Where's our vocal defensive leader?

Where is he? we dont have one, and in great defenses, or in even good ones there is one (Ray Lewis, Urlacher, Pierce, etc.). we had one and let him get away in pierce and now we are paying the price for it. someone like a d'qwell jackson would have fit well as the vocal leader, but i think this needs to be a priority. someone needs to get the defense going. we have a bunch of quiet guys out there on the field. washington, taylor, springs, rogers, everyone is quiet. we gotta find one i think

Where is he? -- In NY :doh:

Really though, I think Gibbs has learned a lot this year. I think he's learned that he needs to be a more conservative from a GM perspective. This offseason should be much better, but only time will tell.

BTW, I think Thomas from BAL might be a good defensive leader at LB. He should've learned something from R. Lewis, and they always have a good defense that seems to stick together well.

I think Washington is probably it. I wish Taylor would step up a bit more in that role but you can't force guys into it.

i dont see any of these guys firing the defense up through being vocal. taylor is very quiet, i never see him talk...like ever. and washington doesnt seem to either

Washington is always dancing around, high fiving guys, etc. He's a pretty emotional player.

We need another Dexter

Agreed. Marcus is undoubtedly the leader of our defense.

Washington is the defense. He deserves to play in the pro-bowl more than anyone on the team.

He WAS the most vocal player while sitting on the bench...but he was no leader.

thats not being a vocal leader. u see a ray lewis yelling before plays leading his team, dont see that from washington. i see him dancing slowly with rogers during timeouts.
