If you cant stop the run, and if you cant run the ball....you aint going nowhere, period end of story. BAlbert is nice but he's a pass blocking LT hired to "protect the blind side..."

On D, anyone can argue losing Solai softens our pure run D...which was soft last year. At LB we are mediocre at best. So where have we improved in these areas?

We haven't, and probably wont via FA. But Hickey better make perfect moves in these areas or we'll be .500 again.
 
Earl Mitchell? Randy Starks returns?

I think the moves have been made for our defensive line.

At best Mitchell vs Solai is a wash, not an improvement, at best. Starks? wasnt he on the Dline last year...the same one that got shredded vs run... where is the improvement? Doh!
 
A couple of days into FA and people complaining already about the team. Let FA and the draft finish first.

Defence was not the reason this team was .500. We were 8th best in points allowed per game. The offence was the problem due to the horrible line play. Second half's of games were pitiful because teams would bring pressure and the line couldn't hold. If they completely ignore the defense the rest of the offseason i wouldn't be overly concerned but if they ignore offence then i would be concerned.

you really need to READ my post. Its not a complaint. Its an observation. There is no criticism in my post.

So what do you want as of today only a few days into FA - a 20 year improvement.

Reality needs to hit some of you.
 
We have been mediocre for 20 years because we have been ignoring offense for 20 years.

We have been slaves to the twin fetishes/LIES of "defense wins championships" and "build inside-out".

I am hoping beyond hope that Hickey will get us a 1000 Yd RB who can be a difference maker. Not a "name" guy like carlos hype either but a REAL carry-the-mail big yardage guy. Tre Mason anyone? And yes WE DO NEED A WR and a TE who can stretch the field.

Of course one could make the point that helping the passing game (Albert) tends to open up the running game more ...

Just saying.
