Quote:WHat's your basis for arguing the current group of defenders are better than 31st?

 

WHo are the best players on this defense?

 

Senderrick Marks, who was recovering from a torn ACL to start the year, then missed the entire second half of the year with a torn tricep?

 

MLB Paul Poszlusny, who has been excellent against the run but long a liability in man coverage?

 

OLB Telvin Smith, who flashes speed and big play ability, but is undersized?

 

Not sure where the rest of these better than 31st players are. 

 

Colvin is decent.  House is decent.  Miller is decent.  All three would be better with better players around them, most notably with a competent pass rusher or two.
