Actually I think with Griffin and Salavea out, there went the run defense. The pass defense was already shaky. Add in to the mix Marshall being hurt. If you can't stop the run you are a pansy in the NFL. With those DLinemen back for Dallas and hopefully Troy Vincent taking the place of Mike Rumpf and number 25 (I won't even say his name) our defense should look stronger.

Longterm problems, the flaw in Gibbs philospshy is this keepin players for special teams thing. For one that's why there is no depth. We got Jimoh who can't play corner but plays good special teams. Corners get hurt and we hitting the waiver wire getting 49er rejects. Why is Thrash on the field when we got too may good wide receivers as it is. We got Randel El, Thrash should go and in his place depth can be aquired in needed positions. Who cares if they play special teams build the first and second team strong and let the second team play special teams. Good coaching can keep your specail teams from sucking. Using roster spots for players that dont add to depth but play good special teams is a major flaw in Gibbs philosphy.When we have injuries no one is able to come off the bench and shine. There is no competition for starting posistions.
