Ok, so our Defense is in the doghouse and fans are jumping off the cliff claiming our season is doomed. We know we are giving up an ungodly amount of yards per game, currently #32 in the league. Besides the Cardinals game they have found a way to come through in the end and make some big stops helping us to a 5-1 #1 in the NFC West Record. Our PPG is a much more important stat and we are currently #23.
We have not had our full deck these first 7 games. The fact Ken Norton Jr is still the DC is almost like playing with one hand tied behind our back. Not to mention how these unexpected events have impacted our continuity and performance.
- Jamal Adams injury
- Marquis Blair season ending injury
- Bruce Irvin season ending injury
- Dunbar missing offseason work slowing adaption to our Defense.
- Rasheem Green Injury
- Clowney spurning us for Tennessee
- Jordyn Brooks injury
I see the light! I trust in Pete and by week 9 we should see a arsenal of new starters and improvements to key backups on the field.
1. Jamal Adams - Tone Setter and bring the attitude we need
2. Carlos Dunlap - Veteran who has maintaine success and has a chip on his shoulders
3. Snacks Harrison - A Veteran who if/when he is on his game is an Elite run stuffer and disrupter
4. Rasheem Green - Our leading sacker from last year and solid rotation guy.
5. Mychal Kendricks - Better than Barton, great depth for Bobby and KJ, can rush the passer
6. Lano Hill - Depth with knowledge our of Defense, Amadi and Neal are solid but there is nothing behind them.
7. Niko Thorpe - He is great ST's and we really don't' have much at CB with experience in this defense.
I guarantee that this defense is better than we think and the second half of the season we will play like a top 20 Defense.
