I can't put my finger on it but our defense is missing somethig. Can someone tell me what it is.
 
A good ILB. Another Zach Thomas to sniff out runs and stop them in the backfield.

But there is no other Zach Thomas.
 
Coverage lbs...better cornerbacks (other than W Allen) who make plays...ditto safeties...and another pass rusher...seasoning out of Merling, Langford...that being said they will get there eventually.
 
a consistent pass rush, if teams take Joey out of the play, we got nothing. Its not our secondary that is the primary concern.

For our system we need another pass rusher, plus another plug up the middle cause fergusun can't fill a whole game. Solai cant seem to figure it out.
 
our defense is missing the same thing as our offense; CONISISTENCY
 
Talent. JFerg is fine. Actually our line is fine, despite today's play. OUr linebackers are a patchwork corps. JP is a pure 3-4 OLB. Roth is not. That whole experiment is a failure. I'm surprised that more teams haven;t keyed on him. Crowder is fine, but limited. Same with Adayle, but, somhow, Akin seems to come up with big plays, doesn't he? Our DBs stink. Bell is good. WAllen is good. Other than that, we are overmatched.
 
we need another corner on the other side of Allen. then with goodmen an hopefully a young drafted DB we will have depth. Same on the line, one more pass rusher a young DT an hopefully another signed for depth. But B.P. will bring another playmaking LB, an that will prolly come from the draft.
Bell is having a good season an Hill doesn't truly ever kill us so i see someone coming in that is a playmaker or prolly just another drafted S. even tho i feel we don't need it.
Overall with the talent we have on D_fense we are doing pretty decent. the run D has been slacking alittle tho....
 
We need faster LB's, since we have such a beefy D-Line, when the backs get past them our LB's aren't really swarming to the ball.. they seem to just be "there"

Maybe it isn't speed we need though, I think it could also be just smarter/more aggresive ones, we all know Zach wasn't the fastest guy out there, but he used the speed he had to attack the ball carrier for mere 1-2 yard gains
 
Its missing playmakers, plain and simple. There are a bunch of nice pieces right now to build your D around, but you can't have this unit as your base defense. Oh, and the secondary needs some work. I like Bell and Will Allen, and you can keep Goodman for depth. But other than that I dont care who stays or goes.
 
We need a pass rush. Any QB looks stellar against us when there is no pressure for them to throw. Nt and 2 lb's next year I hope.
