Falcon918 Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 I believe we will be between 10 and 15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norwood all the way! Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 10-20. i doubt it will be top 10 material. defenses just dont turn it around like that in one year. sometimes, but most of the time no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misznay-Schardin Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Top 10. Basing this on how we played at the end of the year and the quality of competition we will be facing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOCTHEFALCONFAN™ Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 (edited) Top ten in run! - To be completely honest I have no idea in passing! Overall 1-15! Edited May 16, 2010 by CHOCTHEFALCONFAN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR Falcon Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 I believe we're 2-3 players away from the finished product we're trying to build on the Smith/BVG Def.,and a couple of yrs playing together after their all together to becoming a top 5 Def. But we're on our way up that's for certain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I.C. REDD Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 I say our defense will rank around 11-12 this season. My best "swag" is we improve to 17th against the pass and finish at 4th against the run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveTheBirdGuy Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Depending on how our secondary shapes up and the hopeful improvement of our front seven, we could definately be top 10.........I hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlacksburgHokie Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Could be anywhere from 5-25 depending on how injuries shake out. I think we could definately have a top-10 defense if everyone is productive and healthy, but some key injuries could send us back into the 20's...

I hope the Injury Bug doesn't show up anywhere in Georgia this season. If that does happen I think we have enough quality depth and experience to bouy our defense into the teens.

cnasty Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 If we can get all of our pieces fitting together, then there's no doubt we can be top 10. Having said that, I dont think we will be all there. Injuries happen, mistakes happen, I'm guess 11-13. We will be stout in the run like always, but our pass D is still unproven. Id LOVE to see us improve greatly in our pass D, because this is slowly and steadily becoming a pass first league in my opinion. So we need to step our game up.

Dale4Saul2Red0 Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 (edited) Top 15 and I'll be happy and it should put us in good position for a playoff run if so. Edited May 16, 2010 by Dale4Saul2Red0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NZFalcon Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Aslong as it improves and continues to do so then im happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rai Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 8th against the run, 16th against the pass imo. That should leave us in the low teens overall, maybe even break into the top-10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were also #1 in yards per carry allowed. This includes shutting down the #1 rushing team in the NFL in their own house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were also #1 in yards per carry allowed. This includes shutting down the #1 rushing team in the NFL in their own house. Yes, infact I was the one who mentioned that in the forum. Over the last 7 games, we were #1 in YPC allowed. iirc, we only let an average of 3.1 during that period. Reason I don't think we're a top-5 rush D team is because we'll be playing a lot of run-first teams which is going to obscure that stat. We're going to face the Steelers who would probably be running the ball without Roethlisger. Same with Cardinals. Rams too. 49ers, maybe. But we also play against, imo, the best RB duo in the NFL with the Panthers. Saints have a very good run blocking OLine group and Thomas gives me fits. The only pass-happy team we'll be facing is the Packers and Saints. Maybe we'll do a little better against the pass but I don't want to get too optimistic. I'd be happy with a top-16 D this year.

Palmer is entering his 8th season and averages 30 pass attempts per game. Plus he has a new toy in Gresham. Look for them to take a step back this year against a brutal schedule but not due to a lack of passing.Kolb/Vick/??? will try to prove they can be the man in Philly, I think whoever starts will throw the ball as well with Andy Reid calling the shots.Flacco will be forced to pass because Ray Rice will be a not produce against our D. Matt Ryan will prove indubitably who is the best QB of the 2007 Draft. Edited May 16, 2010 by I.C. REDD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
