Our defense scares the hell out of me with three important pieces of the puzzle getting up there in age.Porter,Taylor,Ferguson.They can show there age very quickly or there experience plus you have Wake who is a huge question mark. You have Crowder who has trouble making game changing turnovers.
We have a secondary that will be tested very early and very often.The secondary could be protected with a great pass rush like Porter produced the first part of last season but Porter was nowhere to found the last few games.Did he hit the wall or did he get old very fast or did teams figure out the one trick pony move of his?
Hopefully injuries and age won't get to our defense.So my worries are with our defense %100%
Hopefully Langford,Merling,Roth all continue to improve and step up
Safety position looks strong but an injury could spell trouble
Green and J.Allens days may be numbered
Only experienced quality vet is W.Allen
Question marks with backups at almost every position on defense
I think it will be another draft or two before we improve what we have in backups to the point where the drop off between starters and backups is not that great
