@Davjay1983 @Bobbyp84 yeah thats true dude, and I think if we can establish a good pass rush than that should take some stress off our cover guys. While drew brees and philip rivers had all day to throw than chances of him finding an open guy is high and wares down our defense so I agree that we need depth on that. But I have a good feeling about our crew this year and hopefully our front 4 can make plays and not put it all on our DBs. I also think that the addition of bryan anger will help our defense as well. They will have alot more room to work with. Didn’t we lead three league in 3 and outs the last 2 years? If we can continue doing that with anger than that will help our offense more as well. And with the ravens and steelers… They didn’t get blown out as much like we did, but our defense was on the field alot more than theirs. Our offense could not stay on the field and its been proven that when a defense spends the whole time on the field than that causes ware and tear. Also you can imagine their morale and frustration last year with the offense

Although the numbers are there, I dont believe teams that have a top 10 defense should ever go 5-11. And yes, those blowouts can be blamed on the defense. Anytime the opposing team has the ball, and are successful in scoring, its always the defense’s fault. Luke McCown and MJD arent out there defending our end zone.

@Bobbyp84
The numbers are there. but look at the best defenses in the league, Bobby. The Ravens, Steelers, etc…do they get blown out that many times? I’m not referring to anything but the defense. Just saying our cover guys have to get better, and if injuries DO happen which they will we have to have better depth.
