It's actually not hard at all to overhaul a defense in one offseason. Especially when you've got players you like backing up the ones you let walk. That's not our problem. Our problem is we lack impact pass rushers, and there aren't many available outside the first round of the draft.

Unless we lose both Carr and Mo, we're in pretty manageable shape still to get that unit in a place where we can seriously address it in the draft.

something sensible ill go with it.

Actually there are some decent names on that list. For example, I don't think there is much of a drop off from Church to TJ McDonald at S. And there are still some decent CBs out there that are no worse and likely will come cheaper than Claiborne. I'd be eyeing a guy like Ryan from NE. He'd be an upgrade IMO at CB.
All those CBs are better than Mo:laugh:

I don't see it with the offense.

Williams is replaceable. Leary is already replaced and Zeke and Dak should be better in their sophomore season. We will be fine. We still have the same ball control, efficient offense in place that played. A huge role in winning 13 games.

well leary > collins, and we have not replaced williams...

I am sure there is someone in the draft who has an injury that requires surgery or another problem that we swear we can cure whom will fill our needs.

Anyone know if barwin would be cheap? Sounds like a good quiet pickup..

It's all about who has the best core and who drafts the best.

Our core is Dak, Dez, Zeke, Smith, Fred and Martin. I would take that core over anyone.

We still need to do a little more on defense though. It seems we are intent on some mathematical equation. The team is under the impression that we will score points consistently and other teams will press and make mistakes on offense when the fields get shorter.

I guess it worked last season and 14, still need to invest in talent though.

The offense is not the problem and hasn't been for awhile. Our Defense is completely trash and it started to show during the Detroit game on Monday Night and Marinelli couldn't hide it anymore.

Seriously Jerry's Grandson probably could've got his High School Team down to the Redzone for a couple of Fg attempts against that Defense. Especially when Marinelli wants to go to Prevent.
