Impressive showing for the worst unit in the history of NFL last season.

I’m not going to trust them off the numbers they put up against Falcons and Bucs backups. 
 

That said, they clearly should be way better than last year's atrocity. They added better guys at every level of the defense.

Defense has to be better you can’t do much worse it’s no shock. The defense will carry this team this year, Downing was and is a terrible OC. 

Really?

 

You're evaluating the units based on preseason?

 

I share your optimism about the defensive improvement but we can't judge the offense at all and preseason is not exactly the best way to know where you're at because no one on either side game planned against weaknesses.

Don’t need preseason I live out in San Diego and downing was with raiders all my raider buddies told me every week how terrible he was. People are in for a rude awakening just wait..

Assuming you are right, you think the OC can screw up this offensive talent? If our OL holds up I don't see how.

 

And the defense? If you're that down on the coach being the problem why are you optimistic about the defense?

I'm skeptical of the pass rush but if they've got some good man cover corners, they can blitz to make up for it. I like what I've seen from Fulton and Molden. Jenkins should be solid. Anything we get from Farley will be a bonus.

With so much youth at CB, how much will we blitz and how much will we NEED to blitz to generate pressure on opposing QBs are big questions. We should get an idea after the first couple of games.

 

Why does it have to be about need?

 

If your guys can cover and you can overwhelm the OL w/ a blitz, do it.

 

This myth that you only blitz when you have to has always been dumb. Force some mistakes instead of falling back and waiting on them imo.
