Wait a minute! We’ve been fielding a DEFENSE?!?!?!?!?

Who knew?

We def need a beast on the line Jason jones can def fill some of the shoes but like big al can he stay on the field a full season t brown has played descent besides poking people eyes out we def need to resign bulluck and tully mcgrath is gonna b a baller Harper is the new Reynaldo hill we def need help but we def not as bad off as we could b

Not wanting to throw salt on the wound but how much could we have used that 2nd rd pick on the def side of the ball that we used on Jared cook last yr

Chris Hope has lost a few steps. I don’t care what you say, but I remember couple a years back, a receiver fell down purposely because they didn’t want to get hit by him ( Raiders I believe ), now they want 1 on 1 with him. Him and Nick Harper get beat more often then not. Nick Harper is flat out awful, as everyone here knows. Michael Griffin has taken a step back from last year, but he will fix that. Focus on the mechanics of being a free safety, not a run plugger. Cortland Finnegan was good, but Christmas night, sorry to say, got shown up.

Linebackers, we have fantastic potential with Tully and McGrath, those two can be great together. We really need to re-sign Keith Bulluck. He has NOT lost a step, works his ass off, is a perfect example of a role model in our society, and always expects 100% out of his defensive teammates, let alone the entire team.

Defensive line, Tony Brown is a good defensive tackle. He is always playing hard, he has great technique, and he stops the run beautifully. Work more on the pass-rush, and re-sign this guy. He will be great. Jason Jones, love him, but pack on a few more pounds, work your ass off this offseason, and prepare for your biggest year yet. He will shine in ‘10. Jacob Ford and William Hayes are both outstanding young potential guys. William is great at both the run and the pass. I remember watching him last year, and while playing Defensive End in high school, I knew the one simple rule for defensive end, that is BCR. Back-Counter-Reverse. Last year, anytime a team ran misdirection, ie Reverse, this cat would bite on it and get his ass simple ran around. That simply is just not the case this year. He became smart, physical, and an all around GOOD defensive End. He had the best strides this year, along with Tulloch. Kyle Vandenbosh, I love him and all, but if his asking price is ridiculous, let him go. SURE he gets pressure on the quarterback, but most of the time, a non-mobile Peyton Manning, and even Phillip Rivers, simply can just take a step and Kyle falls to the ground. Disappointing at best. He is great at stopping the run, and I think we DO need a guy like him to stay in the locker room, and show younger guys what it takes to be good in this league. Kevin Vickerson can be a player. He is huge, he is physical, but I just see him needing to get stronger. His Technique is there, and he uses his hands well. Senderick Marks, I watched a play, against the Bills, when Sen’Derrick bullrushed the right guard to the ground. ( Didn’t get a sack ) but That right there, gave me HOPE, in the future of this defensive line. Last but not least, who in the hell signed Dave Ball to this team. He is a shrimp, he is NOT strong, and he is always on the ground. Either that, or he is the Lamont Thompson of the defensive line, running to the ball and trying to get in on a gang tackle. Get rid of Dave Ball. Javon Haye, this is the biggest disappointment of all. I remember when Albert Haynesworth was going to be a FA, I was looking at other FA’s to be, and saw Javon Haye. My gut told me we would pursue him, and I was ecstatic when we actually did. Boy am I not now. He doesn’t play the run well, and he does NOT push the pocket at all. He needs to work extra hard this offseason, cause buddy, we got better younger talent upcoming. Overall, lack of push in the pocket, because the ends ARE getting pressure on the outside, is what hurt us most this season. Get a big boy alongside Tony Brown ( who we hopefully will re-sign ), and collapse the pocket like we did when Haynesworth was here. Good things will happen.

Call me crazy but I think tank Johnson better fit than Javon haye and if not mistaken Johnson is a ufa this yr

Just heard contract talks with mr peppers in Carolina have gone no where def would embrace that guy with open arms to tenn

We wasted a high 2nd round pick for this guy.
