Thread: So if the defense is terrible again this season?

    So if the defense is terrible again this season?

    Does Capers finally get fired? Does TT get most of the blame? How about stubby, he should get some for keeping Capers? I ask these questions because even though the draft is yet to come, I really don't have much hope for this defense. A lot of the same players, and the same over rated coordinator equals mediocre at best.

    fans and the team will probably just come up with another excuse for the D

    its not like last year was the first year the D sucked

    look at slocum, ST's have been shit for years under him, yet M3 won't remove him

    Terrible with or without leading the league in injuries?

    Reasons why our defense will be improved...

    -Clay hopefully won't be out 40% of the season.

    -Added Peppers who paired with Clay make for one of the better pass rushing duos in the league which should help the secondary.

    -Hayward will be back adding the play making ability we were so lacking last season.

    -Tramon's shoulder seems to be fully healthy and looks back to his old form.

    -New starter at safety, whether it be a rookie or Hyde it will be an improvement.

    -B.J. Raji moves back to NT where he put up Pro Bowl numbers.

    -Daniels, Neal, and Jones also provide good pass rush from the D-line.

    -New rookie starter at ILB?



    If we don't get hit by the injury bug again we should have a top 15 defense easily IMO.

    Agreed. We don't need the '85 Bears D to win this season either.

    Don't shoot the messenger, I'm just telling you how you're acting and helping your fake internet points better reflect your actual reputation as an armchair GM on a throne of hubris, hyperbole, and militant argument from ignorance. I have no issue with you spouting your trash, everyone does that on this site, but being right about predicting opposition to an idea isn't the same as being right, its building a red herring to poison the well... aka being a dipshit.

    Calling someone a little cry baby pussy over your fake internet points seems a little self-contradicting as well.

    IMO,many of the things you listed are actually a reason to be skeptical.
    -clay will be hurt AGAIN, he's just not durable.
    -Peppers may be a great signing, but I'm doubtful.
    -Hayward and Tramon I think will actually have good seasons.
    -safety, well I have zero confidence there although it couldn't get worse.
    -raji, most worthless bag of shit on the team. Moving him shouldn't determine effort, I have no love for players with no heart.
    -ILB, I have zero faith in any coaching staff that believes Brad Jones has talent.

    So...above average?
    No longer the member of any fan clubs. I'm tired of jinxing players out of the league and into obscurity.

    Average is a huge improvement over the last couple years. Imagine, the O only scores 21 points and the Packers still win the game. It could be a reality.

    The playoff game is all that people remember but in 2012 we were the 11th ranked scoring defense despite the injury luck. At the beginning of 2013 it looked like we were building on that as well, I think at one point they even breached the top 10 before collapsing to 24th. Top 15 isn't just within reach it should be expected IMO.

    APRH, if the defense tanks the team, Capers will get canned; probably not Stubby, even if it's really, really bad.

    So if we win the Super Bowl this year will you and Wist disappear for a year again?

    Average would be a huge upgrade over the last few years, I would be happy with average.
