And I do not understand this at all. We haven't seen any sign in preseason of the run defense being a problem.
Cousin, I feel that Brandon Spikes maybe the difference in the run game this year. Seriously, I think he has been our best LB in the pre-season. Does anyone disagree? His girth, and there was no pun intended so stop it and enough with that, has been apparent compared to Guyton last year and a semi-injured Mayo. I am a little concerned with Mayo so far.
Here is the "IFS":
Brace
Spikes
Mayo
Chung
And a "must" pick up of a vet who can put the pressure on the QB. Why did we wiff on Wimbly? Who was sleeping there? He was a steal. I have watched him play for Oakland and he has been sound. Dallas is desperate for OL help and has a few pieces. Our cowboy to the Cowboys? DE John Henderson might have been an important pick up for nada. Ellis awaits a phone call. Still love to see Manny Lawson here and I think he can be had.
What about Osi Umenyiora? They have a surplus at DE or even the 6'7" Chris Canty who is playing a DT spot for the Giants. He disappointed there. Wasn't he a Dallas 3-4 DE that could rush the passer (he was consistent at 3-4 sack per year but with Ware he didn't have to be "that" guy)?
If these IFS can produce 20%-25% of an effort BETTER THAN LAST YEAR, it will take pressure off of the two kid CB's if not, TB better have a pro-bowl year toward points per game. "Running up the score" or so they say, would be a must especially if #24 is on the field. Would I take the old #24 back for the season to help out?....yep.
I am not a Wheatley fan and thought his loss would be insignificant not if, but when he was cut. He has certainly played decent this pre-season so I must eat my words so far.
As far as the "quick twitch" little smurfy CBs in the future? I think that experiment was B.S. and a major fail. It came back to bite us so I do not expect to see those types of picks from this organization again. I think they go after another CB in 2011 the type of Bodden. The WR are getting bigger every year. Our 5' 10" CBs are still an issue. Jump balls with T.O. , Marshall and even Edwards will kill us. Bodden hurts. Quick twitch CBs hopefully left with Pioli.
