Good Breeland is definitely a valuable starter in the NFL. Those are expensive. Don't see us being able to keep him with Cousins, Brown, etc. needing contracts and the drafting of Fabian.

Re: The D thread
 

Props to the D today. Kept the Giants to 77 yards passing and less than 100 rushing yards. And considering the injuries, that’s not a small feat.

Saw something this morning that said Kerrigan has at least 7.5 sacks in each of his 7 seasons joining only Jared Allen, Reggie White, DeMarcus Ware and Derrick Thomas as the only players to do so. And he tied Dexter Manley with the most 7.5 sack seasons in team history.

Very true. He had a good game yesterday and gets held constantly.

D had a nice bounce back from last week. It's helps that we had the perfect bounce back opponent. Eli looked like he didn't want to be there.

Re: The D thread
 

I felt this last game was Norman's first game after the injury where he played physical football. He has probably had to back off how he normally plays.

Re: (All about that) D thread
 

After the first 11 weeks, the defense should have smooth sailing over the rest of the year.

Here's a list of teams they've played and where they rank in points:
1. Philly (twice)
2. Rams
3. New Orleans
7. Kansas City
8. Minnesota
10. Seattle
15. Dallas
20. Oakland
27. 49ers
31. Giants

Teams we will play in rank of points:
14. Chargers
15. Dallas
24. Denver
26. Arizona
31. Giants

Montae Nicholson and Matt Ioannidis being healthy will be important for this defense.

Personally I believe that Kerrigan is one of the Best players on the team!

[quote=skinsfaninok;1180650][B]Nicholson looked promising early [/B]but he is too often injured as well, our CBs have been the bright spot, and DJ of course.

Breeland has been much better[/quote]

He still is, I feel he never fully recovered from his concussion and came back too early

Re: (All about that) D thread
 

I hope the defensive staff gets an overhaul.

Re: (All about that) D thread
 

If we can win out and be in playoff contention by game 15, I say activate him!!

Todd Bowles!!!!!! The dude is awesome. He is truly a defensive genius and gets more from less.

really? I think they have been exceptional this year. Especially the Gray and Tomsula. I like what Ive seen with the growth of younger players like Fuller, Nicholson, Innoaidis, Allen and I think Breeland has had maybe strongest season. We still need to build in the middle....NT/DT and ILB, but overall Im happy.

We've definitely improved this year on d, but I'm not satisfied with how easy it is for teams to score on us with less than 5 min in the half. If Manusky can fix that I don't have a problem with him for next year.
