But their offense might hurt their defense by not holding onto the ball and sustaining drives. You didn't watch our offense last year. Definitely rewatch the KC game the Raiders actually won. That top tier defense last season was legit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought we were looking at poor defenses last year that could be good this year. If that is the case, I choose the Eagles. Last year they were 27th in yards, 30th in 1st downs, and 30th in points allowed. BUT theyre insanely talented. Added Devin White, Bryce Huff. Draft Cooper Dejean, another year of Jalen Carter, Jordan Davis, Nolan Smith. I see potential in a weak division. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aceinthehouse Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 I'm expecting Washington to have a much improved Defense going forward. Dan Quinn will have an attacking turnover causing Defense. They've upgraded all levels of the Defense through Free Agency & the Draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know yet...I'll have a better view of how good I think they'll be, when I see them all together on the field. I'll know if there is a new energy with the team, under new ownership, new GM, new coaches & new players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were probably the worst Defense in the NFL down the stretch last season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because you can have the best defense in the world, but if it's on the field for 40 minutes, you can't really win games and your defense will look worse than it is 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AP_allday2869 Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 (edited) Brian Flores made chicken salad out of you know what last year, and I see no reason why Minnesota can't finish in the top ten next year. Even with the loss of Danielle Hunter, we were able to upgrade our pass rush with the additions of Greenard and Van Ginkle, as well as the addition of incoming rookie Dallas Turner who will be a demon in Flores' scheme. We were also able to upgrade our linebackers by signing Blake Cashman, and we have Ivan Pace ready to take another step. We have numbers at CB, but no real star. Byron Murphy was pretty good for us last year, and I'm guessing he will be again this year. Mekhi Blackmon had a really promising rookie season and I think he will take another step and become a reliable starter for us. Josh Metellus just had an incredible season as the Swiss Army knife, Harrison Smith is still solid, and Cam Bynum is above average. Our DTs are not good, but I think our pass rush from the outside will do a nice job masking any coverage and inside rush liabilities that we may have.

You lost good players too this off season. Dunno. But till I see it I won’t believe it. Don’t think you have great pass rushers either besides dude from Michigan. He’s gonna get held a lot more without calls this season too. The dreaded star treatment come for everyone. What good players did we lose this offseason? CJ Gardner-Johnson with his 3 games he played? Cam Sutton? I think Carlton Davis, Amik Robertson, Terrion Arnold and Ennis Rakestraw can fill in for those combined 82 tkls 9 PDs and 2 INTs. I know, you’re talking about DT Benito Jones! I’m sure DJ Reader cannot fill that massive talent hole. I agree with you that we don’t have great established pass rushers outside of Hutchinson. However, we are getting James Houston back who was out all of last season, signed CFL star Matthieu Betts, and will hopefully utilize more off the off ball blitzing we saw late in the season from guys like Iffy and Branch. But I totally reject the idea that we seemed to have great losses on the roster in offseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realistically you’re expecting the best results. Which it’s the NFL. NFL defenses caught up the offenses last year, and the lions were dreadful. This year the pendulum will swing to the offense because of the rule changes. I really doubt your secondary got better! The learning curve will be painful. Playing in the North where every team is loaded with star WR power. I doubt you drafted Revis, Reed and others. That secondary will pay with blood. And if they play great and are above avg then great. Kudos for the player development and drafting! But I reallllllly doubt it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our key veteran leadership was away from the team for most the season and got an unsportsmanlike penalty in the biggest game. And we replaced him with another vet who has won a Super Bowl. You keep mentioning the rookies but are ignoring the vets that were brought in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
