Reply To: Time to ramp it up for a new year – Part II

[Lt. Tyler]

Losing Ty Warren for the year before the season started is what really got us in trouble on the D line.

Then having Mike Wright and Myron Pryor out, along with Ron Brace being not a very good 2nd round pick in 2009 (he and Darius Butler can piss off – at least Pat Chung and Sebastian Vollmer are redeeming that class), leaves us with an old Gerrard Warren and an overachieving but still 7th rnd pick rookie Brandon Deadrick to help out My Favorite Fatty on the DL.

I certainly don’t buy the Pats as being quite as dominant as they appeared from the 2nd half of the Lions game to then end of the Bear game. If the offense can’t carry the team, the defense will get exposed quick.

Still, given the expectations from the start of the year, it’s been a fun one.
