Whitner is my guess

[quote=Chico23231;1150800]Too me this is a strike against Barry too...because that's why he is here. He was fucking terrible too.[/quote]

Barry probably recommended him, however Scott signed him. And Scott drafted no help on the D line.

Where are all the "experts" who said they do not need a NT because the NFL is a passing league.

I definitely think it's a DL solution. Golston was always the goalline monster and he's out. Without him, you saw how Alfred Morris and Crowell both just absolutely waltzed into the end zone on those goalline plays.

They still like Everett, he makes for the fourth safety. I think they've discovered that Ionnidis is not ready, and they know that Ziggy Hood would be much better as a DE.

Reading the tea leaves I'm pretty sure this means Knighton is coming.

Well there you go, I could be quite wrong. We'll see.

Still think they need a DL solution. Having a rotation of only 6, with Ionnidis and Lanier being 2 of the 6, that's just inadequate.

We definitely need a big body up front.

Maybe they'll IR Brutton (concussion and he sucks) and also get DL help.

Re: The Defense Only Thread
 

reportedly Whitner signed

Re: The Defense Only Thread
 

Whitner is a good tackler, so I understand if McCloughan goes in that direction.

Who called that signing a few weeks ago? Ha!

Link? Google is not showing me any such thing.

No link necessary. I trust you, random guy on the internet.

[quote=Bucket;1150784]I can't put it all on Barry when I see players missing tackles. We gave up 107 yards on Sunday after first contact. 107 yards!

I just other think we have the talent on defense and no coach is going to fix that this year.[/quote]

I thought Sunday was actually the first game this year where he steadily sent ptessure. I won't shit on Barry if he tries, but to just sit back and play basic defense and get paper cut to death is annoying.

Re: The Defense Only Thread
 

Witner may be able to tackle, he will at least hit someone. In the end this is just another band aid. Signing guys off the street mid season isn't going to solve our issues on defense.
