We've got guys coming off of injured reserve, rookies who're wiser, and the draft will be fairly deep as it was last year at the position...

They'll be good guards in the mid rounds as well...

Don't understand national pundits having us go after CB...

Sign RG Kevin Zeitler, and we can pretty much let the good players fall to us in the draft...

I agree that we have to get after the QB, C. Jordan is playing well and does get after the QB. However, most of the time he has 2 to 3 people defending him and without someone to draw some of this attention he will be a non factor most of the game.

Better cover guys can help this effort by playing smart and not being behind the sticks on 3rd downs (Defensive Coordinator). Letting teams catch the ball 5 to 7 yards in front of us when they need 7 to 8 yards for a first down is a gamble that continues to hurt us. We have to have cover guys that can pay Man Coverage in these situations and not use their hands beyond the 5 yard allowance. This is my issue with D. Breaux. No doubt he is good but he has to get his head around and go after the ball. I am simply not seeing him elevate his game. (I was mistaken in and earlier post when I said he was the most penalized CB. he is not). His play is hurting frustrating in so many ways I could right a book about it. PLAY THE BALL! DON'T TOUCH PULL AT THE RECEIVERS! I digress.
