I wish we still had this defense

Man that hit at 2:01 would have undoubtedly been flagged in todays game, probably a fine too.

i miss it to..but i think as our defense stands right now were a DB and a DT away from bein just as good

That video brings back some real 'warm, fuzzy' to me! One thing that seems to be apparent is that the 'Cats never replaced the 'tude' Minter brought to the team. He was a hard hitting son-of-a-gun, and I miss him. I think the team does too!

It'll be a while before we're that good again. I'm thinking 3-5 years. Makes you wonder how Baltimore, Chicago (slipping) and Pittsburgh keep it up year after year though.

Beason and Harris are bringing it back

[Fireball77]

I don't think it will take that many years if Meeks is good and they fill some holes.

Good defensive coordinators.

I don't know if I would say that. Comparing the '03 starters to the '09 projected starters:

DE: Peppers > Johnson

DT: Jenkins > Kemoeatu

DT: Buckner > Lewis

DE: Rucker > Brayton

OLB: Witherspoon > Davis

MLB: Morgan = Beason

OLB: Greg Favors < Diggs

CB: Terry Cousin < Gamble

CB: Reggie Howard = Marshall

SS: Minter = Harris

FS: Deon Grant > Godfrey

Every starter on the defensive line was better than every starter we'll have next year. Linebackers and secondary are pushes.

Not to mention we had good depth on the bench.

Al Wallace

Ricky Manning Jr.

[Brooklyn Bully]

Exactly. With our current crop, it'll take a few years to build it up to being top notch. Ain't going to happen this year. Thankfully we have an outstanding offense right now.

[Ashor]

lol My video with different music. My videos keep getting swagger jacked on youtube I swear.

[Mr. Scot]

Mike Minter, Mike Rucker, Brentson Buckner and The Principal in their prime...

A pre-disgruntled Julius Peppers and Kris Jenkins...

A pre-rule enforcement change Ricky Manning Jr...

Will Witherspoon, and a mostly healthy Dan Morgan...

And Sam Mills coaching the linebackers...

I could cry

I like many of the elements we have in place now, mind you, but that defense could knock the snot out of people.

" coaching "

[Scrumtrilescent]

Man, I miss Shane Burton, too. And sorry, Harris is better than Minter.
