Anyone who is a realist and isn't drinking the kool-aid can see that our defense leaves alot to be desired. Yes, they were better then last years defense.. but when you are dead last it's always considered an improvement when you don't finish last again right?
So for those of us who understand defense such as schemes, personel etc let's just pretend that TT has handed the reigns of the defense over to you and said i need you to fix this mess. You can change the scheme and i'll even spend some money in free agency if need be to make us one of the best defenses in the league. What would you do? would you change the scheme? what Free agents would you bring in? what defensive player would you take in the draft? who would start? keep in mind that if you spend money you have to consider the fact that Clay Matthews and BJ Raji both have contratcs coming to a end.
I would leave the scheme the same at the 3-4 but with some new faces sprinkled in.
I would re-sign clay Matthews first and foremost but not Raji... altho he would start until his contract is up then i would give him the franchise tag for one year.
I would sign OLB Paul Krueger from Baltimore. Outside of T suggs he is their best pass rusher and could you imagine him on the opposite side of clay Matthes for years to come? yikes!!!
I would insist TT trade down and get Manti Te'o in the draft and those would be the first moves i make to fix the defense and probably the only major ones.
ROLB Clay Matthews
ILB Desmond Bishop
ILB *Manti Te'o (rookie) rd1
LOLB Paul Krueger
DE Ryan Pickett/Nick Perry would be used on passing downs as a rush DE
NT *Jesse Williams NT (rookie) rd2
DE Bj Raji
CB Sam Shields
CB Casey Hayward
FS Charles Woodson
SS Morgan Burnett
*I would find sombody to trade AJ Hawk to. Maybe Cleveland will bite and give me third rd pick for him and pick up his contract.
