Well, there defence does seem to be shaping up. I just hope they can keep it threw next year. Also Hopefully this guy is good?

they definitely picked up some guys on defense, but they also lost a bunc of guys on defense as well. and granted they picked up brown, but he hardly the answer at DB, they need some help there bad.

almost all of the Rams signings have been to upgrade the defense and it looks very good, but as ellis said Brown is not the answer.

Well he's a start to the problem, they haven't really had any CB since they let Bly go and Williams retired. If they can keep adding here and there and through the draft they will be much more improved from last year.
