Are we worrying about the wrong thing?

[Udogg]

Last year preseason, the theme was OMG.. We have no DT's and only one DE who only plays half the time so thats like have 1/4 of a DE. We are going to be horrible on defense. Ron Meeks is a horrible DC etc... However it turned out the offense was horrible, or a least turnover prone. Somehow Ron Meeks got the D playing well, and low and behold we have the 8th ranked Defense at years end.

Will it be the exact opposite this year? The theme this preseason has been OMG we can't move the ball. Moore sucks, Claussen sucks, every WR not named Steve Smith sucks and our OL couldn't keep Taylor Swift from sacking our QB. However the defense looks good. Do you guys think that there is a possibility of a role reversal once the season start? Discuss....

I think the running game will bring it at first, obviously, but the passing game may take a game or two to gel. Once we start rolling though, I believe that both sides of the ball will be the hungriest football team out there. Maybe a little biased, but I think we are in for a surprise...could be wrong though, just have a feeling.

....yep.... I rather like a little adversity for the team....the deck is stacked, young team with something to prove, radar? What radar?

I think the concerns about the offenses inability to move the ball through the air are legitimate. Having Steve Smith out there will make a difference, but it can't all hinge on one guy.

If smith gets injured it's going to be a long LONG season.

That is what I am worried about, above anything else.

Worked for Jake.

Not saying that it's a good idea, but I'm pretty sure that's how they rolled in 2005, and I daresay that Williams/Stewart/Sutton/Goodson-Vaughan >>>>>> than Davis/Foster/Goings/Robertson.

Thats usually the way things work.

I don't really get that comparison. In the preseason, overall the defense played like doody. The passing game didn't really look all that sharp.

In the regular season, the defense played like doody and the passing game wasn't sharp until the end of the season. Anybody that said we sucked was right. It took the team 11 games to start playing well.

The 09 preseason pretty much predicted the 09 regular season. Doesn't usually happen that way but last year it did.

i dunno, an interesting thought though. i strongly believe our defense will be good. they could have been good last season from the start had the offense not turned the ball over so much. which i think will strongly apply to this season. if our offense or special teams continues to turn the ball over, our defense will suffer as the season wears on.

[PantherFanOne]

The whole offense defense scheme is a work in progress but i can see it coming together sooner,rather than later.

I don't see what's so funny.

The defense will be nasty this year and the Offense will come together after a few games, though it will be disappointing for a few games. I doubt we will win against the Giants, though it won't be a blowout loss.
