Would you trade for Asante Samuel?

Sure we have 14 sacks, 11 of those were on Cutler.
We are getting no pressure from the front 4 and MOST times with 6 we don't get there.
That leaves us vulnerable beyond 3.5 seconds, especially if we bring the house.
Very few DB's in the league can cover for more than 3.5 seconds.
Once the QB slips away, and there's a free for all down field, we are toast.
Now somebody has to make a tackle up field, probably somebody slow, with no angle.
Our troubles are front side. Our front 4 are last on the tackle list every week,
and our DB's are first on the list, every week. We are giving up 5.1 per rush.
After run support, our DB's have nothing left for pass coverage.
I would give up Hartley for Samuels.

Excellent points. Omitting the Cutler sacks (he's on pace to shatter the NFL sacked record) we're averaging 1.6 sacks per game. Jared Allen (that guy everyone made fun of) has more sacks than our entire team.

Thats pathetic.
