    After watching how the Cowboys defense totally shut down Andrew Luck and the Colts, that's the kind of defense I wish the Titans had. I want opposing OC's to not have a clue how to game plan against our D. A defense that causes turnovers giving the offense short fields on a regular basis will do wonders for a struggling team, IMO.

    We have more needs on defense. If our OL was healthy with a couple patches and Mett has some time in the pocket then I don't think our offense will be all that bad next year. Throw in another RB and WR.

    Defensively, idk. Casey is a lock, Williamson, Woodyard(?), and McCourty. Morgan is a FA who I would like to bring back because not only is that one less hole to fill but he's also been pretty solid for us. Go with Williams or Gregory at #2 or even trade back and still get a defensive guy such as Collins or Beasley. Priority is adding pass rushers. We also need a vet at CB, tired of depending on young inexperienced CBs to line up across from J-Mac. That philosophy should fly anymore. Pollard is fine for another year I guess. Griffin needs to go but I doubt we cut him.

    Who is the last 2nd round pick we actually hit on? This is based off memory:

    Sankey - doesn't look good
    Hunter - bust
    Brown - jury still out
    Ayers - had takent, never put it together in TN. Really solid player for NE now.
    No Pick - traded
    Sen'Derrick Marks - Did nothing special here. Playing well in Jax.
    Jason Jones - nothing special
    Chris Henry - need I say more

    That's dating back to 2007 draft. Pretty much craptastic.

    As impressive and overachieving the Cowboys defense has been, it's still not that great of a defense.

    The Cowboys are where they are because of their offensive line, Murray, Romo, and Dez more so than defense.

    The Cowboys defense is most impressive because it went from being one of the worst defenses in history to being formidable. And that's after they lost Ware and Hatcher in free agency and Lee for the season.

    I thought they'd be TERRIBLE. Historically bad... They proved me wrong.

    We're closer on offense than we are on defense at this point. I though our defense has played well at times this year, can't blame them for the offense keeping them on the field.

    We role with Mett at QB and acquire a new Guard and RT, power back, and possession receiver. As long as Mett performs well we should be set.

    On defense we could use improvement everywhere.

    No matter what we are garunteed the 2nd overall pick win or loss. Buccs has to win and us lose now to receive 1st overall.

    Ive always liked McCourty, great guy outside of football, great open field tackler, but he would rather play it safe then try for the interceptions.

    I agree, their defense isn't one of the tops in the league. I think you misunderstood my point. I was saying I wish we had the type of defense that could shut down the likes of Andrew Luck the way they did. Right now, with the talent we have, that's just not gonna happen.

    Idk why JC still thinks McCourty is better than Verner.

    I like McCourty as a #2, but I hated the contract we gave him.

    Verner has always been better.
