Lets Pump Up This D!

After finishing the season with an 8-8-0 record in possibly one of the toughest divisions in the NFL, I am proud to say we are finally moving towards our ultimate goal: the playoffs and hopefully the Super Bowl.

I am excited by the way Mario Williams has played and was wondering which guys you would like to bring in on defense?

For me I am looking at Shawn Crable (6’5”, 241-Lbs, 4.65 40-yard dash). I think he could become a solid SAM linebacker for us and mesh well with Ryans.

BTW, here is my early defensive depth chart:


DE: Mario Williams

DT: Amobi Okoye

DT: Travis Johnson

DE: Anthony Weaver (Maybe Calais Campbell?)

OLB: Shawn Crable

MLB: DeMeco Ryans

OLB: Morlon Greenwood (Or Boss Bailey or Karlos Dansby)

CB: Fred Bennett

SS: Maybe (Kenny Phillips?)

FS: Wil Demps or Boulaware

CB: Dunta (If he can come back)

1. Any reason you wrote our record with the 0 ties thing?

2. Is that Q laying on the ground?

3. Dunta's not gonna be back until at least October.

I would ask Brakos for any questions that you might have

Yes that is Brady Quinn on the ground.

You gonna let someone come in and take your cornbread? You gotta step up and say "Hey, thats my cornbread and you cant have it."

I would like to see us land Briggs at LB, I think he is a UFA IIRC.

As stated Dunta will not be back until at least mid-season. We REALLY need another quality CB.

3. Oh okay, maybe we need a replacement untill then?

Is that really Quinn? He looks black. Maybe just my resolution.

[brakos82]

Holy crap he does.

Either you two are obsessed with corn bread or else it's from a movie.

To keep this track on thread, I wouldnt mind drafting a CB then moving Dunta over to FS when he gets back...

He has a tan line.

Agreed.

I guess we know how bah feels about it now, lol.

I don't mind it if it has to come to that, but I wouldn't ask for it.

Definitely 3rd worst case scenario.

Dunta probably would not be able to beef up the extra 15 - 30 pounds that would require him being a FS. If he were able to beef up, I seriously doubt that his agility wouldn't suffer (already has a horrific injury to his knee and hamstring) On top of that he never played FS, only SS and CB. All that added up, you get a lot of fans talking about moving a guy to a position he is too small for and has never played.

Why would you do that? If he comes back from the injury and his quickness has taken a hit, then we may move him to SS, but my guess is we move him to a nickel type corner and go ahead and groom his replacement. I think of all the positions in the defensive secondary FS is the LEAST likely position he would play in the '08 or '09 seasons.

That is what I think about this subject, now can we just let it die?

Honestly, I think he'd be killed as a FS. Although he's a solid CB who's one of our best tacklers, he's closing from only 5-10 yards tops. Closing from 15 yards against a 225 lb. RB 20-30 times a game isn't what he's built for. He just doesn't carry the weight to be anything but a CB on defense.
