[QUOTE="Bogart, post: 419857, member: 3900"] I talked with a buddy of mine last night about this in between Starcraft games, and he tried to convince me the lockout is the big rotten apple of why the Packers defense went to complete **** this season. According to this theory, the lock out, they didn't have enough time to evaluate and see that their linebackers (other than Clay) were not going to be that great. But from my point of view, you would think the lock out would hurt the offenses rather than defenses, since a defense overall should know the book better (3-4 or 4-3 is not as complicated as West Coast Offense or Run And Shoot or whatever offense you run). I don't fully agree with this, but it's a nice way to look at it I guess. If they had more time, maybe they would have been better prepared as a defense. Most have forgotten that Pittsburgh had defensive problems early this season. Go back to the first few games of the season and I think everyone quoted the Steelers as "old, tired, slow" cause that's how they looked against Baltimore and Houston, whom ran all over them. But the Steelers managed to get it together eventually. Another "Good" defense that has struggled is the Jets. Yet I don't really buy into the whole lock out hurting those guys. Rex's defense fails just like Buddy Ryan's defense does, they expose a weakness and a QB like Brady can make it worse and create a blue print on how to beat you through the air. Is it the secondary giving up all the big plays and huge chunks of points and yards or the fact there's no pressure at all on quarterbacks? Yes, and no. Leading the league in interceptions without a good blitz pressure, is actually Impressive to say at the least for a team that finished 32nd ranked overall in total defense. The Defense so far this season has to rely on all the back field, and they just can't do it all. There is talent there with all the interceptions, and Charles Woodson is a big play maker, and so on, but at the end of the day they can't do it all and that's why the defense has struggled all season. My friend had a good point, but I still think if Burnett, and possibly Pickett were still on this team, they could get better pressure than just relying on Clay to do it all. [/QUOTE]
