I know most don't want to hear it, but we're simply not going anywhere until we fix the D. Pretty sure McC is well aware of that. Galley and Diggs are a good start. Need tons more talent on D, though at this point.
Seems you're right: Most don't want to hear it. :omg:

That doesn't change what it appears to have happen by trying to make player fit their scheme instead of doing what they said they were going to do and that is play the scheme that fits the players. There's all kinds of film on how they played to see what schemes work and it just seems they decided on a scheme and are making the player fit that instead of the other way around.

There was no offseason. These things will take time.

Let’s see where we are in November with Lee/LVE/Gregory/Brown, more experienced rookies and more time in the new system.

Or even better: Some of the replacements look superior to the guys that can't stay on the field to begin with.
And Gregory.

Open up the offense and make other teams pass to keep up.

I like our DEs to give us some rush and get some stops. Need to switch to more hand on the ground for Griffen and DLaw. Use what we've got properly. *Supposedly* this is McCarthy's philosophy. "Give me players, and I'll fit the scheme to them." Then do it.

Thomas playing well. Jaylon played better. Getting LVE back. XWoods playing well. Gregory should deepen the DE pass rush.

The quality at DE is well suited to the offense making the game a shootout. We've got the quality on offense to do that. Just need the will.

If Thomas keeps playing like he's doing, LVE can sit until Thomas doesn't have it anymore.
Or take over for Jaylon.

Oh no! What have I said?!

No. Not at all. I think you're misunderstanding what rebuilding is. The Blue Jays were rebuilding years ago still are. They blew up the whole roster. We havent done that nor do we need to. We are far from a Jacksonville and are not rebuilding.

This is much more meaningful and useful than disparaging emoticons.

Thomas is on the small side. I'd rather bring back LVE sooner rather than later for a rotation so we don't break Thomas with too many snaps. Thomas and Jaylon both had good games. LVE is our best LB when healthy.

It's not unrealistic that we'll soon have a high quality rotation of interior LBs soon. No guarantee, but that's where we're heading in a few games w/o another injury at LB.

I get what you're saying. I guess I just have a poorer view of LVE's play lately than you.
It's cool. I'm not saying I'm right.

LVE hasn't been playing that well lately, and that goes back through last year, but he hasn't been that healthy in a while either. I think he should be able to play well again, and the faster we can get there, the better.

He's shown us the most at LB, and when younger. I don't think he has a physical limitation to get back to that level, though I worry he has a physical limitation to stay healthy.

Our concerns align.
