My question is Why Would We??
We had the #3 Offense & #9 Defense in the NFL last year.
It wasn't our offense that blew the game against the Giants!
With twenty-some seconds left in the first half, the Giants marched down the field & scored a touchdown on a very average secondary. This was just after our offense took like ten minutes off the clock & scored a TD of their own. This had to be totally demoralizing to our offense.
Neither of our defenses of the 90s nor of the 70s ever would have let that happen. Why? Two reasons. They both had great pass rushes. They both had great secondaries.
So, in order to solve our problem, and get to the Super Bowl this year, we should give up at least both of our first round picks for a RB??!! Wow, that is so original! I never would have thought to go that route. I guess because it's just plain STUPID!!!!
We need at least two more CBs, a SS, a NT, and at least one more pass rusher. Just look at how the Giants whupped our a**, and every other team to grab the Lombardi. Their DEFENSE was all over the QBs, and even when the QBs did have time to throw, their receivers were covered because NY had 3-4 excellent CBs & Safeties shadowing their every move.
We either do the same thing, or we fail. It's that simple.
