    Anyone who said the defense does not need major upgrades needs to review the game film from MNF. The run defense is HORRIBLE. I hope everyone now understands why this defense MUST be upgraded before we can compete. The complete reason we lost this game is because the Steelers were able to run the ball at will. They ran the ball down our throat, and ran the clock out.

    Don't get me wrong. I know the offense needs upgrades. However, I believe Mett, the OL, & WRs played much better than I thought they would. Especially without Delanie Walker active. Mett showed real progress tonight IMO. I really hope it carries over into the rest of the season!

    We desperately need a real NT. Sammie Hill sucks. We need a guy that can command a double team and eat up a couple of blockers. Maybe then Casey can get threw that line, or our LBers can get to the runner. Seeing the Steelers gash us on the ground after giving up huge games to Dallas and others makes me really realize how bad our NT really is.

    We also need a real quality pass rusher. We are getting to the QB with Horton's exotic blitzes, but having to send people from the 2ndary to get a rush is hurting us. If we have a quality pass rusher who can do it on his own it will really improve this defense. If we get that kind of rusher we will see improved 2ndary play IMO.

    Pass Rusher needs to be #1 pick this year and I think we can all agree on that. Hopefully when Brown comes back next season he and Williamson will become a dynamic duo, who knows where Brown stands though.

    I thought the defensive line held there own Monday. My problem was Bell was extremely patient and let a hole develope and had an incredible burst to hit the hole. Our linebackers did a poor job getting off blocks and meeting Bell at the Los often hitting him atfter a 3-4 gain plus the extra he picked up dragging them and extra couple yards.

    24-13 lead blown on MNF this defense is a joke although I must say they did hold their own for a little bit but they need to do a better job and I am ok drafting a NT in the first. Wish the offense would give them a breather tho.

    people were bragging about our D before? Casey, Williamson, and McCourty are the only guys I wouldn't have a problem with starting next year. The rest would be meh.
