If we keep the same structure, we MUST go after DBs

If we don't change the structure we still need to go after DB's. More consistent coverage will take us far.

Our play on defense this season has without a doubt revealed our weaknesses. It's plain to see we need help at CB and safety, but it all starts up front. We need "beast to feast".

Greg Williams system is based upon pressure, usually coming from angles that are blitzing. we need good, solid secondary play to support his defense.

Can we sign Clements and my man Justin Smith?

GW's Defense was more effective when he had a dominating pass rush(Titans:J Kearse, K Carter etc). Blitzing is more effective when it is used to enhance a great pass rush, not to make up for the lack there of. Again, with no pressure, QB's have all day to throw! I don't care who's back there, they only can cover for so long! Remember, the WRs know where they are going! A pass rush can disrupt the timing.

We need more team speed.
McIntosh starting should help next year(yes I am assuming he will start) with our Linebacker speed. We should also look at replacing marshall with a Young Late round pick with great speed.

Carter has played decent last couple of weeks.
We need someone to matchup with him and Griffin on the line. The hard part is, drafting a DE that is worthy of a top 5 pick, Very few are.
Kearse and Peppers are the only two worth top 5 picks.
We need reserve undersized DE that can run like linebackers. Maybe Getting Chris Clemons back from injury or get another super fast guy like him to get pressure.

Our defence is based on forcing bad throws. If we dont get pressure, teams will have all day to pick apart our cover 2.

Williams' system all starts with the DBs, I think Clements will be one of the first pickups of the offseason.

Getting Prioleau back should give us a solid option at safety.

That's a start but we need a lot more help. We basically need to revamp the secondary.

Wow, I think you think a little too highly of him.

It definitely will not hurt us getting Prioleau back, but he won't be an instant fix.

williams system starts with pass rush. otherwise we sit back and play zone and get picked apart. once again, if the pass rush is there, we have corners that can play. im not saying we dont need corners, but games are always won in the trenches... period. nobody's defense starts backwards no matter the scheme

The past two years he's done just fine with average DEs. His system clearly starts with the DBs and works it's way forward. With the breakdowns and injuries this year he's been forced to play more zones, lay off the pressure, and as a result we've seen more big plays than ever.

His system works when you have guys that can man up in the secondary and he can bring heat from anywhere on the field.
