Awesome.

On the defensive side, this turnover drought is unbearable, since that is a symptom of a bad defense. Our Middle Linebackers do not help matters, either. Not quick enough or athletic enough to defend the pass...we saw that last night with Brees' INT. Linebacker deflected the pass for the pick, but we do not have that luxury.

Yet we simply do not draft linebackers in the 1st or 2nd round. Last one was Mark Fields in 1995. 19 years. Wrap your head around that one.
