Playing good WR's

I suspect that our defense is going to be vastly different this year. It sounds like Grills has trashed a bunch of stuff and implemented some new stuff. I am curious to see how closely our scheme looks to the Chicago scheme since that is reportedly where Grills is getting his inspiration.

Keep our offense on the field and the other team can't score with the WRs on the sideline. Ball control and Long drives. Skins football

we play them with our two best corners springs and smoot playing man and landry and taylor with help over the top

Smoot is not one of the two best corners on the team. He may have better hands than Rogers, but he gives about the same cushion, and he's a half assed tackler.

I was looking at our schedule, and we are playing quite a few teams who will have a nasty pass offense (ie Patriots, Eagles, Giants, Cardinals, Jets, Lions), and I began to think to myself, how will we play these teams. To me it seems as if Gregg Williams defense relies on quality coverage so that there can be alot of blitzing. But when the other team will use many multiple wide reciever sets with multiple guys who are hard to gaurd, relying on quality coverage to blitz might be tricky. Do you think that we will double up on the high quality recievers such as moss, burress, owens, fitzgerald, boldin, williams, johnson, and coles, and therefore not be able to blitz as much, or do you think that we will rely on single good coverage and expect that to work, and still blitz a whole lot. Personally, I think that Williams will try to rely on good coverage, and will not double team many players, and will still try to blitz alot. This will lead to someone getting burned more than he should be and everyone hating on him even though he has been asked to do something unreasonable by being asked to single cover a great WR almost all the time.

What re you talking about?? We have four corners on rooster that is starter, Springs, Rogers, Smoot, Macklin.. As for safety, Prio, ST, Landry, Fox, and Omar.. I think we won't have much of problem of getting burned this year like last year..

but has better cover skills it seems and plays faster

I disagree on both counts. At best, Smoot's cover skills might be equal with Rogers. Either way, Rogers plays the run far better, and barring an injury, there's no way Smoot starts over Rogers.

Exactly... and bench Rogers.

Why would that be the case? Springs isn't getting any younger and we're going to have to replace him sooner rather than later.

I'm telling you guys Rogers blows... stinks.. is a waste of money... and we should all thank God we have Springs and Smoot, and pray they stay healthy.
