= #1 Defense

too young

It will definately be fun to watch... The only question is, who is going to take chads role and lay people out all year... I'm leaning towards Loston but who knows really

With Chavis, clearly the LB play improved greatly. I think the DL was just destined to be down - Alem was never an every down DE in my mind, and he continued to overplay the pass rush at the expense of run defense (but the LB play helped cover that in 2009).

If we can just hold serve on the secondary (and hopefully produce a second outstanding CB), and nudge the DL back in the right direction, I think we can have a very special defense in 2010.

It'll be similar to our 2005 defense. Very very good. Might save Les' job if the offense can get decent.

I hope the scheme improves. We cant afford to give up large chunks of yardage each and every game and let the opponent convert 3rd down after 3rd down.

I didnt see Brockers in your list. He's a beast

Great first 1/2 of 09, not as good second 1/2. Needs to mature and not jump routes as much. Should be top 5 pick in NFL draft 2010.

if our scheme were more aggressive, I'd like that lineup. but as it is now, we'd get handled up front.
