Discussion About the Defense

[clonedude]

Uwazurike has never lived up to any of the hype.... he gets no pressure.... and Peterson seems better against the run than he is at putting pressure on the QB.

At LB, Rose needs to be in the middle.... he got bigger this year and lost some speed.

In the secondary, the corners were young and inexperienced and it showed, and Eisworth and Lewis were dinged up all year. The way Eisworth tackles, I wouldn't count on him playing more than about 7-8 games next year too. He's another Bob Sanders.

I think the staff will switch between a 4-2-5 and a 3-3-5 a lot more next year. Sub McDonald in when you need more pass rush as a stand up DE, and hopefully one of the young LB’s can step up and be a good coverage linebacker when you switch back to the 3-3. If Bankston lives up to the hype, that’s a scary 4 front with McDonald-Eny-Bankston and Bailey/Peterson at the other DE spot. Would also free Rose and Vance a lot as well.
