Re: I thought it was the defense that was the problem that needed fixing
Cam Jordan isn't the issue, the NT and RDE are the issues. Akiem Hicks is a perfect 4-3 Under Tackle or 3/4 NT, but he lacks the burst to be a 3/4 End. Therein lies the problem. Cam is the only player on the 3/4 D-Line who can set the edge and rush the passer. If they were looking at trading him it was for multiple picks. If we can get an adequate DE opposite Cam, then the D-Line becomes a strength. This is the reason we ran a 4 man front such a high percentage of the time. We need a true 3/4 DE, then we can rotate Hicks and Jenkins at NT.
