Quote:Who do you think we drafted at #3 overall this year? Answer: A pass rusher.

 

Do you think Telvin Smith sucks? You must not be watching games if you do.

 

Give some of these guys time to develop. They are young and still learning.

 

If you think the pass rush was the problem of this defense today or this season, YOU ARE WRONG.

 

We play a zone defense that allows any QB to pick us apart.  1 pass rusher won't ever fix that.  If you don't understand that this scheme sucks and is the reason for the pathetic performance of our defense, then you either don't know football, or you're not really watching this team play.

 

WRs run to open space and sit down waiting for the ball to be thrown to them.  The QB just has to find the soft spot in the zone.  When you only rush 4 and you have 5 linemen blocking you will always be able to pick apart the defense if all the D does is play an uber soft zone scheme.

 

We would need 3 HOF caliber LB's and 2 Ronnie Lot type safeties for this defensive scheme to be capable of any sustained success.

 

I mean, heck, that may happen.  I can't wait for it to happen!!!  But it's not very likely to happen...
