The D gets tested every time the O goes three and out, gets handed scoring opportunities and field position and fails to capitalize, when we muff punts or get them blocked when they are constantly defending a short field etc...

So Trip you make your observations through whatever shade your glasses are, while a growing number of people OBSERVE your biases week in and week out.Oh, hey there village idiot. Missed you last week.

Hopefully our D is still good by the time we get an O that can score. We're not exactly looking hopeful in some positions over the next few years.

when it counts our defense sits 10 yds off the ball and gives up first downs.

The 2008 draft is the posterchild for this, but you can look at the quality of the undrafted talent as well.

This defense is the only reason all potential HC candidates won't avoid us like the plague. Instead they'll look at us like a really hot girl with swine flu.

I will say though that Haynesworth is definitely proving his worth. Very little chance Carter gets back to back 2 sack games without the big man in the middle. The only thing that worries we though is finding out how hard he's willing to play for a loosing team. He's already proved that he was a huge reason the Titans went 13-3 last year.

What this team really needs right now is the ability to play smash mouth football to compliment the defense. It's the piece that every team that wins with defense has.

Haynesworth was an f-ing animal today. The next coach is going to salivate when they see the tape on him.

They should probably bench Phat Albert the rest of the year and just work on conditioning for next season.

Did I mention that I hate Snyder?
Anyone who doesn't know what Haynesworth has shouldn't be here.

Exactly, our youth is Tryon, Barnes, a couple of LBs, WRs, etc

We can look forward to Orakpo, Jarmon, Horton, etc.. but which of the CBs, LBs, WRs, OL, etc do we know will even be on our squad in the near future.. or anybody else's?

the defense is great, it could be even more better if they were more motivated to stop the opposing offenses, since they are so used to getting back on the field after our offense goes 3 and out, the more our offense does that the less motivated our defense becomes. Our team could be pretty scary if we scored more than 17 points a game!

and from such an analytical mind...I put about as much confidence in that statement as I put in all of your other analysis. Only you didn't come up with that did you. I think one of your boyfriends said it first.

Trip if your going to spout off all the time at least say something original. Or is that not statistically possible.
