Defense Asessment: Week 1

[EternalEnigma21]

What about the Defense last week. I thought we got decent pressure, but only a fraction of the sacks we should've. Our safeties I thought played well, but we didn't really see enough of Arrington. I do like that Lamar Marshall can drop back 30 yards down field into coverage without getting blasted. I'd really like to see more of arrington. I think Taylor and co. covered Moose well as we didn't really hear his name called all day. We gave up some cushion underneath when we played soft zone, but it was usually not enough for them to convert.

When Cornelius Griffin came through the line on the last defensive play he looked posessed. Slamming through 2 blockers, stripping the ball and recovering to seal the game. If he doesn't make the pro-bowl this year it'll be a crime. I didn't really see too much of Carlos Rogers, and I've heard in other threads on here that he's not supposed to play next week? What's up with that?

All in all I give the D a solid A. If they had one more TO and a couple of more sacks on the rookie (who didnt really do much, but did show some poise given the situation) they would've gotten an A+. I really wanna see some more turnovers this year.

What do you guys think?
