Message: <blockquote data-quote="Bertram" data-source="post: 149206" data-attributes="member: 817">You don't suppose that our overall defensive tackle count went down because the opponents offense had less posession of the ball than previous years. Our defense has been our weak link for several years now and the opponents have had the ball more. I think we improved last season and our offense had the ball more often because our defense managed to create important turnovers and stop the opponents offense dead.So actually if our defense and offense becomes even better, look for the number of tackles to go down. AJ Hawk was extremely important to us last season, he and the linebacker corp developed into a solid unit.Lombardi always said he would take the solid player whom gave everything he had always rather than the great player who didn't give everything he had all the time. The only way we can become a good team is by adding solid players at all positions. Of course we need some great players as well, but Hawk was a solid player as a rookie and might become a great as he develops.Greg Jennings showed he can play, unfortunatly he was injured. I will be looking for him to have an 800 - 900 yard season, if he's better at this point than I think it is he could surprise us with a 1000 yard season.</blockquote>
