How bad is our defense?

Today he was burned for some big runs (sweeps) around his end. He is getting manhandled in the running game. He is currently not a full time starter. I always said since we got Carter we should platoon him, Renaldo Wynn on run downs and Carter on pass plays. Wynn is a great run stopping DE and coach Williams is not paying him enough. .

2) We over paid for Archuleta. Plain and simple.

3) Because we have so much cap space tied up on players that are not producing (Carter, Arch, Randle El and Lloyd) we had no cap space left to sign an elite CB and a coverage SS which what we most needed.

hey hey, ho ho, vinny c has got to go. the lack of talent is on the FO. GW can share the blame if he helped pick his players. paying big for non-producers like arch and carter and lloyd has kinda sorta backfired horribly. maybe next time we should take guys from teams that aren't 30th in defense instead of paying the guys they don't even want to keep.

without springs or some weird blockbuster midseason deal, i don't see the defenses getting much better. and if it can't improve, there's no playoffs. better hope springs isn't done for the year :/.
