I like the over...

You guys are gonna put up lots of points next season, but I don't know that your D is straightened out yet.

Considering Marvin Lewis was known for his defense before he was an HC are you relying on that to improve your D through coaching?

Partially, but coaching can only do so much.

I think our D has a chance to be decent this year for two reasons:

1) Less injuries...we had quite a few defensive starters out last season.

2) More experience for the young guys...we had quite a few defensive rookies who will come on much stronger this year with a season under their belts...

That said, we could have injury problems again and our rookies may not come through as expected. We'll have to wait and see.

well i think the whole guru crap is overated.

look at brian billick he;s an offensive genius apperently.....lotts good that 31st rated o does him.

now look at tony dungy... he;s a defensive guru a lot of good that Colts D does......

It's al about talent either ya got a ton of it or ya don't.

Now I'll admit Marvin will be able to coach these players up and get em to play well, but we don;t have the talent in out front 7 or in 1 of our safetiesto be a top D.

as soon as we fix 2 of these DT, DE, LB or SS were set to be a top 10 D.

I'm just a little pissed we let Takeo Go, i think we had a top 10 D like ever year he was here... with crap hole corners.

Imagine our D with takeo in the middle....man.

It would be a TKO then.

[HairOnFire]

Yeah, but Takeo didn't want to stay. Said something about not wanting to waste his best years waiting for yet another rookie QB to develope.

Now try to tell me that some punchlines don't write themselves.

Having Ray Lewis or Greg Lloyd in their prime will make anybody look like a genius. But I have faith in Marvin. I think the fact that Les Frazier is gone speaks volumes to what he has in mind.
