Ron Meeks, Beason, Peppers, and Gamble...

The combination of those 4 guys with the rest of the supporting cast on defense is going to make us a top 5 defense next year. I know we all hate it when Pep "takes plays off" but lets face it...he did it last year and ended up a pro bowler with 14.5 sacks. I feel like Ron Meeks is going to make this guy EXTREMELY happy. I have never thought any DE in the league was on Peppers level from a standpoint of potential and HOPEFULLY Meeks can get this guy to the hall of fame level he should be at already.

Beason and Gamble are studs and I don't really need to say anything more. When you have guys in your "supporting cast" with the talent of Harris, Davis, Godfrey, Marshall and the others we should have a top tier defense this year. Hopefully all of the first and second round draft picks we have spent on defense will pay off with Ron Meeks. Here's to a great defense in 2009.

I'd throw Brian Baker into this discussion too (and the other position coaches, probably).
no doubt.

the dynamic between baker and peppers is going to be the most interesting thing to watch. baker might just be what the doctor ordered.

I think the defense has some work to do and am encouraged that on the surface steps are being made to eliminate some problems that we have faced defensively for a few seasons. That being that the philosophy and scheme seem to be more in favor of the personnel we have (on paper at least) and leadership is intact on the field to to enforce the efforts as well.

You need to replace Ron Meeks with John Fox instead. As long as we have him in the mix we'll have a mediocre defense as usual. The only scheme Fox runs is the "conservative 11" defense.

      Bryce Young - High Ankle Sprain, out minimum 1 week

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Bryce hasn't done a single thing to prove he deserves to have his option picked up.  I'd have less of an issue with us declining the option and bringing him back as the starter next year than I would have us picking up that option, as that means he's on our cap books for the next 2 years instead of 1, even if he's cut before year 5. Tua threw for 3,500 yards with a 25-8 TD-INT ratio in just 13 starts the year before they picked up his option, and then threw for over 4,600 yards before they gave him his extension. Kyler threw for 3,722, 3,971, and 3,787 in 16, 16, and 14 games (while rushing for 544, 819, and 423 in those seasons) before they picked up his option and then signed him to an extension before year 4. Jones threw for 3,200 yards with a 3-1 TD-INT ratio with another 700 yards and 7 TDs rushing in year 4 before they signed him to his extension. Bryce has thrown for 2,877 and 2,400 yards in 16 and 12 starts his two seasons, while being on pace for 3,128 yards in a 17 game season so far this year. The closest comparison to any of them was Jones, who while he's turned it around this year, is someone I think everyone can agree was not a player who deserved that extension after that season. If people think those other QB's having their options picked up and/or given extensions were a mistake, in what world can you look at what Bryce has done and make any rational argument for him even being brought back as our starter next year, let alone also picking up his option that would cost us about $27 million fully guaranteed.

      Trade for a QB?

      I don't think we would actually play Hooker but hopefully we also just don't see. I don't view Dalton/Bryce as a worse option than Winston/Howell. I just think we disagree on this specific subject is all.

      I guarantee tepper would fire him if we lost out and he’d be justified
