Working out the Kinks

The biggest problem on the whole team is the Secondary, that's like the only spot i feel we have a problem on. Let's start at Corner the Jason Allen switch has every DolFan scratching their head, Sean Smith is a young Player and for the love of god it's PRE-SEASON give him a break,but if you couldn't beat out Jason Allen Houston we have a problem.  The only solid player we have on our secondary is Yermiah Bell. I don't want to be hypothetical but imaging this Will Allen 1st corner Vontae Davis 2nd corner Yermiah Bell Strong Safety and this is where the what if comes in play Free Safety Antrelle Rolle, Ryan Clark, and or O.j. Atogwe any of the three that would be a sold Secondary

Well... Will Allen is injured, so nix him

Rolle wanted a whole lot of money that he probably didn’t deserve, to be honest (not saying I didn’t want him though) and Clark was using Miami as leverage. If we are going to play impossibles then I want Revis, Asomougha, Bailey, Byrd and Bell up there.

your making hypotheticals.

Allen would not be back until Week 4 most likely. And supposedly Jason Allen is improving, and making strides. I do feel shaky when it comes to our secondary, especially because Vontae is banged up now too, but if it all comes together during the season, we will all suddenly forget the pre-season woes.

Scheme will help a lot!

Remember we have had nothing but vanilla defense as Nolan learns what our players can do. Now that we are into the regular season I expect to see a defense that plays to our strengths and hides our weakness.

First off, the FO has always been fairly high on J. Allen. I do agree that Smith is a better player, but if he’s in a slump right now and Allen is doing better in camp, put him in.

Secondly, it’s only Monday. We have a while till the game on Sunday. This could very easily be a diversion tactic to throw the Bills off or just a way to get Smith to work harder to get back to what he was last year and even better.

For me, like i said in my post from a couple days ago, while there are reasons to be concerned about our secondary, my concern lies directly on the offensive line.

Yes defense is a very important part in football. Hell I’ve played on that side of the ball my entire life and have coached it. BUT, if the offense is solid and can keep scoring drives going, it takes some pressure off the defense. Which means that a secondary with concerns, though still vital to be fixed, has some leverage and would allow Nolan to create different packages to let them play to their ability and still have room to grow as a player.

With a o-line that has been changing players with cuts, signings and trades and also making substitutions while actually in the game, it’s difficult to have an offense that can score drive after drive.

WORST!!

Signing Rolle, Clark or Atogwe would have closed the door for us to sign Brandon Marshall. Do u realize after landing Brandon Marshall to make room on the cap for other players, it was required to trade Ted Ginn bcuz of his big contract. Also, u have to take this major thing into account wit any team if your goin make it thru da season, or win a Super Bowl… DEPTH (ummmm, ala Saints, need i say more, look at da game against the Patriots, CB’s Mckenzie and McAlister filled in nicely). Look at Crowder- bangd up, will allen and nate garner out for the season, u never kno wat free agent gem u can find.
OH YEAH I HOPE BENNY SAPP PLAYS OUT CUZ I REALLY THOUGHT NATE NESS, WHO IS PLAYN FOR THE SEAHAWKS NOW SHULD HAVE MADE THE TEAM

I get what your saying but the EBONICS is killing me like Pat White

Dude I suck at spelling but please just try. Not everybody on here are13 year olds. Although some of us have them so thats why we understand you. Just a little thought to put out there.

Sean Smith needs to be humbled

AND Sean Smith needs to be bench to recollect himself cuz getn bomb by Dallas second teamers really is wat made him lose his job. Note, wen Jason Allen played in the Atlanta game, that was a first teamer the #1 receiver Roddy White who scored on Jason Allen not a second or third teamer. And wen Brandon Marshall was playn for the Denver Broncos, 2yrs ago i believe wen we shut them out, Jason Allen lock our own Brandon Marshall down, fans do ur research and give Jason Allen his props, dont talk down on him cuz we need to experiment with him, after all, he was a 1st rounder and his contract has big money also. If we kept him over Ginn, he must be good, lets see and dont judge him by the first game ppl.
