New to the board and I wanted to start off with a good post. Me and some of my buddies have brought this up about harrisons injury and what the new defense means.
Everybody has been talking about a youth movement on both sides of the ball. The defense is sure older than the O but with the injuries to the D we did get a bit younger. The line next week will showcase Hood more and even some of heyward because kiesel might not be full go. Mcfadden could be back but gay has not been horrible and lewis has held is own on the outside. I think mcfadden might have a tough time getting back into action due to his lack of playing time from injury.
The linebacker core is what im more concerned about. With harrison out, we lose a viable pass rusher. Next week timmons is playing rolb and this could be good or bad. It can be bad because he has been playin ilb for the majority of his career and is not established at olb. I think lebeau can whip something good up though for him. He has the ability to rush or play coverage now. He can still run down the middle to clog the lanes. Now enter Foote who has not played bad but still is not the old foote. I think sylvester should get a shot with foote rather than farrior. I like farrior but man he is just not playing well. If you start foote, sylvester,timmons, and woodley the defense now is much younger and more athletic.
