Our DE's and OLB are crap. They are getting blocked consistantly and not fighting through the blocks. Then they are having to chase down runners they make poor tackling techniques.

Our back end of the defense is just about as good as any team. Our LB's are weak and our front 4 struggles to get a pass rush.
But thats why we drafted Jordan, Wilson, and Romeus and signed McBride, Franklin, Johnson and Rogers and are developing promising young players like Galette and Casillas. It hasn't worked out like we'd hoped yet but at least they know where our problems are and are doing something about it. I remember a previous regime that ignored gaping holes year after year.
Good LB's can be had in the middle rounds, so look for us to address it again in next years draft. |
