[QUOTE="warhawk, post: 458625, member: 431"] Without pass rushers Capers was very limited in what he could do last year. It was obvious that there were personnel issues when you look at an offseason that brought in so many players that have shown they can get after the QB. I, for one, cannot lay the fact that the D's sack/pressure numbers fell flat on it's face last year on Caper's. He actually scaled back what he wanted to do because the pressure packages didn't work causing the high number of +25 yard plays we saw. You send 'em you better get 'em. That didn't happen and the D got burned badly. Capers choices were to send pressure and get burned for quick scores or put more DB's in the game and hold down the points enough to let our offense outscore the other team. A bad deal either way, but hey, we won 15 games. No question the D has to get better and I agree that a middle of the road ranking would probably improve the team enough to compete with the better teams in the playoffs that will go for the throat in any weak area we show. A consistant pass rush is a must to accomplish this and I think we have the interior guys and Perry along with Mathews and a little Woodson now and then to make that happen. [/QUOTE]
