Against a Payton-less Saints*...

What would you consider a strong outing for our defense after a relatively decent opening performance against the Bucs?

They still managed to rack up 32 points against a good Redskins defense and now they've got us. The Saints* playcalling was not as good and they just weren't as fluid as previous seasons but bottom line is that they still racked up a lot of points.

I think the other side of the ball will help out the defense if they can manage long sustained drives and not weasel out once they get downfield. With Stewart back I expect more efficient play and shorter 2nd downs. If they do so, we can control the tempo and our defense will be fresh. I'm not trying to put pressure on a second game for a rookie but if Kuechly steps up along with TD and our CBs play good enough...we've got this and go 1-1.

So yeah, realistically this game sounds do-able...If our defense can hold them to under 24 points we can win this thing pending our offense deciding to not play like an 8 year old trying to play madden.

I'd feel more comfortable if we held them under 17 this week unless Stewart is 100%. When that happens we should be able to 24+ on anybody.

I wouldn't be comfortable, I would be shocked.

If we can keep them under 24 that's a good outing in my book for how the defense has been under McRivera so far

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.
