I hope Coach pulls up his favorite chair,gets comfy and watches Sunday what top tier defense looks like.He might remember not too long ago HIS defense played the same way.

:iagree:

Idk our 2005 defense was pretty nuts.

Ironically it is not much different personnel wise than it is today.

True. The good news for our defense is that the pieces are already here. We have, in my opinion, the personnel to field a good defensive product on Sundays; I dare say a top 5 defense with the right defensive scheme.

Just take this into consideration. The Eagles have an undersized D line, I'd say a similar secondary to the Panthers (I'd give the edge at LB to us) In saying all this they are playing lights out on defense. It's the scheme. No, we don't have Jim Johnson calling our plays but no matter who he plugs into that defense offenses know you have to respect the scheme. Look back at the Eagles' Superbowl team. Burgess...gone, Kearse...gone; Heck, Jeremiah Trotter gone, and Dawkins sure as he** isn't getting younger. Taking all of this into consideration you look at our young physical team, talented LB core. I'm going to say it now: If we get a DC in here whose philosophy is pressure and speed I guarantee we will be a force to be reckoned with.

Also, with the loss of Julius Peppers I think we'll have no choice but to change our philosophy on defense. We Lose Jenkins Last season but the blow was mitigated because we had Peppers. We lose Peppers we have to change it up if we are too compete. Unequivocally we have to change it up.

Just my 2 cent.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
