Barry from MS

There was a thread on here earlier asking if we are "tough enough". SF, CIN, and BAL are "tough" teams. They are solid in the middle of the field on both sides of the ball. We lost all 3 at home with the last 2 being pretty sad.

It seems our front office & coaching staff are enamored with "bright, shiny objects". Corners and wide outs are great to have, but if you can't win the battle in the middle of the field, drafting corners & wideouts are pointless if the others teams are:

1) cramming it down your throat with the running game at will...exactly how many shut-down corners do you need to draft to stop this from happening?
2) stuffing your running game between the tackles...most defenses look good when an offense is forced to become one-dimensional.
3) putting constant QB pressure from between the tackles...that makes any future HoF QB look average.

A good, physical football team wins the middle of the field on both sides of the ball. And it travels well regardless of weather.
