[QUOTE="vince, post: 616941, member: 10935"] Yeah there are indeed a lot of questions about the defense, inexperience and a potential lack of depth all over. I'd say the answers to those questions will be determined by the D's ability to pressure the QB. It's been said that the defense doesn't need to carry the team which I think is true. It does need to be good enough to get stops when they're needed though. That starts and ends with getting after the QB. They gotta bring it and I think they can. That backfield is going to be inexperienced but they're also going to be aggressive. Shields, Hayward, Hyde, Dix and Burnett has the potential to make a damn good backfield. Add in the possibilities with Randall and Rollins (he and Hyde could be all over the place) and that's a group with some skills. Matthews is going to be in more places to make plays this year. Neal and Perry will need to carry a lot of weight. If they can stay healthy I think they can get it done,. Mulumba might be a forgotten man who gets after it this camp and shows a jump from his rookie year to make a contribution. He may have the best movement skills of all the reserve OLB candidates. Somebody needs to emerge at both inside and outside linebacker, as well as on the DL. It's a yeoman's group but if the gap stuffers (Raji, Boyd, Thornton, Pennel, Hooks - eventually Guion) can do their part to lock down the run early, and with their offense they'll have opportunities to make teams one-dimensional and get pressure with Daniels, Jones, Peppers, Neal, Perry, Matthews, Barrington, plus Hyde, Rollins and the safeties. I'm a devout homer but I see some playmakers there. The talent could very well be there for the defense to come together. I hope I don't regret saying this, but I think it'll be a better tackling group than recent years. I've wavered on Capers over the last couple years. I think he's a mastermind but he undoubtedly tends to sit back a lot with the lead. If the defense executes perfectly that's justifiable. They too often haven't, and this group is more inexperienced, though I think more talented. Capers needs to go Buddy Ryan on the league this year. [/QUOTE]
