The announcers asked us what is our "identity", and in my opinon, our identity has always been about being a defensive team. Our offense has never been particularly special, we've just had the ability to rely on our defense to come up big for us. And I am just shocked how bad we have mishandled our personnel on the defensive side of the ball. It's also shocking how bad our defense is considering Capers is our head coach, a guy that has always been a good defensive guy. I thought we would get better as the season went on, as we did last year and the year before that. But right now, we just SUCK.
Right now, I would do anthing to have the likes of Sharper, Foreman, and Glenn back. Not to mention a whole slew of guys who we let go who are playing very well with other teams such as Wright and Posey. I mean, our safties are non-existent, and the only guy who can make a tackle in our secondary is Dunta Robinson. Babin hasn't panned out to say the least considering what we paid for him, and Pat Buchanon has to be the stupidest personnel decision we have made in franchise history. And as for Greenwood's "speed" helping us out on defense, I hardly ever hear his name called (unlike Sharper's).
How did we go so wrong?!? We were in the top 3rd of the NFL in defense and we've been going downhill ever since. And it has to be Casserly's fault first of all, since the decline of talent is totally obvious. Capers has a history of being very good with the 3-4 D and I think he needs to take control of this defense.
