We have mediocre talent at CB (besides Dunta), awful safties, backup linebackers (besides Demeco), no pass rush, and a rookie first round pick (The Sackmaster) who is playing like a fourth round rookie.
Put that with a rookie defensive coach who wasn't Kubiak's first choice, and you have the defense giving up close to 500 yards per game.
This week is the final test for this group under Richard Smith. If sorry ol' Miami puts up 400+ yards against us, this season is basically over and we should start 2008 draft threads. Culpepper has been sacked around 15 times I think. This is Mario's chance to shine, he should dominate the pathetic Miami offensive line and put the hurt on.
