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

If anything, we just need some athletic ILB's.

Offensively, I wonder if Lelito will be our new LG or if we're still looking. I wanted Barksdale to take over at RT. As y'all know, I'm not a Strief fan. I do wonder if we could move Strief to Guard and let Barksdale play RT though. Our RB trio is pretty damn deadly right now.

Strief at 6'-7 is too tall to play OG, especially with a 5-10 QB.

One thing NFL Radio gurus mentioned about Unger was how he concentrated on consistently staying low and keeping the DT's low since Seattle had a short QB. Its a perfect fit for Drew.
