I hope you're just saying this in the heat of the moment. Our secondary would be atrocious without him next year
Not if you signed an upgrade FA.

Agreed. How many high floaters did Flacco just toss up out there for ridiculous completions that 49er DB's had no idea were even coming? You would have thought that at least one could have been intercepted.

First, EVERYTHING is easier said than done.Start w/DLine.
IMO, our D performance drastically changed when Justin went out in Pats game and every game after it. Next season, he'll be a year older and coming off an injury/operation. Our DLine were gassed after a number of games this year because we DON'T have a quality rotation. Tukafu[sp and Dobbs are unimpressive.
Solution: Draft 2 DE that can contribute from Day 1, or one FA & 1 Draft pick. Then we'll have people to rotate.
Solution: We need a REAL NT
Sloution: A real Cover Corner
I like Cully and he has really improved BUT - he needs a Mike Singletary moment to refocus. Do you think he could play Safety? Whittner looked slow.
I didn't want Carlos, I wanted the guy [I forget his name] who went to Cowboys from KC.
I CAN'T see us getting Revis because $$$$$$$$$$$$$ and our cap space.
Originally posted by grizzlyadams:I think it begins and ends with the D-Line. J. Smith got hurt and our defense wasn't the same. A. Smith got NO sacks after J. Smith got hurt. With out J. Smith at top form our defense took a big hit. Sopo may be getting a little old and not the player he once was was either. I feel that that we didn't address the D-Line at all last year and were are thin that at that position. Considering the abuse that the down linemen take in a 3-4, I would hope that we pick up at least two or three quaility D-linemen to rotate during the game next year. What would have happened to our season if J. Smith had gotten hurt in Sept. and lost for the season?
The defense clearly wasnt the same down the stretch this season. We've struggled to stop the pass the last 4-5 games. So what's the problem? What do we need to add this offseason?
Pass rush?
Corners?
Defensive line?
I also think its strange that the defense carried the team when the offense was struggling (last year & part of this year). Now that the offense has caught up, the defense has regressed. If we could put it all together, we'd be the champs tonight.
