Bigger holes on Offensive or Defensive Line?

[Yakuza Rich]

D-Line, no doubt.

Crawford, Collins, Charlton can't play.

Running game really got going when we went to 21 personnel because at 12 personnel neither Witten nor Hanna are blocking consistently well.

I actually sorta like Cooper at LG. He's very good at re-directing defenders. I think Collins just needs a year at RT to improve and we always have Green to back them up.

Jaylon wasn't good, but you start to see where a lot of the issues on defense yesterday were caused by M. Collins and Crawford. The pass TD to Nelson was a perfect example. Byron and Jaylon had to shade towards Crawford because it's an easy 6-yards if it's a run. GB play faked and Nelson was wide open. I would have liked Byron to play his role, but I can understand why he did what he did. Not sure what Brown was doing, but he would have had difficulty stopping that anyway. Point being...if we have somebody halfway competent at stopping the run on the weakside of the D-Line, other players don't have to get out of position.

Our offense is dropping 30 a game. I'd like to see us get a Fletcher Cox-type to just eat up the middle of the d-line. A competent safety and LB addition would be nice too.

The Cowboys could have drafted Luke Kuechly..Fletcher Cox or Dontari Poe...Donte Hightower and others..but took Mo Claiborne AND traded up to get him.

OL hasn't been great, but its not just that there are "holes." The hole would be at LG, but Tyron is just getting beat more than he should and Collins is on roller skates at times. They seem out of sync or something. On the DL, DLaw is playing well, but he's a FA next year. Irving can play, but outside of that we basically have nobody.

It will take 5-10 years to build this team because Garrett's offense and defense requires elite talent at every position in order to succeed. Once we have a 1st or 2nd rounder at every position, then we will truly see "the process" start to pay off!
