What position do you guys think that would help us the most on defense,
Safety?
Corner?
DT?
Linebacker?
Weigh in and share your thoughts. I think a case can be made for each.
I am curious if we can poach a guy off of another team’s practice squad to fill the void at safety.
CB would be last on the list with me, since Brown's return to add with rookie Diggs
and with Awuzie in a couple of weeks - Lewis and Worley are what they are .. emergency CBs in a pinch.
- the biggest problem is clearly hurting us at DT. where we just lost clearly our best DT in Trysten Hill .. (Ouch!)
he was showing splash penetrating ability in spots before the ACL injury
- Poe is useless, either he is still out of shape, unmotivated or he simply does not have anything left in him.
for all his birth and weight room strength, he's still getting turned sideways and he simply cannot get off blocks.
He signed a 2 year deal but i clearly do not see him back next year.
- Not far behind is Crawford - those that have observed him will continue to note how he is getting knocked
and bounced around every single game. he doesn't have his legs, he's running on empty, and this is by a guy that
wasn't even starting. heaven forbid if he is forced into the starting lineup at 3 tech per Hill injury.
His body simply cannot take that much pounding as he is already still struggling as just a rotation guy.
- Woods is being overexposed, he's not good at stacking the double teams, and the more he plays, the more he is exposed
and worn down. But now he becomes our best DT.
- Rookie Gallimore is still too raw and inexperience, but when he does gets freed up on a rush, he can really motor
to the QB in a hurry.
His run stuff and lack of anchor core and subpar techniques is gonna keep him as a rotation guy in the meantime.
But we have to play him.
Until we get better play from our DTs, the LBs will continue to be that much more pounded and expose- more leaks in
an already porous run defense.
