Meeks will prove to be the best acquisition of the offseason

I hope anyway.

Comes in and instills discipline, the Cover 2 or a variation and if the mistakes can be cut down and guys know and play their roles, I think the boys do well.

I am like you. I surely hope he is able to turn things around. I would so love to have a tough defense that plays smart and makes few mistakes. It was really upsetting to see how many times we would hold a team in the past few years only to give up a big play on third down as our secondary was out of position or one of our linemen gets free in the backfield only to wiff on an easy sack. If Meeks can help us play defense like Tampa played using a similar system, we will be tough to beat.

I think we'll see the marked improvement in season 2 under his stewardship

The team could have replaced Turdo with pile of wet sawdust and it would still be considered a massive improvement.

You are probably right. It should take some game experience before everyone learns their roles and stop making mistakes. Hopefully they still show progress this year as well. After last year's collapse it won't be that hard.

nothing better than an attacking defense

[SorthNarolina]

His run D has never been impressive and that worries me a lot.

I think our back seven will thrive in this defense but I'm worried like we all are about what's in store for our D-line.

i agree with this.....

No, the biggest acquisition was in getting Peppers to turn around and want to sign a long term agreement. After that it's Meeks, sure. Some could argue that it was Meeks that got him to want it, but I would argue that it was more that nobody else wanted him at the price in this economy... I'm sure he also didn't mind Meeks being here, but that wasn't his main motivation IMO...

I just want the defense to be a top 10 defense. That's all. You know to go with the top 10 offense that we have.

[PhillyB]

i expect we'll give up more big plays under Meeks - the aggressive style of play will allow a few big ones to slip through now and then. but we'll be vaunted.

Chris Harris is gonna be beast ( I mean he already is ) Imagine him doing a bob sanders impression, just knocking mofos out all game.

I'm glad you brought this up, it allows me to post my Motivational Poster again!

Look at it this way, our defense with Trgo and Peppers last year wasn't really all that great. I think the Meeks hiring not only helped get Pep to want to sign long-term, but also re-energized the rest of our defense. Everyone is excited about it and I personally can't wait to see what they do under his guidance.
