if we rush only 4 againsed the pats he will. brady is a good passer, im sorry a great passer and his recievers are much better than the eagles recievers who were garbage btw. brady is a great pocket passer and being that we cant force anyone out of the pocket unless we are blitzing, were gonna have problems. no doubt in my mind they will put up points on us, im just hoping gibbs works the clock well and our offense comes together and shows more life by then.

We are getting better pressure than last year. Not great and not as good as 2005 but a lot of our pressure that year was CG just blowing up the middle of the line. He really had an awesome year that season. I think we are adequate right now but we won't be blowing anyone away with our front four pressure.

I think we should not question how good a fan you are based off of an opinion that our Dline aint great.
That is certainly common knowledge and though the Dline had ok games the last 2 weeks hardly means they will be anything other than average this year.

We should be free to express our concerns during "win" weeks too.

The reality is Philly could have ran for a lot more yards if only they gave Westbrook the rock. I am taking a wait and see approach with the D.
I sure hope the offense starts clicking because winning by the skin of your teeth every week aint likely to last long. Sooner or later, luck changes.
If Campbell connected with Moss on that bomb, we wouldn't be so focussed on our defensive weak link.

I have news for you. NE is a better football team than we are.

this is the way I see it. We basically sent 4 guys all night, other than the few times we blitzed. Any NFL offensive line should be able to handle 4 D-lineman the majority of the time. Carter got somewhat close a few times. 4 down lineman are not going to get consistant pressure on a QB. Especially offenses that run a 2 or 3 step drop offense. Granted McNabb may have had some time to make the throws, but our corners and safeties did their job by not letting anyone get open. Our D line is doing the job their are suppose to do. Stop the run. they are doing a tremendous job so far of clogging running lanes. I dont see our Dline struggling as it did last year.

I personally would like to see more 5 or 6 man blitzes, sometimes 7, but as long as we are stopping people and winning games, I have no complaints.
