Comparing the last 4-3 defensive roster Rivera had to ours...

[Ashor]

I tried to limit my bias but I don't see how our personnel + some DTs will limit Rivera to do his job which involves a top 5 defense.

Also the Bears defense didn't single offhandedly get them to the SB. They had excellent special teams and while their run game wasn't dominant it was good enough for them to control the clock.

Give the 2010 Panthers D some DTs and an average offense = 2006 Bears D.

Gut the 2006 Bears D and cripple the offense = 2010 Panthers D

Again, I admire your passion but I think you are wrong. We're both on the same side here but no way this team was even close to Bears Super Bowl team or any Super Bowl winner or loser for that matter. Our record reflects how bad this team was in every aspect.

Anyone remember the QB's from that super bowl team??? Exactly. Actually I do, it was Rex grossman but while he was out a young Kyle Orton filled in pretty well. Would love Kyle Orton next year but I don't think he is available. If Jimmy can be as good as grossman (not saying much) the defense shouldn't be a problem next year.

People forget that we had a solid defense this year despite our DTs. Pur defense would have looked WAY better if it were not formthe O. (BTE, I am in no way saying we dint need a DT. We need at least one.)

Urlacher was better then than Beason is now.

Gamble is a very good cover corner, but not the playmaker of Vasher or Tillman. I think with Munny at the 2, which o don't want, I think we have an edge.

What you're eluding to, and rightly so, is that the unit does look a lot like what Rivera terrorizes the league with.

You really think Urlacher was better than Beason? Jon didn't get to play inside this year, consistently anyways. Plus he had crap DT's.

Ugh. I REALLY hope not. We could sign a really fat 10th grader and get the same results.

This is, without a doubt, the stupidest thing I have ever seen or read on this board since I've been here.
