Well we need more than just TJ it was a start I will say that, But we dont have D line penetration from a 3-4 standpoint.
OLB Peek is a good pass rusher but he needs to perfect his technique his angles to the qb are too sharp and he gets pinched by an experienced LT. His shedding move needs some work along with babins they just seem to like velcro themselves to an o lineman..
our MLBs need to diagnose the play and get in position faster.. they always seem to be 5 yards off on runs..
Corner wise I expect Big improvement from Buchanon, Our coverage schemes blew because our lack of penetration allows recievers to work open. I think Buchanon was not comfotable and felt he would have safety help more than he did.. Im hoping in year 2 with a fresh defense that he will come around as he will be learning with the rest of the players and be on the same page..
Safety to me this position is our most perplexing... I cant really grade any of them out at all they all played good at some points at others looked completely horrid..any one wanna shed more light on safeties please do because they were so inconsistent part of me wants to get rid of em all and start fresh..

Casserly did say in an interview that TJ could play any position on a 3-4 DL, but in practice and in the games his time has been spent at DE. TJ is much more similar to Walker than he is to Payne or any classic 3-4 NT.

I think that it depends on what scheme we'll go with this yr. but I think that if we stay with the current 3-4 we should get a NT. I think that is a vital part of this scheme and one in which we are lacking. I am sure there will be a good NT in the second like Watson or Wright. If we went with the 4-3 then I would think our biggest need would be DE I feel that we are overloaded at many of our positions with guys we just don't utilize. So I would hope some people might be involved in a trade or something, but our d-line, no our defense on a whole needs a lot of small adjustments. I think we need tweaks in our system, but it's so many tweaks that we need the problem seems overwhelming.

I read in the Chronicle that Sherman is going to joing the staff as the OC, but I haven't seen any big post about it, or really any mention of it at all. Am I reading the below blurb incorrectly, is he not our new OC?
Any help would be great:

One candidate to join Kubiak as offensive coordinator is former Green Bay coach Mike Sherman, who was fired at season's end. Sherman was the offensive line coach at Texas A&M in 1992-93, when Kubiak coached Aggies running backs.

Ok, I was taking it as if he had joined already.
I heard on NFL Total Access last night that Sherman would not take a coordinator position this year, that if a HC position wasn't available that he would opt to sit out a year and wait.

