Storm Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 We need the secondary to play like they are a bunch of 1st and 2nd round draft picks.....not a bunch of CC Browns...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osi724dasack Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Yes it will help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Yes it will help. Oh yeah, I forgot after reading his ramblings there was actually a question posed..... Yes, we will be a better team when they come back. Any time you can add 2 Pro Bowl caliber players back to the starting lineup it means a lot.....

Herc Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 osi isn't coming back monday but i get your point, we dont need reinforcements for our biggest strength as much as we need help in other areas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And having 2 extra experienced players there for the rotation keeps everyone fresh.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know mattresses, have more personality than Eli, but Eli might still start calling out more plays if we get him too hyped. Even though, Gilbride's playbook, only consists of three plays anyways. So i think the other team already knows whats coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zelmo Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Of course it'll mean a lot. This defense is built around the pass rush. Last week with JPP and Tollefson, we were adequate, which is very impressive considering those are theoretically our third and fourth DE's, but the pass rush needs to be excellent, not adequate, for this defense to hum. And it will be excellent when we have all those guys back. There are three things that looked really positive to me. First of all Kenny Philips. He looked a step or two slow closing to the ball in preseason, but last week he showed it was just that, preseason. He was quick to the ball and hit hard. I look forward to him separating many a receiver from the ball this season. Also Linval Joseph looked like he was getting a good push, I'm excited to see what he can do. And third, losing Goff is a big loss, and Greg Jones isn't quite the All-pro we hope he may be some day, but he's good enough that we aren't hemorrhaging at that position, which is huge for the defense. I still think Ross is garbage. I also think Corey Webster has been mailing it in. He needs to step up. -Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having Tuck, Osi, JPP, Tollefson, and Kiwi, really makes me wish we still had Spags. The blitz packages he would play with that line up give me the chills.
