Re: Next year

LB - Carter and Evans are gone. Harris is a big time player and will get better. Jamar Thompson got some quality playing time at the end of the year and shows a lot of promise. I would expect to see them look for a JC player to help out here especially at Carters' WLB.
us.

Justin Kirk was playing a lot on Saturday in stop-the-run short yardage situations. Supposedly he was one of the most improved players from 06 to 07, so hopefully he will continue to get better and have an impact in 2008.

I noticed him out there a lot more Saturday than I had most of the season.

Re: Next year

My personal opinion FWIW is that we need to find a way to play more man coverage. Too many teams have shown that with patience, they can dink and dunk 5 yard passes all the way down the field on us.

man coverage isnt the problem, the problem with it is we dont do it. soft zones are what are defense consists of. lack of speed in defensive backfields make teams play zone if we had more speed back there then man would be a better option, if you cant keep up you play zone the majority of the time or farley's just so dead set on playing zone (ex: screen passes with no one around but the one guy who's zone it is). man would be a nice change but i think you'd see a lot more deep plays against us if we didnt play zone
