We don't have an impact pass rusher. When the QB has all day it makes the secondary look worse than it is. Not to mention the scheme absolutely did not match the secondary's strengths.

People keep saying this. We didn't have an impact pass rusher out of the 4-3. We aren't running the 4-3 anymore and now our 2 very good pass rushers that mostly stayed on the sideline will be on the field full time. Maybe I just have more faith in Tez and Junior than everyone else lol. I believe these guys will both be great in the new defense.

PRob was a Gregg Williams pick specifically cuz of the amount of man coverage he had at Fla St. I think he was negatively impacted by going to Spags zone concept more than any other player. I'm not even calling him good in man. I'm just saying he is much better than what we saw last year. In man it is just flat out using your physical athletic skills to stick with a guy. Much less thinking and reading offenses.
Greer I count as a solid NFL corner. The term shutdown corner is going the way of RBs with 300+ carries a year. All in all I don't count CB as a high priority.
Regardless of what the number of sacks were, you all prolly gritted your teeth and cussed as much as I did seeing opposing QBs have way too long to sit in the pocket and survey the field. With some real legitimate pass rush all of the DBs will likely go up in ratings a full grade or more.
Jordan makes sense in that way. Whether Jones, Moore, Mingo, or him- THAT sort of outside speed rusher is a key in the 3-4. We've seen guys like Bruce Irvin, Ryan Kerrigan, Orakpo, Cushing, Clay Matthews, etc all come in and provide that immediately. I have a lot of hope for Juneyah or Tez if they go outside but it is more hope than expectation.
