Re: Rebuild?
The defense is long in tooth. Read my blog and give you a run down on the ages and what we are really looking at on the defense.
Rent A Defense - Black and Gold Forums Talent I agree but it will take more than FA to build this unit. Youth is needed. I am still ticked over the davis cut at CB in the beginning of the year. Age alone was reason enough to keep him. Funny how Cinnci jumped all over him. They saw something I bet at the group practices in the pre-season. Boy Fred was worth keeping over him. The OL did what I thought they would. Pass protect. That is what they built for. With Duce gone it was over for them. Bush is no longer the impact player he was last year. He gets less attention freeing up LB and S. As long as a team comes in with the attitude they will score and scoring is all they need to do to win we will get stuffed and blitzed all game long. Till the defense steps up and reduces the points needed by our offense to win it will not change. right now those points are at 30+. The OL is not done rebuilding by a long shot. It needs a couple of key pieces. NO center is not one of them. There is nothing out there in FA or the draft to change that. So lets not even go there. LT and OG is were I would start. Now there are FA and the draft is going to have more than 4 good LT in it. Then reshuffling the line and we can start talking about opening some wholes for the RB. The defense need more than 2 pieces thats for sure. Gibbs is working with a half deck. I am not ready to hang him. YET |
