I specifically looked at our ranking in each of the main defensive categories.
The two worst areas or our defense are:
1) Interceptions, we are 27th in the league in getting interceptions.
2) Sacks, we are 26th in the league in sacks.
Our 2 best areas are:
1) Were 10th in the league on preventing touchdowns.
1) Tie- Total yards (13th) and Scoring (13th).
What do we read into it?
Not much to read into us needing more sacks. Its our number 1 need to make our defense better.
I will continue to preach that we need the best damn guy we can get in the offseason. To me thats Terrell Suggs, he fixes our OLB need and adds alot of pass rush potential in one large swoop. Yes, hes not a guy that plays the cover 2, but he can play WLB where we need a pass rusher. He can fit that scheme just fine. We are less than likely to pay the 8+ mill hes gonna command. Although considering the coin we gave Dockery at G, I could justify it.
I think its more likely that we go the draft route. Guys like Selvie, Hardy, and Everrette Brown ought to be able to help, but they may not pan out so who knows.
As for interceptions, I think we need another starting S early. I think it should be someone whos a very fast and mobile SS or a top FS talent assuming we move Whitner back to SS. I think William Moore is one of the best S prospects I have watched in a long time. Hes great against the run, hes great against the pass and he has the nasty demeanor to be everywhere you want to be, hes a football version of a Visa card. He probably wont fall to where we sit. After that, Taylor Mays can play, so can Myron Rolle, maybe Rashad Johnson, maybe Nic Harris. Free agency has squat.
