Our defense this year
So I'm watching NFL Replay right now, Chargers vs. Vikings. Yes Peterson was obviously the star in this game but Minny's defense was very impressive. That got me thinking, we need to play defense like THAT!!! None of this rush 4 drop 7 nonsense on every single freakin down. BLITZ!!! Anticipate a run, and stack the line clogging the gaps!!! Basically we need to be very agressive instead of this bend but don't break bull-poop that never works anyway. I mean, Minny was all over the Chargers, blitzing them, and even on handoffs, they're hitting HARD and sticking it to Tomlinson. I would LOVE for us to play this way. Weather Rob Ryan (or Al) allows it is another story.

Great idea, the problem last year was when we blitzed we would get burned for big yards. But now that we have a Secondary that excels in tackling blitzing sounds great.

If we don't begin to blitz more with the secondary we have then I don't know whats up with Ryan.

Our defense is as vanilla as they come. Just another reason they won't be succesful

Blitzing is the key to putting unknown pressure on a QB if he doesn't know who's coming then that gives us an advantage but since we hardly ever blitz then why look out for it.

I think we should adopt the Atl Falcons Gritz Blitz of the late 70's under Jerry Glanville

Maybe they should start with tackling, and then work their way up to blitzing............

I just would like to see a more aggressive defense than in years past. This rush 4 drop 7 on every down isn't cutting it.

Amen.
It baffles me that we have a millionare defensive football players some drafted in the first round even. And we have to hope that they can make the tackle. Sad. The last thing we should be worried about pro football players doing is tackling. But maybe the Raiders scout department doesn't worry as much about tackling as they do 40 yard dash time.
