Who would you rather have? Steve Young or Ryan Leaf?

 I'm confused right now. I keep looking at what we've done this offseason and hearing these comments that just don't compute.

Does anyone remember these names: Bob Slowik, Marlon Mcree, Dre Bly, Jamie Winborn, that other safety we had...

No? Why not? They aren't here anymore. Why aren't they here? They couldn't produce.Most were too old to be the same as they were in their youth and in their prime.

So who do we have now? Mike Nolan, and the assistants he brought with him(all stars at DL and LB coach), Andra Davis, Reynaldo Hill, Andre Goodman, Ronald Fields... Again I could go on... Oh there's one more thing we have: A new head coach and a completely different scheme.

Now I'm not going to ask you to name Steelers defensive players or Ravens defensive players let's pick a team that's a little less obvious, like say Atlanta. Name 2 defensive players for that squad last year. Tough, right? Ok then try naming some of Miami's defenders... What do those teams have in common(and more importantly what do they have in common with us?

Last year both of those teams started almost from scratch with their rosters. Both of those teams had new people in important positions in the front office and on the field. Both of those teams went to the playoffs.

Right now we are at the same point. 

I want to understand why everyone keeps saying this is the same defense. Go look through our roster and remember how a base 3-4 or a nickle 2-4-5 look. Go look at where we've projecting some of the guys we already have on our roster(like Dumerville, Thomas, Powell) and I dare you to tell me it's the same defense we had last year.

I'm going to borrow Brandon Marshall's quote here. I'm gonna follow the guys with the rings.

Where there's smoke there's fire. It's a tired cliche to be sure, but right now the smoke is getting thicker surrounding Marshall. It may be time to get below the smoke and find the escape route.
