Bill B Presents TMC's Pick the Position Poll

I also said DE, for a couple of reasons.

1 -- because DB's don't need to be world beaters if they don't have to keep coverage on a play for 5-10 seconds.

2 -- because of simple math and physics. Even a small disturbance at the origin of an object's trajectory can cause a huge change, whereas often even large disturbances at the end can still be compensated for.

3 -- because DB's don't help that much in run support, either.

Good points. But my biggest thing is, the DE helps force those errors. I think we'd be surprised how much better our secondary would look with some help up front.

I don't care how good or fast you are, you can't cover an NFL receiver forever.

Greatest explanation ever!!!

I'm torn between DT and DE.

I'm torn between DT and DE.

You know I like the combo of Golston, Griff, and Joe S.
The kid Montgomery will be in the mix too.

If had to choose one and only one, it would be DE.

MLB!!!!!!! the backbone of the defense (the supposed leader in tackles), Marshall is invisible out there, need that LB to stop that run. Once you stop the run, then you can think about stopping the pass. Next most important position is DT, better DT's will lead to improved DE play. GW had great Linebackers until this year, I believe that is the difference between this year and last, linebacker play.

Yeah I think we're ok at DT, Golston's emergence has made me feel a lot better about the position.

I don't know how much Griff and the Samoan have left. Overall I think you're probably right, get another DE opposite Carter. I think the line on both sides is what we need to shore up first and foremost

I said DE, without question.

I would give Carlos one more year before giving up on him. I think if this guy can focus on catching his stock will go way up. The entire defense has had it's woes. Springs? I don't think he's old as some would suggest. He's what, 31-32 yrs old...his issue is staying healthy, not age at this point.

We need a DE to help create some pressure up front. Have you noticed how the Bears and Ravens get so many turnovers? Their secondary isn't full of pro bowlers, but they get in the QBs face and force errors.


Need A DE opposite Carter who has come on of late. Springs looks very good when health. With him across from Rogers all year that would be solid. Need a Middle LB also!!

Griff just needs to get AND stay healthy, that's been his main problem the last two seasons. He just turned 30, he's still got some gas in the tank.

Big Joe's days as a starter are done thanks to Golston, hopefully Montgomery can step up and contribute more next year.

I was seriously torn. CB is a big need but if Springs is healthy he can be a good #1 and Rogers is fine as a #2. Then I thought of Safety and wondered whether our ineffectiveness there was based soley on talent or whether the overall sturggles of the D magnified the deficiency. DL is a strong candidate but we are adequate there. I said LB because Williams' D are predicated on quality LB play and we had some serious lack of play making or even adequacy at OLB. I think a guy who can play the run solid and make a few plays makes our D this past year at least average. And since I have no idea if Rocky can do the job I'd say that's where I'd add the player.
