Seriously though,
After watching all last season and 2 games into this season, I think we have finally run the well of doing more with less dry. It seems (at least to me), that we no longer have playmakers on the defensive side of the ball.
Positives
1. Middle of the D line, still pretty solid imo
Negatives
1. Loss of Mayo is huge, and to be honest much bigger than I had originally thought
2. Rest of the linebackers and Secondary, average AT BEST.
The problem is, when our Offense was clicking (and I have absolute faith it will again) we had a defense that would "Bend not break", when the Offense wasnt we had Playmakers on the Defensive side that would pick it up (Samuels, Seymour, Harrison,..etc). We no longer have "those" (as in type) of guys. We have cant continue to rely on a High powered offense with an average or below average defense and expect to compete.
Passing on some Defensive players in the draft is looking rougher and rougher.
First half D looked good yesterday, but gave up 3rd downs too often in the 2nd half.
Want to buy a pass rush...but hey, at least the Titans fans here cant give me crap today...
Go pats!
