If the defense is going to make it then it will have to make tough decisions. It may be time for Clements to go as well as Lewis. I don't care if it is a rookie but someone needs to be in there to make plays. If they get burnt then so be it as long as they are learning and growing. I don't want a stagnant, overpaid, overhyped player taking up space from the hungry developing player. So if need be put RJF in at left DE, get Tukuafu up to take Evan's place. Get Adams in for Clements, and Mays/Smith in for strong safety. If we are going to go down then lets develop some players as we are going down.

I starting to feel like our defense is over-rated. I mean how do we give up 20 yards on a draw on 3rd and 20? We got D-Line got pushed back all game and could not stop simple screen passes. We are not a "great" defense in any means. Here are rankings after week 3.
32nd in pts/game (29.0)
17th in yards/game (328.7)

The D has been a huge disappointment this season. We are tied for last in points allowed 87 (with Bills) allowing 62 points against us in 2 road losses both to average teams I believe.
Run Defense was suppost to be the strength of the D yet we give up over 200 yards on the ground to KC, and allow huge gain after huge gain on screen plays.
The secondary should have been addressed in the offseason now we are paying for it.
I think Singletary's words are beginning to fall on deft ears, his emotional outbursts and motivational tactics are his only tools, game planning and Defensive play schemes are non existant and it shows every away game.
Singletary's free ride is offically over, unless there is a dramtic change over the next couple weeks (unlikely) Singletary should be fired during the bye week. It's time to fix this train wreck Singletary or get ready for your pink slip.
