I just hope our DB's show up this year, (Meaning I'm expecting a drop off in play) and if they don't that our depth can step up and fill in. Talking about you Carlos, and goldson.

as for the colts job, i don't take anything out of that job.. when peyton got there the colts ignored the defense and drafted players for the offense.
Ask and ye shall receive . . .the cupboards were pretty bare.

It looks like in 95-96 he squeezed some life out some aging vets and put out some decent defenses in Carolina, then after that it looks pretty ugly talent-wise for his other tenures. There's no reason this defense shouldn't be better with a full off season.

People seem to forget:
GREEN BAY had as MANY takeaways as us during the regular season!
No one would equate them to having a D like our D, but it's interesting to put that in perspective when people just look at 49er defense as a turnover machine.
GB got all those turnovers because they put teams in bad situations. We got those turnovers through brute force D, and some luck I suppose.
Rarely did we have huge leads. And when we did get TOs, how often did we convert for TDs, let alone FGs?
So true gb had some huge leads whereas sf did not. We got the turnovers by talent and smarts where gb had a lot of obvious passing situations when they had a big lead.
We have a great d with the most talent fangio has ever had.

Also gb was what??? Historically the worst pass defense in the history of the nfl is passing yards allowed? Yes they did have a lead and played prevent but guess what? The niners had some leads and good defenses don't give up that many yards or plays no matter how far ahead of them they are.
We have a great d with a chance of having one of the best tandems of ilbs ever if we resign bowman to an extension. Problem is we will have so much money invested in our lbs it's like Pitt. Hopefully the salary cap goes up or else we will lose bowman to a sorry team that will pay him 8 mil a year

The defence has been in the top for a number of years now. I have no concerns at all.

i think we shouldn't push the panic button specially when all of our starters on D return for 2012
