This is what i think our defense is gonna be and yes its Cable's/Marshall's defense so this is who i want on the team and who i think will make the team on the defensive side of the ball. I like the Blitzes they are working good so far and i believe this is gonna make us succesfull this season! Also Tommy Kelly has looked good thus far he may make it to the Pro Bowl this season dont be surprised if he does!

In the Trenches

Tommy Kelly is the leader of the line and it will show this year!! Trust me on this one!

Ok here are the starters Jay Richardson,Tommy Kelly, Gerard Warren and Greg Ellis, I think Jay will beat Scott until Scott shows up in the Strength compartment on a more consistent basis. the backups Trevor Scott, Matt Shaughnessy, William Joseph, Desmond Bryant and Greyson Gunheim

the LineBackers

it will be Ricky Brown SLB, Kirk Morrison MLB and Thomas Howard WLB although i think Ricky Brown is outplaying Morrison for the Mike spot. The Backups are going to be Slade Norris, Isaiah Ekejiuba and Jon Alston. Sam Williams has got to go he has underperformed since he joined with us!!!

the Corners

the Starters are no doubt Nnamdi Asomugha and Chris Johnson then Stanford Routt will be the Nickelback and Justin Miller will make it as our KR and our 5th Corner spot is up for grabs i havent been impressed with any of the other guys yet.

the Safeties

These are our safeties this year Michael Huff, Tyvon Branch, Mike Mitchell and Hiram Eugene. Hiram is showing up good on the FS spot!!! I am starting to pull for him but i still want Michael Huff to beat him but we should be good this season at safety hopefully Mike Mitchell recovers good and makes an impact this season!!!!
