The Moves of Van Noy and Lawson I believe where made so Miami can make teams one dimensional by totally taking away the Run which is something the Patriots have always been successful with. Then when teams can’t run they are forced to go to the short passing game which is where Byron Jones and X can play in your face style of D.. Aggressive Versatile Defense is Flores Style.. These guys fit Perfect. Money aside I think we got a lot better so far.
Defense just got significantly better

I agree. Solid pickups that play in the Flores defense well. Filling the many holes we have with upside players. Given what this staff got out of practice squad and castoff players, its promising for sure.
We certainly did, and I have no complaints about the $.
We really had no choice but to spend a substantial amount. Yes, you can roll over from year to year, but it still has to average out. It would be hard to roll over 100 mil, and use it prudently. Most FAs are not interested in 1 or 2 year deals.

actually with Byron Jones, they want to take away the pass. Miami is still susceptible to the run. They need stronger defensive tackles

That will likely be addressed in the draft .... and just another reason to NOT trade up and lose picks!!
I would not be surprised at all to see those later 6 + 7 th round picks used to try and move back into the 4 + 5 rounds ...

Actually heard they’re one of the few teams left on DJ reader which would pretty much set up the defense, leaving only a safety in the draft as a true position of need.

That’s the thing I like about this spending spree over the past times because then we were just randomly adding players with no rhyme or reason.
with all 4 of these signings you see exactly how they fit into the overall plan. I’m excited

Not only the defense got better but this draft is loaded with talent on offense soit made sense they went for defense in free agency and we should be going heavy on offense with the draft.

Not to mention that the defense calls for a lot of variety and players need to be versatile, knowledgeable and constantly think on their feet; that fits the profile more so for guys who have been in the league for a couple years. Also I believe every player signed is super durable and is rarely if ever been hurt for any significant period of time.
