probably because no one has ever seen him play. who knows what he can do.

Ok so having a good secondary improves the overall pass defense, agreed. I'm still not seeing how it makes the front 7 get into that backfield faster, which is what pass rush is.
So you believe the Pats put plenty of pressure on Manning in the AFCC?Without Willfork, Kelly, playing three rookies, we still ranked #4 or #5 in sacks. This with injuries in the secondary too. Wake UP! You have plenty for pass rush pressure already.

I guess you didn't watch the superbowl.If you haven't noticed...nobody gets pressure on manning..
How is that different from any other QB?If you are getting constant pressure..it means his WRs are covered or his OL is folding.
We are still looking through the lens of a 2013 defense severely diminished by injuries, and one that was still very young.
Entering 2014 with the players on the roster (we have to go with the cards we're holding here), the picture is this:
DL: Ninkovich, Kelly, Wilfork and Chandler Jones with Siliga and Chris Jones as depth, and tremendous potential in Armstead
LB: Hightower, Mayo and Collins (depth is needed here)
CB: Dennard, Revis and Arrington in the slot with Logan Ryan as depth
Safety: McCourty and Adrian Wilson with Duron Harmon as depth
Not a rookie in the mix, and speed and smarts at every level. The only real hole here is safety if Wilson can't run, which is quite possible. It looks like Wilfork will depart, which is sad. But, plugging his spot with Siliga, Chris Jones and Armstead is not a terrible place to be with the other three guys on the DL.
The importance of continuity cannot be understated with a defense that looks like this. When you have 13 or 14 guys who have been together as a unit you worry about introducing new guys. In the current picture, the "new guys" are Adrian Wilson and Darrelle Revis, two smart accomplished leaders.
This is a very impressive group from which to approach the draft.
If you haven't noticed...nobody gets pressure on manning.. He gets rid of the ball so quick. If you are getting constant pressure..it means his WRs are covered or his OL is folding.
Mostly becasue he gets rid of it so quick
a lot of people sleeping on armstead. I hope to see him contributing in a big way next to kelly. Chris Jones and Siliga as nice depth pieces and hopefully a disruptive impact guy like Donald, Hageman or Easily would be a great group.
