Jim Zorn has already stated that we need a big pass rush this season, which is probably the main reason we paid Haynesworth all that money. I'm tired of stopping the run first then pass rush. We need to stop the run on the way to the quarterback. I believe that Blache is holding the d-line back from making a lot of plays. It was like our defense was a bend but don't break defense which helped us to 4th overall defense which I believe is good but not a dominating one. I believe that this defense could be up there with the Pittsburghs, Baltimores and Titans. You win with Championship Defense. If the offense improves and we still do not get to the quarterback then we will be looking at 8-8 again folks. What do you guys think about Blache's scheme? Should he be fired if no improvements in the sack department?

I would love to have a sack-happy defense, too. But I disagree that if the offense improves but we don't get more sacks that we will end up 8-8. And Haynesworth and Orakpo may help to solve the sack problem without any change of scheme.

In terms of defense there are only three teams above us. To me, the #4 defense is already a championship defense. I can't imagine why we would want to fire the leader of such a defense.

I could be wrong, but I don't think there are that many balanced teams out there (offense/defense). As much as I hate them, I would say the Pats are one of them, I can't think of another one. Right now we have to make sure that our offense can compliment our strong defense. As much as I would want a Colts-styled offense, with the defense that we have, I would be happy with an offense that can put up a few more points, kill the clock at the end, and does not make many costly mistakes.