Mike Heimerdinger Information
Heimerdinger, 52, joins the Jets after having served the past five seasons (2000-2004) as the offensive coordinator of the AFC Souths Tennessee Titans, where he annually directed one of the NFLs most potent offensive attacks. From 1999 -2003, all of the Titans offensive weapons posted career-high numbers and produced an NFL MVP in QB Steve McNair. In 2003, the Titans scored the most points (435) since 1961 and the second highest total in franchise history. The Titans offense also posted a franchise record with six consecutive games scoring 30 or more points last season and became only the third NFL team to accomplish such a streak since 1970 (St. Louis Rams, San Diego Chargers).
In both 2002 and 2003, the Titans produced the first two 3,000/1,000/1,000 yard seasons in the 45-year history of the franchise with McNair throwing for more than 3,000 yards, Eddie George rushing for over 1,000 yards and Derrick Mason recording 1,000 receiving yards.
In the five-year period that Heimerdinger directed the offense, they were the most productive in terms of yards (26,962), passing yards (17,638) and first downs (1,517) since the "run-n-shoot" years over a decade ago. Over the course of his tenure in Tennessee, the Titans averaged 337 yards per game in total offense, 220.5 yards a game passing and 19 first downs a game.
In addition, the Titans ranked in the top five in the NFL in time of possession in each of the last five seasons.
Heimerdinger joined the Titans after five seasons coaching the wide receivers for the two-time world champion Denver Broncos. Under his tutelage, the Denver tandem of Ed McCaffrey and Rod Smith became one of the top wide receiving duos in the NFL. Heimerdinger came to Denver in 1995 from Duke University where he was the offensive coordinator and running backs coach in 1994. Before his stint at Duke, Heimerdinger spent five years (1989-93) as offensive coordinator at Rice University. During his tenure, the Owls produced the school's first back-to-back winning seasons since 1960-61. In 1988, Heimerdinger also served as offensive coordinator at Cal-State Fullerton, where his club set the school's single-game record for most points scored with 58.
A native of DeKalb, IL (10/13/52), Heimerdinger played wide receiver (1970-71) and centerfield at Eastern Illinois, where he earned his degree in history in 1975. He also participated in the NCAA Division II College World Series in 1974. He later earned his masters in Administration from Northern Illinois. Mike and his wife, Kathie are parents of daughter, Alicia (22) and son, Brian (18).
Here is some 2004 information on the new offensive coordinator:
Mike Heimerdinger enters his fifth season as offensive coordinator for the Titans. In his first four seasons at the offensive controls, the Titans have transformed into a wide receiver-driven offense that also can control the game with its rushing attack. In the past four seasons all of the Titans offensive weapons have posted career-high numbers and produced an NFL MVP in QB Steve McNair.
Last year, the Titans scored the most points (435) since 1961 and the second highest in franchise history. The Titans offense also posted a franchise record with six consecutive games scoring 30 or more points last season and became only the third NFL team to accomplish such a streak since 1970 (St. Louis Rams, San Diego Chargers).
In each of the last two years, the Titans produced the first two 3,000/1,000/1,000 yard seasons in the 44-year history of the franchise with Steve McNair throwing for more than 3,000 yards, Eddie George rushing for over 1,000 yards and Derrick Mason recording 1,000 receiving yards . The current four-year period has been the most productive in terms of yards (21,475), passing yards (14,022) and first downs (1,209) since the "run-n-shoot" years over a decade ago. Additionally, the Titans have ranked in the top 5 in the NFL in time of possession in each of the last four seasons.
QB Steve McNair has developed into an elite NFL quarterback under Heimerdinger, being named AP Co-MVP of the league last season. He became the first quarterback in franchise history to win the award and only the second overall (Earl Campbell, 1979). He was the only NFL quarterback last year to register a quarterback rating over 100 and has the highest rating in the NFL over the last three years (90.9) among quarterbacks with at least 40 starts (of a possible 48). McNair produced a touchdown in each of his 14 starts last year and in 39 of the last 41 games, including a team record stretch of 23 consecutive games with at least one touchdown pass, surpassing Warren Moon. In 2001, McNair was the youngest quarterback of five in the NFL to record a rating over 90 and throw for 20+ touchdowns (Favre, Warner, Gannon and Garcia), becoming the first AFC Central quarterback to accomplish the feat since Warren Moon in 1991.
Over the last four seasons WR Derrick Mason established himself as a "go to" receiver, totaling 4,338 receiving yards, 27 touchdowns and a Pro Bowl invitation last year. He became the first wide receiver in franchise history to record three consecutive 1,000 yard receiving seasons and posted the fourth highest yardage total for the Titans/Oilers last year with 1,303 yards. RB Eddie George surpassed the 1,500-yard rushing plateau in 2000, has scored 40 touchdowns over the last four seasons and surpassed the 10,000-yard career rushing mark last season. Heimerdinger also has overseen the development of the Titans young offensive weapons Drew Bennett, Erron Kinney, Shad Meier, Tyrone Calico - each set career highs last season.
Heimerdinger joined the Titans after five seasons coaching the wide receivers for the two-time world champion Denver Broncos. Under his tutelage, the Denver tandem of Ed McCaffrey and Rod Smith became one of the top wide receiving duos in the NFL.

Heimerdinger began his coaching career in 1975 in the high school ranks of Illinois and earned a head coaching job at Johnsburgh High School in McHenry, Ill. Two years later, he served as a graduate assistant coach at the University of Florida in 1980. He spent 1981 at Air Force and at North Texas State in 1982 before returning to Florida in 1983. He spent five years at Florida before moving onto Cal-State Fullerton. A native of Dekalb, Ill. (10/13/52), Heimerdinger played wide receiver (1970-71) and centerfield at Eastern Illinois, where he earned his degree in history in 1975.

I like this about Sherman coming in as asst. HC I think he could compliment Kubes. Does anyone have any other thought on this.
