I also thought Gallimore would be much better. If he suddenly is in Miami….that’s gonna be tough to handle.
If you look at say, WR and CB, throw in edge rusher…..those players are much more marketable than the blue collar dudes that play DT, MLB and S. I’m not saying that’s how they operate fully, but I’m sure it’s a factor….if you’re not able to at least offset some of your salary with marketability, they will be hesitant to invent higher end resources.
That’s the gut of the defense, and how they’ve been burned several times before. Instead they seem to want to blame it on the ball not bouncing correctly.
Again though its not as if they haven’t tried at DT, they have simply failed. Games are won and lost in the front office as much as on the field.
My point overall is there is only one angle they haven’t tried at DT, which is spending for a proven one. Stevie’s little draft only system, while ideal in theory, hasn’t worked and probably won’t. You’d figure that would prompt the thought of some change, and maybe it has…..then they realize that no one in the world is smarter than them, and stick with it.
I want to be positive as opposed to complaining, but I have a tough time thinking they are ever going to get this right.
