What I know is, that defense is going to be scary as shit this year.

The Harrison and Woodley combination might force me to take a cold shower at halftime of every game.

Troy and Clark are probably the best safety duo in the league, in my opinion. There are certainly safeties with more talent than Clark, but I can't see any of those guys working so well with Troy. He puts the fear of God into WRs coming over the deep and intermediate middle thirds of the field, allowing Troy to do his roaming. I enjoy watching those two work more than anyone.

Farrior looks like he just turned 28 years old before the season.

My biggest worry about the defense is the other IL spot. I haven't been impressed with Timmons as of yet. I've seen him misread plays, get pushed around, and, worst of all, get absolutely decleated by head-on blocks from blockers he's seen coming. It's one thing to get sealed off by an o-lineman. At least you're still taking up a blocker in that case. But to have a guy knock you backwards, onto your ass, is inexcusable for an ILB. Kerayon Fox, on the other hand, has made some great plays out there. I admittedly haven't really focused much on the individual LB play during these games, so that perception may be the result of Fox having more "highlight" moments, while Timmons may very well be doing some of the more subtle things correctly, but I haven't seen it.

Gay is an outstanding tackler from the CB spot. I still worry about Gay being on an island with some of the league's speedier #2 WR's, but from a tackling standpoint, Ike and Gay are a great pair to have.

Having Deshea line up in the nickel, where he'll hopefully be able to rely more on his ability to read plays, and less on his athleticism, is going to be a really nice luxury.

I actually think Timmons getting blown up by Sellers from the Skins is confirmation that he is the right guy. He got trucked by a 275 FB that has one mission on his mind. The fact that Timmons ran square into and got fuckin knocked flat on his back shows that Timmon's plays fearless. If you re-watch that play I believe you will see Timmons get up as fast as he could to rejoin the action. Also, he seemed to be playing with the same fire on the subsequent plays. I am not worried about Timmons at all. I don't think guys like Farrior would be talking him up as much as they do if Timmons was a pussssy.

I don't really doubt Timmons' mindset as much as I wonder if he has the strength and technique to plug holes when needed. I know Sellers is a heckuva blocker and all, but a middle linebacker shouldn't be getting crushed like that.

That aside, I'm not basing my opinion off that one play. I've repeatedly seen him getting blown out of his gap and sealed off on running plays. I haven't seen him rushing the passer all that often, but it seems like when he has, he's been getting glued to blockers. I haven't seen much technique out of him in terms of getting through blocks. Technique can be taught, sure, but I'm talking in terms of right now. And, right now, I fear that he's going to be the weak spot in an otherwise out of this world defense.
