DE evaluation

You have to commit to building a championship caliber D and that starts with the front 7. Our front 7 can NOT put pressure on anyone. Sure they can stop someone who runs at them but having to go chase someone - FORGET IT. PRESURE, PRESURE, PRESURE. I can't name not one CB on the Giants team but I did see Brady get slammed to the turf over and over by there front 7. We are no where near that.

That was my point exactly, Euph. If the front 7 is doing there job, the CB, and SS really have nothing to worry about.

Our secondary just got hammered this year. One play after another.

Euph,

We are definitely on the same page. I don't think the entire front 7 can be overhauled. Do you think we can build a workable pressure defense around the 3-4 players that we know we are going to have to keep in the front 7: Grant, Smith, Fujita, and most likely Thomas? If we get the stud DT (say Ellis) and sign the impact MLB (Briggs for example), could that be enough of an upgrade to at least start moving in the right direction?

I certainly hope so.
