I know diehard fans tend to be very emotional about our pack and I am no different. However I keep coming back to our biggest issue being lack of pass rush. I think our secondary style of play require more quarterback pressure than other systems. Our corners can shut down receivers forced to run short routes. It is when the qb can have a picnic back there and then still throw that we get in trouble. We are currently asking the secondary to cover opposing receivers too long and eventually they get open. One or two def linemen will make a huge difference in this team.

We are so under the cap now. Next year we free up the salaries on clifton, tauscher, Kabeer (already cut, but still paying this year). I will be patient for one more year with Thompson. He needs to get agressive in the off season and this team can be really good next year. He will have the money. Imagine adding Haynesworth to go with Pickett inside and then Peppers opposite side of Campman. Suggs is also a option. If Barnett can come back healthy, we have alot to look forward to.

Yes....I know we then need to still replace some off linemen, but all I'm saying is that we are not that far off. I think we are about 4 players away from being the best in the NFC!!!

We have some work to do on the Dline.. Jenkins coming back will be huge.. a healthy offseason for Harrell would help as well.. kid as none of that natural bull strength you seen last year.. be interesting to see how Ted carves into this issue.

We need a better and deeper rotation at DT. Period. Everyone of those cats got stoned at the line yesterday.. every stinking one of them.

2nd biggest issue... is a tie.. Oline overall performance over the entire year.. way too many mental and fundamental breakdowns.. and a Linebacking core that is severely under-performing.. if our starting outside linebackers next year are Poppinga and Hawk.. the combination of the two.. I will be severely disappointed..

Bishop showed alot, even if he was playing out of position.. at this point he is a two down backer.. he may develop into a decent "drop into zone" backer, but he lacks the quickness to cover man to man.

Hawk played awful yesterday.. I mean absolutely pathetic.. this middle experiment should be nixed.. kick him back outside where he can sit on his freaking heels and wait.. a Middle linebacker needs to play aggressively... Hawk isn't that player. He flashed early this year, otherwise he has been average and solid.. but to grade him according to draft slot.. disappointing. Again, why I point to Moss as failing in development of this corps.

Poppinga.. I see decent instincts at times and then lapses in reaction or reads.. so it is either scheme, coaching or lack of understanding on his part..

Chillar has played overall the best ball of that group.. Barnett.. same story with him.. can't shed blocks at the point of attack and takes alot of bad angles... but at least he engages and has a fire about him.. Bishop had that yesterday.. we need more of Kampman, Barnett, Bishop fire.

dfosterf (25-Mar) : Probably speed of game issues with your proposal
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
beast (25-Mar) : I think when it comes to Challenges should get two strikes, so unlimited challenges as long as they keep winning them, but 2 wrong then done
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
