if the pirates can get sound on defense they can be tough next year. A 3-5 look would be great for them with the linebacker speed they have. Best of luck to the pirates, now you got to get in the weight room.

I couldn't disagree more. The defense couldn't get off the field thanks to the two quarterback's turnovers, mainly the rose kid you are so high on. I'll admit the kid looked good at times but you can't turn the ball over the way he did. 1) It's hard to score without the ball 2) It puts an enormous strain on your defense 3) It keeps the opposition in contention throughout the game. The defense wasn't fantastic but I'm sure they could have been a lot better if the offense could stay on the field.
