Add to the good points already made. One starting CB is a 2nd year guy, one DE is entering his 3rd year, the other DE that should start is entering his 4th year and it would be his 1st as a starter (Cochran). The starting DTs are a 2nd and 3rd year guy being backed up by a rookie. The starting LBs only have one guy with over 3 years experience. The DBs have 2 starters with less than 4 years.
Guys this team has not had time to mature yet. This and next year will still be growing years for the defense. And they are getting better every year. Remember most of you wanted to cut Mario after his rookie season ( exaggeration). Let the guys mature. McNair has patience, so should we. I still think we are pushing for a playoff spot, just missing but pushing.
