[QUOTE="Mondio, post: 811930, member: 10441"] I can't even count Perry other than cap money gone. Fackrell can be a starter. I think he has to be. I just don't see it as likely we upgrade that position that much in one year. Gilbert should be replaced if he doesn't make a big jump this offseason. He has so many weaknesses in his game I'm embarrassed to admit I thought he was going to surprise us this year in a good way. They elevated Donnerson from PS to roster didn't they? But I don't think I saw him active or in a game, so who knows what he has. I think Fackrell's sacks were a bit of an outlier for him, he's not a dominant pass rusher, and who knows where the defense is going if we change coordinators. But with Pettine and using scheme to put players in position to win, with more starters on the DL and confusion, I think he could have another decent year. He's not a standout, but he's turned into solid in the all around game. While I'd love to have a dominant pass rusher at both ends, I think we're asking for a bit much in 1 year with all the other needs and change going on around this team. But having 1 solid guy in a defense with Pettine who doesn't need dominant OLB's like Capers scheme called for can work. Our defenses will only get better with better players, but Pettine has shown he can put a good defense out there with less than stellar players. He just needs guys that can do their jobs and he'll give them opportunities to make plays. Even a stud rookie is probably not going to replace Fackrell at this point. Like I said earlier, maybe by year 2 or 3. and maybe last year he would have jumped ahead of him quickly, but he really worked on all aspects of his game and it became respectable. Of course all this depends on the direction of the team and coordinators. [/QUOTE]
