defense

[NYCSkin]

Griffin being out today hurt bad. Henry ran between the tackles and had too many 8 yard runs on 1st down. Holdman got used and Marshall rarely met Henry at the hole. Amazing how far this defense has fallen off in three years. From top 5 to top 10 to ???(bottom 10?5?)

Yep. Not many have mentioned that. Griffin and Salave'a were out today. If anyone still thinks they hit gold with Montgomery and Golston, they need their heads examined.

But SouperMeister said it best -- this is what you get when the front office ignores the defensive line year after year. Throwing together other teams' rejects, has-beens, and a few high priced free agents every two or three years gets you what you saw today.

They seem totally content with signing the Brandon Nobles, the Renaldo Wynns, the Philip Daniels -- eventually, the one guy they were right about, Cornelius Griffin, was going to need help.

Can't stop the run, can't pressure the quarterback, and the secondary can't cover anyone. This was bound to happen.
