i think breeland and culliver are aggressive physical man corners. we just need more depth. blackmon came off the street late august and probably played the most snaps of any defensive player this year.

Re: Gameday
Yeah, I think it is pretty tough to judge Barry TOO harshly. As one commentator said, our defensive back-field was being held together with spit, scotch tape, and chicken wire.
I do believe that, as a unit, the defense needs to be faster and needs faster athletes - or athletes who play faster anyway. Speed kills and there really isn't much of it on our D. Into the offseason, it looks like safety is still a top priority. Goldson and Compton are solid, smart players. However, we need someone on the inside - at all levels - that can range and attack. We just don't have that. I think the big plays against us were largely b/c of this lack of speed. If we didn't play perfectly, there was no one with the make-up speed to limit the harm of a blown coverage or blown assignment. Given the talent level on our defense, I think Barry got about as much out of them as could be reasonably expected. Still need a fearsome edge defender (maybe Smith grows into that), someone in the middle who can range sideline to sideline, and someone over the top to keep the lid on the offense. Few teams have all these guys, but we really don't have any of them. Right now, there is just no one on our D that scares anyone.

Re: Gameday
How to be better next year:
Better guard and center play Better pass rush Both these areas will improve internally when we get injured guys back. Then add a few draft picks up front on both sides and I think we'll be greatly improved there. I also see Alfmo leaving and us drafting another rb.

35 points and 5 straight scoring drives to a team with zero weapons. ZERO. Didn't think they'd try a hurry-up offense? Thought they'd just sit back there and let us sack them all game?? We got badly outcoached yesterday, badly. |

Re: Gameday
Barry tried to rush just 4 guys all day and we had 1 sack. I can't believe we only had 1 sack to begin with, it's what I've said all along about RK, man sometimes that guy just disappears and it seems to always be in the crunch time. Preston smith will be a monster, so that's a plus. The one guy that has turned heads all over the country though is jordan reed, I've had a bunch of friends and family text telling me he's like Megatron as a TE. Dude is damn near unstoppable. I saw faulk on Nfln after the game saying reed disappeared in the 2nd half... no it's called adjustments that GB did.

Re: Gameday
For you Xs and Os guys, why was Tom Compton our swing tackle all year?
Ty Nsekhe was excellent in the last Dallas game and seems bigger, stronger and able to latch onto legit pass rushers (Greg Hardy) and control them. Don't understand why Compton always comes in on heavy packages and keeps getting beat badly.
