Even if this is a rebuilding year how can anyone feel confident in gettleman to make the right moves moving forward for this defense. All of his key defensive acquisitions and release have been atrocious:
- big $$$ for Ogletree
- Kareem Martin
- releasing kennard and Okwara who have been big time players for Lions
- Jabrill Peppers - did nothing today
- Curtis Riley
- Antoine Bethea
- josh Mauro
Has he made any good move for this defense?
Baker, Beal, Love too early.
The d needs sometime to jell as a unit. The pass rush though. It isn't there and I don't see how it can get there anytime soon.
Most other guys let go, not so much.

Did Kennard produce against the Boys? The Cardinals OL is terrible.
The Giants picked a DE and edge rusher with the picks from Beckham, no?

3 sacks and 3 tackles for a loss today. Where the hell did this come from? He was garbage for us.

No, but he was one of their better defensive players last year and finished with 14 QB hits, 9 TFLs and 7 sacks. A very good player.
3 year plan. Seems we have been saying that for 7 years.
We will have a lot of cap space we have to see how the last
two drafts progress .
I will say this I am not big on Shurmur this to me is a make or break year for him .

Kennard was a very solid player for us. Is now in his prime.
One doesn't have to look at Gettleman's moves one by one.
The performance of the defense today tells us everything we have to know about how the man has performed in his job.

He basically gutted the defense within the past 12 months which should of been done before he got here. You can’t replace everything overnight especially when you don’t have a lot of cap to work with. We have some good young pieces to build around and we are eating all the dead money this season. Yes they sucked today and will be painful at times but will be better for it long term
Defensive coaching has been abysmal for
Too long
I keep hearing how good these guys look, but come game day they all pretty much sucked. Except Connelly who had a couple of flashes today.

Connerly, Balentine look promising.

Hill has actually played above his weight. The rest? TBD.

I'll judge him next year. Snacks was old. Apple was a bust. OV was a dud. I get you're mad, but I still view this as a year two of a three-year rebuild. The DT/DEs look good. The secondary talent is promising. We do need improvements at ILB and pass rusher.

Maybe you have.
And worse than that he was drafted by Reese, which is why he had to go. Reese found Okwara too so he had to go as well.
What choice to DG have?
