, Tank, and Ratliff.

This defense could be top 5 next year.

This defense SHOULD be top 5 next year.

I'll take it a step farther. Our defense should be damn dominating next year. Our LBers will better in coverage and obviously we will be tremendously upgraded in the secondary. Our pass rush should also continue to get better considering it'll be our second year in Phillip's D and the fact that most of our front 7 are young and still learning and improving. I'd sure like to see us grab Red Bryant or someone like him tomorrow. That would make us so flexible up front by allowing Tank and Ratliff to play both NT and end from time to time. I also want Keenan Burton tomorrow.

Hey, it's draft day. It's an exciting time when you have a team that looks so good on paper. Who knows if they'll actually produce. But for now, I think there's a lot to be excited about for next season.
