    Being objective isnt being a stick in the mud though.


    Being objective means being rooted into the reality within perspective.

    Wilson is very talented and hasn’t been as bad as some make him out to be, he’s struggled in run defense but as others have pointed out, this is the year youd see a jump.

    As for Queen, he looked much better after that defensive meeting they had to clear the air as he called it, the whole defense looked better.

    The defense in years past put a lot onto the ILB plate. The way the Steelers used him and the Ravens used him were different, we’ll have to see what Graham has up his sleeve to put these guys in better position to succeed.

    If what we are hearing is true it will be even more complicated for the defense. Guys moving around all over. Gotta know not just your position but everyone else's.

    Sort of but not really

    More complicated yes knowing everyone else……..

    DBs always need to know what each other are doing

    DL always need to know what each other are doing

    DL and DB knowing each other not si much a little on blitz

    Well....


    Mike MacDonald has proven himself to be the best overall Defensive Playcaller in all of Football. That definitely helps for certain. It also helps that he is both innovative and creative.


    Let us see what Patrick Graham can do. I for one am intriguied.
