We can move the ball up and down between the 20's with the best of them...

But we often struggled in 3rd and longs and in the red zone on particularly crucial conversions and it showed in the W-L column...



And this is why you grabbed the rarer talent; I'd have have a number of rotational, younger guys on defense; guys that will still be there in later rounds...

But since age has caught up with Colston and the Graham trade, we haven't had that defense killer that kept drives going or that jumpball red zone threat..
And to think we could have had Mathews, Philly got a reciever there If anything with Philly in a bad state I would seriously look at getting him by offering a pick .Colston 2.0
