I thought it was the defense that was the problem that needed fixing

His claim to fame is he took over for Ray lewis and to tell the truth I just don't see how that is much better than what we had.

I don't know call me crazy but I think they blew up the wrong side of the ball

Good point. I think 2014 was just a year where a lot of players simply under-achieved. The talent is there in Jordan, Hicks, Galette, JJenkins, Lewis, Vaccaro, Byrd, Foster, Bunkley, Bush...

The glaring blinding gaping hole on defense was that #2 CB. I think we've addressed that partially with Browner and I expect more moves to come.

But you are correct, I expected more sooner. But its still very early in the off-season so there's still plenty of time.

First off, make Drew happy and keep him from running for his life. Improve the O-line and running game, which I think we did quite well so far.
