If you recall, thanks to the Xspantion Draft we really started out with a fairly descent defense. Seth Payne @ nose and Gary Walker at one DE made for a solid group of DLinemen in the Capers 3-4. And Sharper was an excellent inside backer with Coleman & Glenn (especially Aaron) and we had the nucleus for a good little 3-4 D.
I dunno why Capers & Fangio (I think that was his D cooardinator?) had so much trouble coming up with even one really good OLB to rush from the edge ? Obviously the Babin pick was another mistake. They were supposed to be the 3-4 gurus, right ? But they never could find that one really good pass-rusher, that tweener from the college ranks who made it big as a 3-4 OLB.
But a second & third-rounder for P-Burnt. WOW !
