Agreed..

This team is flooded with holes

It's depressing to sit down and try and come up with a way to solve all these holes.

There is no quick fix, we just need to continue to build through the draft. The problem was we did not draft well from 2006-2009, hence the holes throughout our roster and the age gap between our veteran core(witten, ware, etc) and the young core (lee, dez, tyron, mo, etc).

Could someone explain just what a "Warren Sapp" type player is exactly? If that means we need a really good DT, then yeah we need a Warren Sapp type.

Disruptive 3-technique. Ratliff could be that guy but age, injuries and decline in play makes it questionable if he can.

People also forget how good Simeon Rice was, he was a top passrusher at that time.

Yup when they brought him in in 2001, it transformed that defense.

Kiffin tailored that defense to the talent he had. He'll do the same in Dallas.

boy, that would be a refreshing change of pace

Does anyone even know who the Vikings safety and OLB were back when he coached there? All I remember is Doleman and Millard headlining that defense.

They also forget what a player Brooks was as well. How many pick 6's has that guy had in his career? One of the best LB's to ever play the game IMO.
