    Orakpo was the guy who stood out the most to me as Gut has said. Guy is a stud and I just hope he doesn't get injured. We got him at a great discount as well if he stays on the field, a couple of years ago he was going to cash in at a much bigger contract then what he finally got.

    Al Woods has been in the backfield quite a bit for only playing 5 series so far.

    Sammie hasn't dressed yet..

    I saw a couple of steelers like blitzes with the two middle LBs..they were awesome. Looking forward to see more stuff like that.

    Sammie hill supposed to be back, woods looked legit against the Rams... I'd hope woods holds onto that starting NT spot

    You guys are crazy if you think we'll have a average or top 15 defense. Yes, we looked O.K. against the Rams in preseason... but... it's the Rams... in preseason. I think what we saw against Atlanta is a more realistic expectation. I like the enthusiasm, but I won't get my hopes up. I'm always surprised by how quickly opinions change on this board.

    We have a few pieces here and there that look good, but overall, our personnel isn't that great. There's was a reason we finished second to last last year, or whatever it was. Orakpo and Dick aren't miracle workers.

    Am I hoping for the best, yes. Are we moving in the right direction, probably. Will I be confident in our defense stepping on to the field every week, absolutely not.

    I seriously hope I'm wrong. Fingers crossed.

    Really? Woods has gotten a significant push consistently both games.

    We have the talent, maybe not deep depth, but that talent is there.

    It's like dominos, if we get that one piece that we have been missing everything could fall into place.

    Don't underestimate the signing of Searcy either.

    We also have a top 10 DT/DE in Casey. We have a upcoming MLB in Avery. ZB has shown he could be a impact player. Morgan has always been a a good pass rusher, just hasn't been able to finish. Orakpo could be the cherry on top. I like Griff, you guys love to hate on him, but he is a leader on this defense. He is also hit or miss.

    This is the second year in the 3-4. It's going to come a lot easier for them. Also, Dick...

    Our corners is my biggest issue. I'm hoping our front 7 help mask the obvious weakest link in our D with some good pass rush.

    The Falcons game, it was only one series against their number 1's. We did not game plan for their offense at all according to Wyatt.


    I don't see why we couldn't turn the corner regarding the defense.

    also what's the saying... The best defense is a good offense.

    I believe we have our guy in Mariota. If we can get this Oline on track, we are going places.

    We are a very young team, with talent in every position. We just have to put it all together consistently
